Memphis Weather Update: Get Ready for a Rainy Election Day!
Hey there, Memphis! If you’re planning to head out for some democratic duties tomorrow, you might want to grab an umbrella and maybe some galoshes! This November, the weather is turning a bit sour just in time for one of the biggest days of the year—Election Day! It looks like we’ll be experiencing a bit of everything, especially if you’re not fond of getting a little wet.
Tonight’s Conditions
Tonight is setting up to be cloudy and mild, with temperatures dipping into the mid to upper 60s. The winds will be coming from the south at about 10 to 20 mph, and you might even feel gusts reaching up to 30 mph. So, if you’re thinking about a nice evening walk, it might feel a tad breezy out there. But hey, it’s not too cold, so you should be alright as long as you don’t mind the clouds!
Election Day Forecast
Now, let’s talk about Tuesday—the day we’ve all been waiting for! Honestly, if you thought those sunny fall days were going to last, think again! We’re going to see some showers and thunderstorms rolling into the area, particularly during the midday, afternoon, and evening hours. The high temperature will be in the mid to upper 70s, so we’re not losing all our warmth, just getting a little turbulent weather instead.
The winds will be a bit feisty, blowing in from the south at similar speeds of 10 to 20 mph, with those pesky gusts still pushing around the area at 30 mph. Make sure your raincoat is at the ready—there’s about a 90% chance of rain, creeping down to 70% as night falls. So, be prepared, folks!
What’s Ahead This Week?
So, rain on Election Day means a slippery Tuesday, but what about the rest of the week? Well, Wednesday should offer a breather as we transition to mild and partly sunny to mostly cloudy weather. Don’t put those umbrellas too far away, though, as scattered showers are still a possibility. Expect highs in the low 70s, which isn’t too bad for a November day.
Thursday and Friday show some promise as well, staying in the low 70s with a chance for showers. So, keep that cozy sweater close, but don’t forget your rain gear! Saturday promises to be even more overcast, with mostly cloudy skies and showers predicted. The forecast indicates highs around 75 degrees, so if you can dodge the raindrops, it could still be a decent day.
As we roll into Sunday, expect the cooler temperatures to set in, with highs near 70 degrees and more scattered showers on the horizon. The skies will remain mostly cloudy, so maybe take it easy and enjoy a cozy day inside with a warm drink.
In Summary
So, Memphis, as we gear up for tomorrow’s important day, remember to check the weather before heading out to vote. With a mixture of rain, wind, and a touch of warmth, it’s all about being prepared. Stay safe out there, and don’t let a little rain dampen your spirit! Whether you’re voting or just braving the weather, keep that chin up—you’ve got this!
