Beautiful Weather and Cosmic Wonders in Memphis!
Memphis, Tenn. – If you’ve been waiting for a *picture-perfect weekend*, you are in luck! Today’s weather forecast brings us sunny skies with a pleasant high of 75°F. With light southeast winds blowing at just 5 to 10 mph, it’s the ideal setting for outdoor activities. Whether you’re headed to the park, planning a backyard barbecue, or just wanting to enjoy the sunshine, it looks like Mother Nature is on our side!
Perfectly Comfortable Evenings
As the evening rolls in, you can expect a cool drop in temperature, settling at a low of 50°F. So, if you’re planning to be out after sundown, it might be a good idea to grab a light jacket. But don’t fret too much—the winds will remain light and variable, making for a gentle evening breeze that feels just right.
A Celestial Treat for Stargazers
But that’s not all, folks! As the sun sets at 6:20 p.m. CT, keep your eyes peeled for a stunning view of the cosmos. The famed 80,000 Year Comet (known as Comet Tsuchinshan – ATLAS, discovered in 2023) will be making an appearance in the west-southwestern sky. You can catch a glimpse of this spectacular sight about 45 minutes after sunset, so be sure to have your cameras ready. It’s not every day you get to see a comet that’s been traveling for that long, and it’s sure to be a moment worth cherishing!
Launching Into the Weekend with Warmth
As we move further into the weekend, warmer weather is on the horizon! Temperatures are projected to rise into the 70s across the Mid-South, promising a lovely start to your Saturday and Sunday plans. Whether it’s a simple stroll in the neighborhood, or a visit to one of Memphis’s many outdoor attractions, you won’t want to miss the chance to bask in the warmth. Outdoor festivals, family get-togethers, and sporting events will surely be favorites as locals take advantage of the delightful weather. Just make sure to stay hydrated and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!
Upcoming Weather Changes
It’s important to note that while we’re looking at a gorgeous weekend, cooler temperatures are expected to roll back in after this warm spell. With fall firmly settling in, we might see lows approaching freezing in some areas later next week. So, if you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to those delightful warm afternoons, be sure to savor every moment of this lovely weather.
