WEDNESDAY:

Storms will linger into the early morning hours and some isolated lighter showers and storms will linger from the mid morning to around the noon time frame. The clouds will clear out into the afternoon and we should see plenty of sunshine before sunset. The high temperature is likely to occur around midnight and will be in the mid to upper 50s but the temperature will continue to drop into the morning and stay in the 40s for the majority of the day. Wednesday night we could drop below freezing and the entire region will drop into the 30s, possibly even a few upper 20s the further north you are located in West Tennessee.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY:

Both mornings are expected to be cold with potential temperatures below freezing. Upper 20s and low to mid 30s are expected across the entire region. Morning frost can also be expected both mornings as well so if you have any plants outside or sensitive vegetation do whatever you can to protect them from the upcoming potential freeze heading our way. Highs on Thursday will make it only up to around 50° and Friday highs will climb up to around 60°. Winds will come out of the north on Thursday and east on Friday. Expect sunny skies but it will be brisk in the morning hours.

THE WEEKEND:

Much nicer weather will move in for the weekend with highs reaching the mid to upper 60s for both days. Some low 70s could show up in a few places on Sunday, but a much better chance for the 70s returning will be next Monday. Saturday morning we are likely to dip into the upper 30s and low 40s are expected Sunday morning. We are still likely to see an abundance of sunshine this weekend as well but we will also see a few more clouds then on Thursday and Friday.

FINAL THOUGHT:

We are now officially in Spring and starting to get closer to our peak severe weather season. So you need to stay weather aware to changing weather patterns and monitor the forecasts closely. We got you covered in the WBBJ 7 Storm Team Weather Center as always.
