WBBJ 7 Forecast Update
WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:
We have been above average the last 14 days in Jackson and a cold front is going to come blasting through tonight bringing an end to that. Below average temperatures are forecast for the next 7 days starting on Wednesday. Highs will in general be in the 40s and morning lows will fall into the mid 20s several days during the stretch. Rain will be coming back this weekend and even a chance for a wintry mix is coming next week. We will have the latest coming up here.
THIS WEEK:
After a dry weekend, rain showers returned on Monday afternoon and stuck around into the first half of the day on Tuesday. Drier weather will move in Tuesday night behind a cold front that will drop temperatures sharply into the day on Wednesday and will stick around into the start of next week. We saw a widespread quarter to a half of inch of rain with some people picking up as much as an inch. The winds were nasty Monday night out of southwest but weakened during the day coming out of the west on Tuesday. Highs on Tuesday reached the upper 60s and the clouds will break up late in the day into tonight.
The cold front will pass late in the day on Tuesday and will bring a change in the wind direction and a cold blast dropping temperatures to the low 40s Tuesday night and highs only in the low 50s on Wednesday. Expect a mostly sunny day on Wednesday and a light breeze out of the northwest. Temperatures will remain chilly on Thanksgiving with highs again only reaching around 50°. We will start our Thanksgiving around the freezing mark of 32° but will fall all the way down to the mid 20s to start our Black Friday morning.
The winds will stay out of the north before turning up calm to start our Black Friday. Highs on Friday will reach up to around 50° and it will be cold from any early day shopping adventures you go on. We will continue to see mostly sunny skies on Friday, just like on Thanksgiving. The winds will shift to the southeast Friday night and into the upcoming weekend, but temperatures are still not going to warm up much. Friday night lows will fall down to the mid 30s remaining cool.
THE WEEKEND:
More rain showers and maybe a few storms will try to move back in this weekend. At this time, rain is looking likely on Saturday but should move out sometime during the day on Sunday. We are not sure how long the rain will be lasting into Sunday at this time but we should be able to figure that out sooner than later this week. Clouds and showers will keep the temperatures down on Saturday with highs only reaching the low 50s. The cooler weather will likely keep any severe storm chances down from the weekend system. Saturday night lows will fall down to around 40° but highs will only reach the low to mid 50s again on Sunday. The winds on Saturday will come out of the southeast but turn to the northeast on Sunday as the cold front will pass during the middle of the weekend. More showers and storm chances are expected early next week as well.
