It has been the hottest day of the year so far in many places in West Tennessee.

The heat is going no where on Tuesday and Wednesday and both days could be hotter than it was today. There is some relief on the way as a cold front is expected to move through on Thursday. Cooler weather including some storm chances will accompany the front . We will have the latest forecast details coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

After a little cooler, but still hot, weather this weekend, the extreme heat returned on Monday and will be going nowhere for the first few days of the work week. Highs will reach the upper 90s and some 100° are expected for both Tuesday and Wednesday. The weather will also be very humid making it feel over 110° the next few afternoon and evenings as well. This may end up being the hottest weather in 2025 so please take the necessary precautions if you are going to be out and about in this heat. A legit cold front though is coming on Thursday, so be patient if you can.

We saw mostly sunny skies on Monday and there were a few pop up showers and weak storms but unfortunately most of us missed out. Most of us will miss again on Tuesday but some folks might get lucky. There is a much better chance for rain and storms on Thursday this week as the cold front moves through. Highs reach the upper 90s for most of us on Monday and overnight lows will fall down to mid 70s Monday night. Rain showers are not expected and we should see mostly clear skies with calm winds making for another muggy night.

Tuesday could end up being a little hotter for some of us than it was on Monday. Highs will again reach the upper 90s with some 100s being possible in the afternoon and evening hours. Skies will remain mostly sunny and although a few pop up will be expected, rain chances are 20% at best. The winds will be calm most of the day and stay that way overnight into Wednesday morning.

Some really great news is on tap for our Thursday. A cold front will pass in the afternoon and bring some relief in the extreme heat. It will also bring a pretty good shot for some rain and likely some storms. As of now, chances are 60% in West Tennessee. There could be a couple strong or severe wind storms so we will be needing to watch that on Thursday as they move through. We will likely be under a level 1 or 2 for severe storms before they get here Thursday afternoon. Highs on Thursday will reach the low 90s before the clouds and showers start. Thursday night lows will drop down to the low 70s. Expect a mostly cloudy day on Thursday and northerly winds after the front passes.

Some showers and storms may linger into Friday depending on how long it takes for the front to move out of our area. Chances for rain are 30% and will be more likely during the first half of the day if they do redevelop. Highs on Friday will be in the mid 80s, much cooler than earlier in the week. Friday will also not be a humid day as the air mass behind the front will be drier as well as cooler. Friday night lows will fall down below 70° for the first time in a few weeks. Expect a mostly cloudy day and a steady light breeze out of the north.

THIS WEEKEND:

As of now we are expecting a cooler, mild and dry weekend. We are not 100% ruling out showers as of now but it will be cooler with highs in the mid 80s. Both mornings will be nice as well with temperatures starting out in the upper 60s to kick off the day. We are expecting a mostly sunny weekend too with the winds coming out of the northeast on Saturday and back to the east on Sunday. The forecast could change a bit as the weekend gets closer but it seems like it is going to be a really nice last weekend for many students in West Tennessee that will have to head back to school the following Monday!
