It's gonna be hot in Memphis today, hitting around 87 degrees Fahrenheit, says the National Weather Service. Those lookin' for a breeze to beat the heat will find little relief, as winds are expected to mosey in at just around 5 mph from the northwest by the afternoon. Tonight, the sky's gonna toss a few clouds into the mix, with temps taking a milder turn to around 65.
Heading into Wednesday, the NWS is playing fortune teller with a 20 percent chance of rain showers on the cards and a possible cameo from some afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures are expected to chill out a bit, with a high near 81, making it seem almost like the sun's taking a half-day. Nighttime is going to keep with the theme, turning mostly cloudy and hovering at a low of around 63.
The latter part of the workweek continues the theme of celestial indecision; Thursday should mostly shine bright with a high brushing up near 80, but Thursday night starts clouding up the show again, tucking us in with lows around 64. Friday's forecast dials back up the drama, with the NWS hinting at a 30 percent chance of rain and thunder rumbles, especially after lunchtime. The mercury is expected to climb to a comfy 83, but don't let that fool you—storms could still crash the party.
Stormy weekend ahead, especially on Saturday. Showers are more than a maybe, with a 60 percent likelihood, and there could be thunder booms mixed in just for kicks. The high's pegged at a steady 82, while the night drops to 68 and keeps that 40 percent storm chance alive. Sunday's not veering far off script, sporting a 40 percent storm chance and an 84-degree high. Come Sunday night, we're down to a 30 percent chance of showers with the low rumbling in at 70.
Monday wraps up this roller coaster ride with yet another 40 percent shot of storms and a cheeky high flirting with 86 degrees. Keep an eye on the skies, or rather, check out the full forecast from the National Weather Service to plan your week in Memphis, because it's clear—Mother Nature's not settling into any sort of groove just yet.
