Memphis Weather Update: A Rainy Halloween Ahead!
Hey there, Memphis! As we approach Halloween, thereโs a little bit of a spooky forecast creeping in. With clouds looming and a chance of rain, it looks like weโll need our umbrellas ready for the upcoming tricks and treats.
The Halloween Forecast
As we kick off Halloween on Thursday, get ready for a mild and breezy day! Temperatures are expected to hover around a comfortable 75ยฐF in the afternoon, making it perfect for some fall festivities. However, donโt let the warmth fool you because thereโs a hefty 90% chance of rain looming overhead.
The rain is expected to roll in by mid to late morning and could continue into the afternoon and evening. That means trick-or-treating in your neighborhood might come with a side of drizzle. Prepare yourself for occasional rain showers during those prime candy-collecting hours! If youโre hitting the streets for treats, consider bringing an umbrella to stay dry.
Windy Conditions
Along with the rain, weโre also looking at some winds gusting at around 15 mph. Keep that in mind if youโre planning on wearing any spooky costumes that might be affected by the breeze! It’s best to plan for practical outfits, at least for tonight.
Weather Beyond Halloween
Now, if youโre wondering whatโs in store after Halloween, weโve got some interesting shifts coming our way. On Friday, weโll see temperatures dipping just slightly to the upper 60s, but donโt worryโthings are looking up into the weekend! Expect temperatures to rebound to the upper 70s and maybe even reach near 80ยฐF through the early part of next week.
While Saturday could also bring some isolated showers, it looks like weโll be in for some warmer weather with plenty of sunshine making an appearance. So keep those Halloween costumes safe until the weekend, and maybe try a sun-themed costume for the upcoming days!
Stay Alert
As a note of caution, the forecast does include a Level 1 out of 5 threat for heavy rain and gusty winds starting late Thursday morning through the afternoon. Pay attention to local updates and always best to prepare for the unexpected when it comes to weather changes.
Final Thoughts
So there you have it, Memphis! It seems Halloween might keep us on our toes. Whether you’re planning to stay cozy at home or venture out with the kids, donโt forget to grab that umbrella and maybe even a light jacket.
Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween, rain or shine! And keep your fingers crossed for clearer skies as we move into the weekend. Happy haunting!
