Showers and thunderstorms stick around through at least the end of the week

3 weeks ago | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

While not everyone will see rain everyday, storm chances stick through the remainder of the week and into the weekend, in some cases producing brief flooding. Thursday will begin with more rain for some, potentially slowing down the morning commute, so allow extra travel time. The afternoon will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms once again, with highs in the low 80s. Friday morning may start mostly dry for a few hours.

Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region over the next few days, with isolated areas of heavy rainfall possible as a weak front lingers through the week. High temperatures will remain unseasonably warm, mostly in the 70s and 80s, with occasional highs in the 90s. Overnight lows will stay approximately 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of year. Download WTVA's news, weather and TV apps to receive alerts, watch LIVE newscasts and more.
Warm and dry again Thursday with storms ahead this weekend

1 month 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

2 months 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

Feb 10, 2025 | wtva.com | Matt Laubhan

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

Feb 7, 2025 | 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.

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.
