So grab your friends, get outside, and soak it all in because winter is taking a temporary backseat!
Current Weather Conditions
As of this morning, the skies are mostly cloudy but don’t let that fool you. By the afternoon, the clouds will begin to clear up a bit, setting the scene for a pleasant day ahead. Today’s high is expected to reach a lovely 67°F. That’s right, it feels more like spring than winter! With winds blowing gently from the south at around 5 to 10 mph, it’s the perfect weather to enjoy some time outdoors.
As night rolls in, temperatures are expected to dip to a comfortable low of 50°F. There’s a 40% chance of some light rain, but the remaining hours of the weekend should be dry. It might be a good idea to have that umbrella handy just in case, but a cozy evening is more likely!
The Weekend Forecast
This weekend, each day will bring its own charm. Saturday will feature partly cloudy skies, with temperatures hovering around 55°F. It’ll be calm and cozy, making it a great opportunity for a walk or maybe even tackling that yard work you’ve been putting off.
Then on Sunday, get ready for a treat as the sunshine shines bright with a high temperature of 68°F. That might just be the excuse you need to fire up the grill! With south-southwest winds blowing at approximately 10 to 15 mph, it’ll feel nice and comfortable in the backyard. As the sun sets, temperatures will slide to around 51°F, so it might be a great night for a bonfire!
Looking Ahead: A Warm Week!
After a splendid weekend, we’ve got some more warm weather on the horizon. Monday will continue this trend, climbing up to a near peak of 71°F. You’ll want to keep that sunglasses handy, as sunny conditions are expected to persist throughout the day. It’s a perfect lead-in for the rest of the week!
Now, midweek is where the weather may play a bit of a game with us. The forecast suggests partly cloudy skies turning to mostly cloudy by Wednesday, with a slightly elevated 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms. The temperature might peak around 72°F, so even with rain in the forecast, it won’t feel overly chill. Just keep an eye on the sky!
Wrapping It Up
In summary, the upcoming weather promises a taste of warmth that we haven’t felt in a while. Enjoy the sunny weekend ahead with highs in the sixties and seventies, spend time with family and friends, and don’t forget to enjoy the little things, like catching some rays or watching the sunset. Just be prepared for the possibility of a little rain midweek. Weather whiplash is what they call it, right? But hey, that’s just how the cookie crumbles in Memphis!
So here’s to a beautiful weekend. Get outside, enjoy the sun, and remember, spring isn’t too far behind!
