Today’s Weather Forecast
Today, weโre in for a treat with a forecast calling for partly sunny skies. Expect to see some warm temperatures reaching around 76ยฐF. Remember, a light breeze will be blowing in from the west-southwest at about 5 to 10 mph, which should keep things feeling comfortable. Just a heads up, thereโs just a 20% chance of rain, so while you probably donโt need your umbrella, it might not hurt to have it handy if youโre headed out and about.

This project is crucial for improving the northern part of the boulevard, making it safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
The timeline for the construction to kick back into gear is still in the works, and weโll be sure to keep you all updated as more details come in. The excitement in the community is palpable, and we canโt wait to see how these improvements unfold!
Memphis Safety Updates
On a more serious note, we want to share some safety updates. Over the weekend, we learned that a woman tragically lost her life and a man suffered injuries in a crash in Midtown. Such incidents are always heartbreaking, and it serves as a reminder to drive safely and stay vigilant.
Additionally, there was a shooting in South Memphis that left one person with serious injuries. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by violence in our neighborhoods, and itโs a poignant reminder that we should lean on each other as a community.
Federal Disaster Assistance and Legal Matters
In light of recent events, FEMA has announced that federal disaster assistance will be available for those impacted by Tropical Storm Helene. This storm has caused a lot of disruption, leaving many without shelter or power, and the news comes as a relief to those affected. Letโs hope for a swift recovery for everyone.
On another front, we learned that a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging the state law regarding bathroom use for transgender individuals in schools. It’s an ongoing and sensitive topic that many are closely following across our state.
