Joel Barnes,

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

Rain showers are dropping in from the north this evening and will continue to track to the south later tonight. Rain showers and maybe a few storms will be possible for most of us. The greatest chance for a weak storm will be areas east of Jackson near the Tennessee River. Severe weather is not expected regardless. The rain will clear out by Thursday afternoon and some really nice weather is coming in for Friday and Saturday. Catch the latest and full forecast information coming up here.

THIS WEEK:

Wednesday was a warmer day and the humidity also went up as the day progressed. That will bring in a chance for some showers and maybe a few weak storms as the next system approaches from the northwest this evening and later tonight. Highs reached the low 60s and clouds moved in quickly as the day went on. The winds were a tad breezy as well as come out of the south most of the day. A front will move through late Wednesday night and stall out into Thursday morning. Wednesday night lows will only dip to the low 50s due to the clouds and lingering moisture.

Showers and a few weak storms are expected off and on during the first half of the day on Thursday. Highs will reach the low 60s still but the winds will shift from the south to the northwest early in the day as the front passes. Depending on where the front stalls out will determine the severity of the potential storms to develop in our area. As of now, we are expecting most of the stronger storms and severe weather to stay south of our area on Thursday. If we do get a few stronger storms, they will probably come in early in the day on Thursday and be near the Tennessee River.

The skies will clear out Thursday night allowing temperatures to fall to the mid to upper 30s by Friday morning. Friday is going to be a decent day as Thursday’s system will clear out quickly. We should see plenty of sunshine on Friday with generally calm winds. Highs will make it up close to 60° before falling back down to the upper 30s overnight into Saturday morning.

THIS WEEKEND:

There is a weak front that will look to pass sometime during the weekend but it appears to be a weak and mostly dry front at this time. Overall, the weekend is looking pretty good with highs up near 70° on Saturday and mid to upper 60s on Sunday depending on the timing of the weekend front. The winds will come out of the south on Saturday but shift sometime to the north on Sunday. Expect a sunny start to Saturday with some clouds building in towards the back half of the day. A shower or two cannot be ruled out with the weekend front, but chances are only around 20° from Saturday night through Sunday morning. Weekend lows are forecast to fall somewhere close to 40°. We should be a little cooler to kick off next week with highs only in the mid 50s.
