THIS WEEK:

Monday was the warmest day so far this Spring, reaching up to 88° in Jackson around 5pm. We also saw plenty of sunshine and a light breeze out of the south making for a great day. The showers stayed away on Monday but will be returning for some of us off and on this week. Storm chances returned for some of us late Tuesday but most of us missed out. A couple wind storms will be possible as we are under a slight (2/5) risk for severe storms. Tornadoes are not expected and hail and flooding also seem like a small concern as of now. Some of the storms could linger into Wednesday morning. There is a chance most of them stay just to the northwest of West Tennessee and chances are currently 30% on Tuesday.

Tuesday was another warm day with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s again. The winds stayed out of the south on Tuesday and it was a bit breezy as well. Skies started out mostly sunny before some clouds built back in towards the evening hours. Tuesday night lows will dip into the mid 60s to kick off our Wednesday. Wednesday will also be warm with highs reaching the mid 80s. The winds on Wednesday will still come out of the south and expect a partly cloudy day. Wednesday night lows will fall to the mid to upper 60s.

There could be some more showers and storms coming back Wednesday night but our best chances for showers and storms this week will be on Thursday. Like Tuesday, a few of these storms could be strong or severe in the afternoon and evening hours. Chances for rain on Thursday as of now are 60%. Thursday highs will reach the low 80s as we are expecting a mostly cloudy day keeping the temperatures down a bit, The winds will come out of the southwest on Thursday and the next front will look to pass by sometime in the day on Friday.
