Memphis is bracing for a medley of showers and thunderstorms through the upcoming week, as reported by the National Weather Service. Residents should expect a mix of sun and rain with today likely to see scattered thunderstorms until 11 am, followed by potential showers afterward. The high should be around 90 degrees, but the humidity will make it feel stickier. Winds coming from the west at 5 to 10 mph will offer little relief from the swelter.
The forecasts anticipate to quickly shift later in the evening, offering a 40 percent chance of rain with thunderstorms possible. Temperatures are expected to lower to a mild 72 degrees, easing the daytime heat. Winds will remain light, making for a partly cloudy and tranquil night in the Memphis area. NWS provides these updates as they monitor the developing weather patterns.
Looking ahead to Thursday, there is a slight reprieve with a 20 percent chance of rain and storms, and temperatures are forecast to drop slightly to a high near 86. This cooling trend continues into Friday, with an encouraging forecast of mostly sunny skies and a high of 83 degrees, which should offer a pleasant end to the workweek.
The weekend, however, is not set to fully escape the clutches of potential wet weather. Saturday holds largely sunny skies with a spike in heat to a high near 88 degrees. Yet, the chance of showers is forecast to make a comeback after 1 am, holding Memphis in a pattern that isn't likely to fully clear soon. As the new week approaches, the probability of thunderstorms ramps up once more, reaching a 60 percent likelihood by Monday.
