WBBJ 7 Forecast Update WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:It has been a wonderful Tuesday so far across West Tennessee and we are looking at very similar weather for Wednesday. There could be a shower or two southeast of Madison county on Wednesday but most of us will miss out. There will be a few more pop up showers and storms on Thursday but Friday looks to be our best chance to get wet this week in our area.

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:The showers and storms from early this morning have cleared out and we are expecting a couple of mostly dry days here in West Tennessee to kick off the work week. Highs in general will be near 80° this week with lows typically around 60°. Rain showers and storm chances increase as we head toward the back half of the work week and some will linger into the weekend. Are we expecting severe weather though?

The storms are not expected to move into our area until 10pm-midnight at the earliest and through Jackson between 3am-5am Monday. There could be some storms lingering around Monday morning around the commute time though.

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:It has been a breezy day but those southerly winds have warmed us up to around 80° today across West Tennessee. The humidity will be increasing as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. Storms will look to stay just to the west of us on Friday and Saturday, but not for Easter. As of now, we are not expecting any storms for most of us until Sunday evening, so any early day plans on Easter should be good to go.

We are 4" above average for the month of May in Jackson. It was been a beautiful day so far in #WestTennessee! Some light showers are falling in Arkansas and that rain still might try to impact a few of us later this evening. Most of us will stay dry until the weekend #TNwx https://t.co/v9H66NDxIU
The Tennessee River in #WestTennessee is in minor flood stage & expected to stay there through the weekend into next week.
