WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

August 5, 2025

Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

After starting our Tuesday at 64°, we warmed all the way up to 88° this afternoon. Highs could reach 90° on Wednesday but will be in the 90s for sure on Thursday and Friday. We could get as high as 94-95° this weekend and the humidity will increase some. The humidity will be no where near intense as it was the last week of July, but it will be enough to make it feel around 100° this weekend. Chances are low for rain on Wednesday and seem unlikely for Thursday and Friday. What is in store for the weekend? Catch the full forecast coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

Temperatures were warmer on Tuesday than Monday due to the clouds breaking up a bit and the sun peaking through for a few hours in the afternoon. Tuesday was our best chance for rain all week and chances were only 30% and almost all of us missed out. We did see partly cloudy skies with highs reaching back into the upper 80s. The winds were light and came out of the east most of the day. Tuesday night lows will fall down to the upper 60s or 70° making for a really nice and comfortable night.

Mostly sunny skies are expected for Wednesday and Thursday this week. Highs will reach the low 90s both days and chances for rain are less than 10% both days. The winds will be light and come out of the east both days as well and that will keep the humidity down. Morning lows will flirt around the 70° during the middle of the week. The weather is going to be great in the middle of the week but we are starting to get to the point where drought concerns are going to be mentioned if we do not get some rain soon.

The nice weather is expected to continue for our Friday across West Tennessee as well. Highs may be a bit warmer on Friday than they were in the middle of the week. Highs will reach the low to mid 90s but mostly sunny skies are likely during the afternoon and evening hours. Chances for rain appear to be really low on Friday and will remain low into the upcoming weekend. Friday night lows will drop down to around 70° to kick off the weekend.

THIS WEEKEND:

Another really nice weekend looks to be on tap for West Tennessee. Rain chances appear to be below 20% as of now. Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy at times. The winds will shift from the east to the south as the weekend goes on. That may increase the humidity a little bit and help warm temperatures back into the mid 90s for some of us. It will NOT be hot enough for an extreme heat warning and a heat advisory also appears unlikely at this time. Take advantage of the weather this weekend because it will be nice and warm, but not too hot and humid and it appears we will not be encountering any storms either.
