Pop up showers and storms have developed this afternoon in West Tennessee. So far, they all have been west of Jackson. A few storms will continue this evening; but after sunset, some heavier rain and stronger storms will look to move through our area. Gusty winds will be the main threat although some small hail or a brief weak tornado cannot be ruled out either. We will be tracking everything on the radar plus catch the latest on Friday, Saturday and Father’s Day weather forecasts coming up right here.

THIS WEEK:

Thursday was a little warmer and a bit more humid as the next storm system will be getting a little closer. The heavy rain should hold off for most of us until late Thursday evening but a few afternoon storms or showers did develop and will continue to impact some of us this evening. Storm chances increase late in the evening after the sunset as a low pressure system approaching from the southwest will be getting closer. a severe wind storm or two will be possible between 9pm and midnight.

Highs on Thursday reached up to the mid to upper 80s again. We saw partly cloudy skies early but more clouds will move in as the night gets closer. The winds were light for the most part and come out of the south. Thursday night lows will drop down to around 70°. Storms will wrap up a little after midnight but will look to move back in early in the day on Friday.

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 is higher on Saturday at 70% and only 30% as of now on Sunday. 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 80s this weekend as we are expecting southerly winds to keep our temperatures up some. The big question with the weekend forecast will be how fast the low pressure system moves out and if we will be dry on Father’s Day. There will be more clouds than sun this weekend. Both nights lows will drop into the low 70s.

NEXT WEEK:

More showers and pop up storms are expected as we head into next week. As of now, the storms do not appear to be the severe weather type storms. That being said, anytime a pop up storm can develop in a warm and humid environment they can become strong quickly and produce gusty winds. Chances for these storms are higher on Monday than on Tuesday but will try to pop back up again at times on Wednesday and Thursday. Keep a close eye on the sky and radar if you have outdoor plans next week to avoid any dangerous lightning that might show up. Highs next week will be in the upper 80s to low 90s each day. The overnight lows will only fall down to the low 70s each morning due to the high humidity that will be sticking around from the southwest winds. Every day next week will be similar to the previous day during the work week.
