Memphis braces for a mix of sunshine and potential storms over the next week, according to the National Weather Service. Data indicates a partly sunny day today with breezy conditions, winds gusting as high as 25 mph, and a high near 82 degrees. While temperatures hover around 67 degrees tonight, there's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1 am. For those who had hoped clear skies would persist, the coming days may present a different story.
While the forecast offers a glimpse of sun this Saturday, it comes with the caveat of a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Gusts might reach up to 30 mph, adding a bit of chaos to the hopeful calm. However, the clouds are expected to recede by Saturday night, leaving behind mostly clear skies and a low of around 66 degrees. The weather seems to be playing a game of back-and-forth, not quite ready to relinquish the unpredictability of spring.
Sunday's forecast remains mostly sunny with steady winds, but as night falls, the chance of rain and thunderstorms climbs to 40 percent. This pattern appears to persist into the early week, with Monday showcasing an 80 percent chance of rain showers and possible thunderstorms amidst temperatures peaking at 73 degrees. The showers and storms are likely to continue Monday night, albeit with a lesser chance of 40 percent.
The week proceeds with Tuesday offering a subdued 30 percent chance for more thunderstorms. But those looking for a prolonged respite should brace themselves, as the forecast from the National Weather Service suggests a return to a mostly sunny disposition with highs reaching near 82 degrees by Wednesday. Even as the nights bring lower probabilities of rain, the possibility of thunderstorms haunts the fringes of each day's expectations.
As the week ends, Memphis residents can anticipate similar weather patterns. Thursday's forecast remains consistent with the previous days, displaying a blend of sun and clouds with a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms, while the high hovers around 81 degrees. It's a tale of sunshine interspersed with rain.
