The system will finally clear out Tuesday afternoon and we should be mild and dry for Wednesday and all day Thursday.

    WBBJ 7 Forecast Update WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:A low pressure system to the south has kept the clouds around most of the day in Jackson but they will try to clear out some this evening. We are expecting a dry day for most of our Saturday with a mix of sun and clouds. Some spotty showers will try to move back in late Saturday and linger around into our Mother’s Day. Rain looks likely to kick off next week but there is also a shot to get up to around 90° next week as well.

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. Please be cautious if you are going out boating, fishing or live next to the river. We could see a few showers tomorrow but most of us will be dry. #TNwx https://t.co/NiPxS828F8
