Memphis Weather Update: What to Expect This Sunday, January 5
Hey Memphis! Grab your umbrellas and get ready for some wet weather, but fear not, because we’ve got some great news for you. This Sunday, January 5, it looks like the city and the Mid-South region are not going to see any winter storms, despite earlier chatter about potential icy conditions. So, if you were worried about a snowy Sunday, you can relax and make your plans without the worry of slippery roads!
What Changed in the Forecast?
Initially, meteorologists were predicting a bit of a wintry mix that could sneak into our area. However, the latest updates show that this winter weather is going to stay further to the north. Yes, that means we donโt have to worry about the messy stuff thatโs been causing quite a stir on social media. We’ve all seen those wild weather predictions popping up online, and they can sometimes be pretty exaggerated.
The Storm Systems in Play
Here’s what’s happening: a storm system is expected to develop in Oklahoma on Saturday and then make its way eastward. This means heavy rain and even a chance of thunderstorms are headed right for us in Memphis. But don’t fret – those warmer temperatures are tagging along! Weโre looking at highs in the 50s on Sunday, and the rain should settle in throughout the day, tapering off in the evening. Just make sure to keep that rain jacket handy!
What About the Rest of January?
As the rain comes to an end, colder air is set to swoop in, bringing Monday’s temperatures down to a chilly 30s range. And get this โ there’s a slight chance we might see a flurry! But donโt expect anything like a winter wonderland; the action appears to be primarily happening to our north. Regions like Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky are bracing for a few inches of snow and ice, while weโll just have to settle for a bit of cold.
It looks like this trend of cooler temperatures might stick around for a while, so if you’re dreaming of a warm January, you may need to hold off a bit. Once the rain clears, the average temperatures are likely to stay below what we usually expect for this time of year. Despite the chill, NOAA (thatโs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in case you were wondering) is forecasting a warmer-than-average winter overall for West Tennessee, thanks to those La Niรฑa conditions. The winter outlook predicts a higher chance of above-average temperatures through February, but precipitation is a bit of a question mark.
Looking Ahead
For those of you keeping track of weather patterns over the years, Dealing with La Niรฑa can be a mixed bag. The past decade has shown us that winters can swing from mild to quite unpredictable. So, while weโre enjoying this warmer-than-usual spell, it’s good to remember that anything can happen in the weather department. Keep an eye out, as there may be chances for snow in mid-January, but as of now, the forecast isnโt showing any significant winter weather for Memphis.

Weather can change on a dime, and forecasts will continue to evolve. So, make sure you stay updated on the latest conditions.
