Mid to Upper 70s Coming, Front Saturday Night & Storm Chances Back Next Week!
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
Some clouds have moved on in today but we are not expecting any showers to accompany the clouds. Mostly sunny skies will return on Friday and the weather looks like it will be great for Friday Night Football. Warm and nice weather will continue as we start the weekend but a cold front is coming through Saturday night that will not bring much in the rain department, but will cool things down some a bit on Sunday. Storms are expected to return to the Mid South in the middle of next week and we will have the latest coming up here.
THIS WEEK:
Westerly winds hung around during the day on Wednesday and that continued to warm things up across the Mid South. Highs on Wednesday reached the mid to upper 60s, back up above normal for the month of November. Skies were sunny on Wednesday as an area of high pressure moved in and continued to control our weather in West Tennessee. Wednesday night lows fell down to the upper 30s due to calm winds overnight into Thursday morning. Thursday was a partly cloudy day and was again really nice with calm winds as the area of high pressure was sitting on top of us. Highs reached 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.
NEXT WEEK:
Rain chances will return on Monday next week and be sticking around each day during the work week. Storm chances will also be increasing into the middle of the week as a severe storm setup will return to the Mid South. The timing and severity of the event has yet to be determined as well as who in our area will most likely be impacted. Highs next week will linger around 70° with morning lows sticking around into the mid 50s for the most part. The winds will have a southerly component to them during the work week and expect a mix of sun and clouds as well. We will keep a close eye on the potential for severe weather as the week goes on in the 7 Storm Team Weather Center.
