WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Friday started out dry as the front that drifted through on Thursday was pushed back up to the north into the afternoon and a warm front lifted through. This allowed temperatures to climb back up into the low to mid 90s and increase the humidity a little bit. We saw a partly cloudy day on Friday will the winds coming in out of the southwest were light. The weather impacted a few of the games on Friday Night lights across West Tennessee as the storms lingering around 10pm for some of us. Friday night lows will fall down to around to the low 60s to kick off the weekend and showers will move back in overnight.

THE WEEKEND:

Another decent weekend looks to be coming for the first weekend of September for West Tennessee. As of now, shower chances are the greatest early Saturday with a 70% chance before noon. As the day goes on Saturday, the showers and clouds will move out by the evening hours. Skies in general will be partly cloudy and there will be more clouds on Saturday than Sunday. Both nights will drop to the mid to upper 50s and the winds will come out of the north or northeast this weekend. It will not be a hot and humid weekend but overall, it is looking pretty nice. Highs both days will reach the low 80s this weekend. Make some outdoor plans if you can as our nice weekends are most likely numbered for the rest of the season.

NEXT WEEK:

We are looking at a dry start to next week with Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday being quiet and mild days. Highs will start in the mid 80s but will warm back up to the upper 80s to near 90° by the middle of the week. Skies will be mostly sunny for the first half of the week and the winds will keep an easterly component to them keeping the humidity down as well. There could be some showers chances later in the week but as of now, the timing and rain amounts have yet to be determined in the forecast.
