Brian Davis,

Drought will continue in the area and very little if any relief is in sight. A mostly dry and very hot weekend is coming our way and record setting heat is possible into next week.

THE WEEKEND:

High temperature records are in Jeopardy this weekend across West Tennessee. Highs will reach the mid to upper 90s and even a 100° or two cannot be ruled out for some of us across the region into early next week. The records are 96° on Saturday and 98° on Sunday. As of now, the record that will most likely fall will be on Saturday.

There is also a cold front coming towards the back half of next week too!'

We are also expecting mostly sunny skies this weekend with a few more clouds on Sunday than Saturday. There could also be a few showers early Sunday morning but chances are 20% at best. The areas most likely to get wet will be locations north and east of Jackson. ANy shower chances will clear out by Sunday afternoon. The winds on Saturday will come out of the east and turn to the southeast on Sunday increasing the humidity a bit. Overall, it will NOT be a humid weekend regardless though for summertime weather in West Tennessee. Nice weather is expected to continue as we kick off next week. The drought situation is increasing and the little rain we did get last week helped, but surely not enough.

NEXT WEEK:

Hot and dry weather is on tap for the start of next week as well. Highs again will be near record highs in the mid to upper 90s for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Chances for rain are slim to none through Wednesday but a cold front will pass sometime early on Thursday and could bring a few showers with it. Heavy rain that would help with the drought situation is not expected but we will take anything we can get at this time. Highs on Thursday and Friday will fall down to around 90° and be a little cooler behind the front. Skies will be mostly sunny for the first half of the week and there will be a few more clouds on Thursday and Friday due to the front. The winds will come out of the south to kick off the week but move to the southwest in the middle of the week. As the front passes on Thursday, the winds will shift back to the west for the most part.
