Unsettled Weather Ahead: Rain Chances Increase This Week in the Mid-South
Memphis Weather Update
This morning in Memphis, we’re waking up to a pleasant and partly cloudy sky. It’s a lovely start to the day, and you won’t need to grab that jacket before heading out! With temperatures reaching around 80ยฐF in the afternoon, it’s shaping up to be a wonderful day for outdoor activities or a stroll in the park.
Afternoon Forecast
As the day progresses, expect those temperatures to soar! The southeast winds are gently blowing between 5 to 10 mph, adding a slight breeze to the day. However, keep an eye on the sky because there is a 30% chance of rain this afternoon. Most of the rain will develop later in the day, so if youโre making plans, it might be worth bringing an umbrella just in case. The evening might also bring us some clouds and a chance of a stray shower or even a thunderstorm.
Tonight’s Low
Looking ahead to tonight, we’re expecting cozy temperatures to drop to around 65ยฐF. Winds will be light and variable, perfect for a comfortable evening at home or perhaps a late-night walk under the stars.
Rainy Days Ahead
As we move into Thursday and Friday, be prepared for the rain chances to escalate a bit more. If you’re not a fan of getting wet, you might want to keep those indoor activities on standby. Thankfully, the threat of severe weather during these days is relatively low, which is good news for everyone!
The Weekend Outlook
This weekend, rain is expected to be a mixed bag, with chances of showers being hit or miss. Afternoon highs will remain delightful, hovering around 80ยฐF. If you’re planning outdoor gatherings or activities, keep an eye on the forecast and stay flexible โ you might get lucky and dodge the rain!
Looking Ahead to Next Week
As we shift into next week, brace yourselves for even warmer temperatures on the horizon. We’re talking mid to upper 80s, which will feel fantastic after this unsettled weather pattern. So, get ready to enjoy some sunshine and warm days ahead!
Recent Weather Events
It’s important to note that while weโre observing some unsettled weather, we are still recovering from recent severe storms that hit our region earlier this month. Sadly, a violent tornado outbreak caused fatalities and significant damage across the Mid-South. In response, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has requested a Major Disaster Declaration for affected counties. Our thoughts are with those impacted by these devastating events.
Stay Prepared
As always, it’s wise to stay informed and prepared as we navigate this weekโs weather. Whether youโre planning a nightly outing or just want to catch some fresh air during breaks, make sure to check the weather updates regularly. Grab that umbrella when heading out, and letโs keep our fingers crossed for clearer skies!
So whether your plans are rain-or-shine, remember that in the Mid-South, weather can change in an instant. Embrace the unpredictability, and have a great time out there!
