NEXT WEEK:

After this weekend, some drier and sunnier conditions are expected with a high pressure moving into West Tennessee. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies are expected all week long with highs in the 90’s. Humidity could bring heat index values to the triple digits once again. Southerly flow could bring a few afternoon thunderstorms later into the week but as of right now, the chance looks very slim until Thursday.

TROPICS UPDATE:

Tropical system Fred made its way on shore earlier this week. However, tropical storm Grace formed right behind it. It kept more of an westerly track and is expected to make landfall in Mexico before the weekend. We also have tropical storm Henri forming in the Atlantic. It should be making landfall next week towards the New England area.
