We are expecting another perfect night for Friday Night Lights across West Tennessee. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s at kickoff and mid 60s but the end of the games. No umbrella is needed as rain is NOT expected tonight or anytime on Saturday. A shower or two cannot be ruled out on Sunday but rain chances really increase on Monday into Tuesday next week. There could be a low pressure system coming up out of The Gulf later this weekend that might drift north and impact us with some rain showers. A cold front is also expected to move through on Wednesday which could bring a few more showers with it. Catch the latest forecast details coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

The great weather continued on Thursday with mostly sunny skies sticking around in West Tennessee. There were a few clouds in the morning but they moved out quickly during the day. Highs reached the upper 80s again and the winds were light and came out of the southeast by the afternoon. Rain didn’t come down in West Tennessee but a few showers popped in Missouri and Kentucky. Thursday night lows dropped down to around 60° as the skies cleared out. Friday was a little cooler but sunny skies still hung around all day. Highs still reached 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 this weekend. 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 30% 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.

NEXT WEEK:

Shower chances will return as we get going into next week. Chances will start on Monday and increase in percentage on Tuesday and Wednesday. There appears to be a possible system brewing up in The Gulf that may drift to the north and bring some rain our way. There is also a cold front coming in on Wednesday that may also spark up some rain and storm activity. The showers chances will clear out by Thursday as the front moves out. Highs will start the week in the low 80s but could fall to the upper 70s but the end of the work week. Morning lows will start the week in the mid 60s but could fall into the low 50s behind the front later in the week. The winds will have an easterly component to them most of the week. Plenty of clouds will hang around from Monday through Wednesday but clearer skies will return on Thursday and Friday.
