Memphis is gearing up for a mixture of clear skies and potential storms in the coming week, according to the latest weather forecast. On the heels of a sunny day with highs expected to reach 73 degrees, residents should anticipate a shift as the week progresses, suggests the National Weather Service in Memphis. Winds from the south-southwest are set to pick up, ranging from 10 to 15 mph today.

As reported, nighttime will bring mostly cloudy conditions, which will eventually clear up, setting the stage for a balmy Saturday with temperatures hovering around 76 degrees. Wind gusts could ramp up to 25 mph, blowing through the city with untamed vigor, as if chasing the clouds away themselves. This pattern of sunny days and partly cloudy nights will continue through Sunday, with the mercury creeping up to a near 77 degrees.

The forecast, found on the National Weather Service website, indicates a climb in temperature with a high of 78 degrees set for Monday. However, this warmth arrives with the caveat of breezy conditions—winds are anticipated to be strong, with gusts potentially reaching 30 mph.

Weather patterns are expected to take a turn by Monday night, as showers and possibly a thunderstorm enter the picture, shaking up the start of the week. The chance of precipitation amounts to 70%, carried on the back of persistent, gusty winds. These showers may linger into Tuesday, sprinkling the city with a 50% chance of rain and thunderstorms amidst partly sunny skies.

As the week progresses, the tumultuous weather will seemingly taper off, according to the National Weather Service. A 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms is forecast for Tuesday night, but by Wednesday, clear skies return with daytime highs dropping to a cooler 60 degrees. The remainder of the week indicates a pattern of sunny days and mostly clear nights, possibly providing residents a respite from the earlier inclement weather.
