Showers & Storms Back Thursday & Lasting into the Weekend!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Wednesday was another terrific day with sunny skies and light winds. The winds shifted to the south during the day and that increased the temperature and humidity a little bit, but it will not be overly hot for West Tennessee standards. Highs reached the mid to upper 80s but we fell just short of 90°. We should stay mostly clear Wednesday night with overnight lows falling down to the mid to upper 60s.

Thursday is going to be a little warmer and a bit humid as the next storm system will be getting a little closer. The rain should hold off for most of us until late Thursday evening but a few afternoon storms or showers cannot be ruled out.

Storm chances increase late in the evening as a low pressure system approaching from the southwest will be getting closer. Highs on Thursday will reach up to the mid to upper 80s again. Expect partly cloudy skies and the winds will be a tad breezy at times and come out of the south. Thursday night lows will drop down to around 70°. A few severe storms will be possible with gusty winds being the main threat for the majority of us.

Rain is looking likely on Friday and some storms are expected to mix in with the rain. The severe weather threat looks low with this system but there could be a severe storm or two so we will need to watch things closely on Friday and into the weekend as another stalled out system appears to be on the way. Highs on Friday will reach the mid to upper 80s depending on how early the showers and storms show up. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy and the winds will continue to come out of the south. Friday night lows will fall down to the low 70s to start off our wet weekend.
FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND:
Showers and storms appear likely for our Father’s Day weekend unfortunately in West Tennessee. Chances for rain both days are at 60% as of now. Storms are expected to mix in but overall the severe weather threat appears to be on the low side. If you are planning a BBQ, going to the lake or river you need to monitor the forecast as the week goes on and we gain more confidence in the timing and severity of the storms that could develop. Highs will still reach the mid to upper 80s this weekend as we are expecting southerly winds to keep our temperatures up some. The big question with the weekend forecast will be where the front and system decide to stall out. There will be more clouds than sun this weekend. Both nights lows will drop into the low 70s.
