Memphis Weather Update: Expect a Mixed Bag This Week
Good morning, Memphis! If youโre stepping outside today, make sure to grab your umbrella because we have some isolated showers popping up on the radar. The day is starting off cloudy and comfortable, creating a cozy atmosphere to sip your morning coffee.
The temperatures are forecasted to climb to the upper 70s this afternoon, hovering around a pleasant 78ยฐF. Thatโs pretty nice, right? With a light breeze coming in from the east at about 5 to 10 mph, it should feel just fine as long as you’re prepared for the occasional sprinkle. Just a heads up, the chance of rain is around 20%, which means that while some areas might enjoy a few drops, many of us may stay dry.
Whatโs in Store for the Rest of the Week?
Looking a bit further ahead, it seems that weโll have some rain chances every day this week, but donโt start cancelling your plans just yet! It’s not going to be a total washout. The best chance for widespread rain looks to hit on Friday, so maybe keep an eye on the forecast as the week progresses. If you have any outdoor activities planned, you’ll want to tune in to updates.
Throughout the week, we can expect temperatures to remain comfortably in the 70s, making for some lovely fall-like weather. Letโs savor these beautiful days before we dive fully into the cooler months!
Hurricane Helene on the Move
In other weather news, itโs hard to ignore Hurricane Helene, which is intensifying today and is expected to be a Category 3 hurricane when it makes landfall tomorrow evening in the Big Bend of Florida. Itโs a good reminder of how quickly weather can change and how connected we all are!
Memphis might see some effects from this storm, particularly in the form of rain. Rainfall totals from Helene are predicted to range from 1 to 3 inches, with localized areas possibly receiving even more. So, letโs keep our fingers crossed that we stay safe and dry!
Stay Prepared!
As you head out, itโs wise to stay updated on the weather. Keep an umbrella handy as a precaution, especially if you have plans later today or later in the week. Staying alert helps us all navigate the ups and downs of our beautiful, sometimes unpredictable weather.
This week might be perfect for cozy nights in with a good book or some quality family time. So while those raindrops might fall, donโt let it dampen your spirits. Enjoy the week ahead, and stay safe out there, Memphis!
