Even Colder Monday Night, Warm Up Coming Soon this Week!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
After falling down to 27-28° for most of us last night, we are going to be even colder than that tonight. The skies are expected to clear out and the winds are forecast to became calm and that will allow temperatures to drop into the low to mid 20s tonight. I cannot ruled out an 19-20° but the target range for most of us tonight will be 23-24°. We will begin to warm up some on Veteran’s Day back into the mid 50s but we should be back into the 70s by the back half of the work week. The next system is coming back this weekend and another will pass early next week and we will tell you all about them coming up right here.
THIS WEEK:
Most of us struggled to even hit 40° on Monday and it felt even cooler all day due to that stiff northwest breeze. The winds will weaken tonight after 10pm and turn up calm overnight. As the winds turn up calm and the skies clear out, we will bottom out tonight from the current cold spell. We should stay out of the teens but everyone will drop into the low to mid 20s to kick off our Tuesday. After a cold start to our Veteran’s day, we will warm up into the mid 50s by the afternoon.
The reason we will be warming up on Tuesday is the cold front that passed by will be pushed back up to the north and high pressure will build in over East Texas. This will bring back southwest winds that will mix in some warmer and more humid air with it. The winds will be a tad breezy between 10-15 mph out of the southwest. Skies will be mostly clear and Tuesday night lows will only drop to the low 40s due to a light southwest breeze hanging around all night long.
Westerly winds will hang around during the day on Wednesday and that will continue to warm things up across the Mid South. Highs on Wednesday will reach the mid to upper 60s, back up above normal for the month of November. Skies will be sunny on Wednesday as an area of high pressure will continue to control our weather in West Tennessee. Wednesday night lows will fall down to the upper 30s due to calm winds being likely to start our Thursday. Thursday will be another mostly sunny day and will be really nice with calm winds expected as the area of high pressure will be sitting on top of us. Highs will reach up to around 70° and Thursday night lows will fall down to around 50° as a southwest breeze will return Thursday night into Friday morning.
Friday is going to be a very warm day with highs reaching the mid 70s. The winds will be a bit breezy and come out of the southwest. We should still see mostly sunny skies but some clouds may try to move back in Friday night into the upcoming weekend. The humidity will climb some during the day as well and that will keep overnight lows in the mid 50s as we head into the upcoming weekend.
THE WEEKEND:
The weekend weather looks decent but there will be a front passing sometime late Saturday or early Sunday morning. The front looks pretty weak and a mostly dry front although we cannot rule out a couple showers late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The winds will come out of the southwest on Saturday but turn to the northwest as the front passes and into the day on Sunday. Highs will reach the mid 70s on Saturday and still reach around 70° on Sunday. Saturday night lows will fall down to the upper 50s but we will fall to the mid 40s on Sunday night. Expect a mix of sun and clouds this weekend. There will be better chances for rain early next week as a low pressure system looks on track to move through. Some storms could be returning early next week as well.
