Warm and dry again Thursday with storms ahead this weekend

4 weeks ago | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

Thursday should be mostly sunny with temperatures in the upper-70s. The next several days are expected to be calm and pleasant, with warmer temperatures overall. Our weather forecast will change this weekend. We anticipate some passing areas of low pressure and a few fronts moving through our area, bringing a good chance of intermittent showers and thunderstorms. Some of these thunderstorms could be strong.
Sunny and warm weather dominate the workweek before more weekend storms

1 month ago | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

Beautiful weather will dominate most of the next week as northwest flow aloft keeps us dry, but by the weekend some storm chances return. We should be in the upper-40s and lower-50s for lows each day with highs reaching into the 70s under mostly clear skies. However, we do have increasing chances for rain by the weekend, with showers and thunderstorms possible on Saturday and Sunday. Some of Sunday's storms could potentially be strong to severe.
Spotty rain chances increase into Saturday

1 month ago | wtva.com | Chelsea Simmons |Matt Laubhan

Our Saturday and Saturday night forecast includes a higher chance of showers and even some thunderstorms. This is due to a low-pressure system and a cold front gradually moving into our area. On Sunday, we may still see a few lingering showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm. As we move into next week, high pressure will move in, clearing our skies and keeping us mostly dry for the first part of the week.
Rainy and stormy Tuesday with multiple severe weather threats are ahead

A soggy Tuesday is likely as heavy rain and thunderstorms return to the forecast. Over the next week, the pattern remains extremely active and we are looking at at least two severe weather chances. Tuesday will start around the 50° point with high temperature struggling to make it through the low 50s. I think a few locations could get a little warmer than that, especially around the Golden Triangle if we can see some additional sunshine before showers move in.
Warmer Saturday as a front brings rain late in the evening

2 months ago | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

All week long we have been hopping from one side of a cold front to the other, as a stalled front slides north and south, but Saturday that front shoots northward and we all warm up with some locations approaching 80°. Saturday starts with temperatures around the 60° point and highs reaching into the upper 70s by afternoon. Most of the day will remain mostly cloudy with a non-zero rain chance, but those chances definitely pick up a lot more by evening as our next more powerful cold front arrives.
We are cold and clear for the start of the week

Jan 21, 2025 | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

Dangerous cold continues to hold on across North Mississippi with the coldest air still ahead. Clouds move in overnight. Temperatures will still drop to the teens for the start of the day tomorrow. Clouds stick around the area; we may see some mostly light snow showers across our area. Most of this chances is in our southern counties and south of our area. In our area most likely a dusting of snowfall will be the rule.

Cool and clear for the Egg Bowl and Black Friday

Nov 28, 2024 | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

Cool and dry air continues to filter in and will allow temperatures down to around the freezing point for early Friday morning with more seasonably cool days ahead. Black Friday starts near freezing with wind chills in the 20s to begin the day. Friday's highs will struggle to make it into the upper 40s and will feel cooler than that even into the afternoon, despite clearing skies.
Overnight storms ahead of a cloudy Thanksgiving

Nov 27, 2024 | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

Overnight storms exit as we progress into Thanksgiving day leaving us cloudy, dry, and cool. A cold front moving in from Arkansas will produce isolated showers and thunderstorms overnight and into the first part of Thanksgiving day. I expect these will be out of here prior to sunrise, meaning your Thanksgiving day will be dry. Breezy Northwest winds will make sure it remains cool with high temperatures reaching only the lower 50s and wind chills cooler than that much of the day.
Warm and mainly dry Monday before rain chances briefly return

Nov 17, 2024 | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

Mostly cloudy skies dominate Monday, but the rainfall chances should hold off until late evening, leaving us more than 10° warmer than we typically should be for this time of the year. Monday morning will start off with a mix of low clouds and perhaps a few patches of fog, and temperatures in the mid-50s. High temperatures should reach the mid-70s under partly mostly cloudy skies. While we should stay dry through sunset, by late evening, rain chances should start to increase.
