Memphians might want to keep their umbrellas close at hand as the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts a mixed bag of conditions for the coming week, with chances of showers and thunderstorms intermittently dotting the seven-day outlook. According to the National Weather Service, the city woke up to overcast skies and a sticky humidity level of 97 percent earlier this morning.

Today promises some respite from the rain with a mere 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 9 am, and as the clouds give way, a warm high of 83 degrees Fahrenheit is anticipated, however, looking further ahead the serenity is short-lived as tonight points towards a 20 percent chance of rain after 4 am with a low temperature of around 70.

Come Tuesday, residents should brace for more unpredictable weather marked by a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, primarily before 1 pm while the thermometers are predicted to climb once more, resting at a high near 84 degrees with gusts that could ruffle feathers as they peak at 25 mph.

Moving through the week, Wednesday ramps up the uncertainty as the bright spots of sunshine get overshadowed by a 40 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms, the day's temperature might push towards 87 degrees, albeit the breezy conditions signal a tumultuous lead into a night where the chance of precipitation skyrockets to 90 percent—the expected rainfall possibly soaking the city with 1 to 2 inches, but despite the forecast's fickle nature, things seem to settle by the weekend with abundant sunshine and highs comfortably sitting in the mid-70s.

To navigate through this meteorological patchwork, citizens should remain attentive to the shifting skies, as the oncoming days mix clear spring warmth with sporadic, gusty reminders that nature, as always, holds the cards in the dance between the sun and the rain.
