Nice Through the Weekend, Rain Chances Back Early Next Week!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
Very nice and pleasant weather is forecast to hang around West Tennessee for the rest of the week and last into the weekend. There could be a couple showers on Sunday but I wouldn’t count on it. Rain chances increase as we kick off next week. It is not a guarantee we are going to pick up some rain early next week but confidence is growing a little bit more each day. Highs will stay in the mid to upper 80s for the next 7-10 days. In the middle of October… we might finally see our first fall blast of the season. Catch the latest coming up right here.

September ended up being the 8th warmest on record for Jackson. Highs in general were about 5° above average each day. We only had 4 of the 30 days register below average. We only saw about 50% of the rain we typically get as well.

THIS WEEK:
We saw a few more clouds on Wednesday drifting in the east but rain showers didn’t show up or develop under the clouds. Highs still reached the upper 80s under the partly cloudy skies and the winds were light and came out of the east. It was another nice afternoon and more of the same is on the way for the next few days. Wednesday night lows will fall down to low to mid 60s due to a few more clouds lingering around.

The great weather will look to continue on Thursday with mostly sunny skies moving back in. There will be some clouds in the morning but they should move out during the day. Highs will reach the upper 80s again and the winds will be light out of the southeast by the afternoon. Rain again is not expected and Thursday night lows will drop down to around 60° as the skies clear out. Friday will be a little cooler but sunny skies are still expected. Highs will reach the mid 80s and overnight lows could fall down into the upper 50s. Friday night football looks great again and the winds will be light and staying out of the southeast.

THE WEEKEND:
Another great weekend looks to be on the way for all of West Tennessee. It will be our first weekend of October but the weather will NOT be October-like at all. Highs will reach the mid to upper 80s this weekend with morning lows starting out in the upper 50s both mornings. There will be some clouds on Saturday and maybe a few more clouds on Sunday. There is an outside chance of a weak system trying to move up out of The Gulf but there is little confidence in that system impacting us as of now. The winds will be light and come out of the southeast all weekend long. We will call it a 10% chance for rain on Sunday and a 20% chance for rain next Monday, but do not get too excited, we are not expecting much if anything at all. Make some plans as we do not know how many nice weekends we are going to have left before some actual fall like weather is on the way.
