Mid-South Weather Update: Rain and Colder Temperatures Expected Mid-Week

Hello, friends in the Mid-South! It looks like we’re in for a bit of a wild ride with the weather this week. After a brief break from the rain, another weather system is moving through our region, and it’s going to be quite a change as we head towards mid-week.

What’s Coming Up?

Now, don’t be surprised if you notice those temperatures creeping up a bit over the next couple of days. Early on Wednesday, we can expect the thermometer to rise to the upper 40s to lower 50s. For those living south of Memphis, get ready to enjoy the middle to upper 50s! However, don’t get too cozy just yet, because rain is on the way.

The rain is likely to make its appearance during your morning commute, and it may stick around for a while. We’re looking at a chance of up to 1 inch of rain as the day rolls on. If you’re heading out, remember to grab that umbrella – you’ll need it! Rain chances are expected to taper off by early evening, but buckle up because the temperatures will drop significantly by then, coming down to near freezing.

Brace for a Brisk Thursday

Thursday morning is going to start on the chilly side, with brisk north winds giving us that wintery feel. The highs for the day are predicted to be in the upper 30s and lower 40s.

It looks like we’ll be dealing with a little chill in the air.

A Mild Friday is on the Horizon

The weekend is just around the corner, and Friday promises to bring a welcome change in the form of milder temperatures. Get ready as the forecast projects us hopping back up to the lower 50s. A perfect day to head outdoors and shake off that winter chill!
