Near Freezing Tonight, Wet Valentine’s Day on the Way for West TN!

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Behind last night’s cold front, highs only hit the mid to upper 50s today and as of 9pm, we are 20° cooler than we were last night. Even behind the front though, we were above average today. Temperatures could stay above average for at least the next 10 days and possibly for the remainder of the month. The next shot for rain is coming Friday night as a warm front is going to lift through the region. On Saturday (Valentine’s Day), rain showers will be falling most of the day and although the severe weather threat looks low at this time, a few storms cannot be ruled out. Catch the latest and full forecast details coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

It was a nice and sunny day, but a dry one behind Tuesday night’s cold front in our area. Highs still reached the mid 50s on Wednesday and we will fall close to freezing again by Thursday morning. The winds will be light and come out of the north allowing temperatures to get close to the dew points that will be sitting in the low 30s tonight. The north winds on Wednesday will shift to the east on Thursday and that will help keep the temperatures down a bit with highs making it up to the upper 50s on Thursday. Expect another mostly sunny day and night for Thursday.

Friday night lows will start out around 40° as some clouds are forecast to move in Thursday night. There could be a stalled up front developing later in the day that could produce a few showers, but rain chances are currently only 20-30% for Friday. Friday highs will reach the low 60s and Friday night lows will  dip to the low to mid 40s to start the weekend. The winds on Friday will slowly shift to the southeast by Friday allowing the humidity to climb some just in time for the weekend.

THIS WEEKEND:
There is a decent shot for some storm activity this Valentine’s Day weekend in the Mid South and maybe here in West Tennessee. As of now, the bigger threat for severe weather looks to be just south of the Tennessee border but if the position of that low shifts even a little bit to the north, it may become a bigger problem for us and we need to watch it closely this week as the system develops and gets closer to our area.

Highs on Saturday will make it up to around 60° and possibly the mid 60s depending on where the warm sector sets up from the weekend’s area of low pressure. The winds will come out of the south or southeast on Saturday but will move back to the northwest on Sunday as the system clears out. Expect a mostly cloudy weekend with only a few peaks of sunshine on Saturday and even lower chances for sunshine on Sunday. Saturday night lows will fall down to the mid to upper 40s again, depending on that warm sector associated with the incoming system. Sunday will be a little cooler with highs in the mid 50s.
