WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Heads up if you have outdoor plans this Memorial Day Weekend. Rain showers and storms are expected all 3 days starting Friday night and lasting into Tuesday morning. The first round is coming in after midnight tonight and lingering through Saturday morning. The showers will move out early Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening/night is looking dry as of now. Another round of showers and storms is expecting late Sunday morning into the afternoon hours and a few strong or severe wind storms will be possible.

We should get a break Sunday evening into Monday morning but a third round of showers and possible strong storms will be moving through Memorial day afternoon and evening. I know this is NOT what you wanted to hear if you have camping or boating plans. You need to stay weather aware if you have any outdoor activities planned this holiday weekend. WBBJ will be watching the storms and rain over the weekend and keep you updated to any severe weather that may develop. Catch the full forecast coming up here.

The National Weather Service in Memphis surveyed the damage at the Kirkland Factory just to the west of Jackson Regional Airport southwest of Jackson around 3:15pm yesterday afternoon. The tornado was an EF-0 with 75 MPH winds, was 75 yards wind and on the ground for a little more than a mile. No injuries were reported from the brief tornado. Quick note on the severe weather yesterday. The National Weather Service completed a survey in Carroll County. They found sporadic straight line wind damage (maxed around 80 mph) in Clarksburg. We will bring you more storm damage survey’s when we receive them.

THIS WEEK:

Friday was a very nice day, it wasn’t too hot or humid and we saw plenty of sun. There will be some rain and weak storm chances returning late Friday night that will last into the weekend. They will linger into the day on Saturday. Severe storms seem unlikely Friday night and Saturday though but a few morning gusty wind storms cannot be ruled out. Highs on Friday only reached the mid 70s and Friday night will be a bit warm with overnight lows falling down to the upper 50s under the clouds and increased humidity. We started the day with mostly sunny skies but clouds will return later this evening and expect a mostly cloudy night. It will be warmer Friday night due to the clouds and shower chances that is was on Thursday night when the skies were clear and the humidity was low.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND:

Not great news for the upcoming weekend if you were hoping for 3 nice days. Each day of the holiday weekend will include some rain showers and maybe some weak storms. Severe weather seems unlikely this weekend but there will be some weak storms mixing in with the rain showers. The exact timing of the rain and storms each day is still yet to be determined but a low pressure system looks to be close enough to impact our weather each day. As of now the most likely day to encounter storms will be on Monday. Rain chances are 70% on Saturday, 80% on Sunday and 80% on Memorial Day. It is NOT going to rain all weekend and there will be some nice periods as well so I am not saying cancel your outdoor plans, but make sure you stay weather aware and no where to take shelter if a storm or the rain showers move into your area.

Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid 70s with Sunday maybe being a few degrees warmer. Monday will also be in the mid 70s but probably be a bit more humid as well due to the winds returning out of the southwest. The winds on Saturday are forecast to come out of the east keeping the dew point down a bit. Saturday night lows will fall to the low 60s but Sunday, the winds will return to the south, keeping Sunday night lows up and only falling down to the mid to upper 60s. The humidity will be increasing late in the weekend and that is why we think there is a better chance for storms on Monday than over the weekend. But again, each day we are expecting some rain showers to pop up at least. Expect more clouds than sun all weekend long and there will be several hours of cloudy skies although the sun may try to peek through each day for a couple hours as well.
