Memphis braces for unsettled weather conditions as the National Weather Service predicts a cocktail of partial sunshine, clouds, intermittent showers, and thunderstorms starting today. According to the National Weather Service, there's a 40 percent chance of rain later in the day, with a calm wind transitioning to a northwest breeze around 5 mph. Temperatures are expected to flirt with a high of 87 degrees, while the humidity stands oppressive, currently at 84 percent.
The pattern of uncertainty continues into the night with an equal chance of showers and thunderstorms, particularly after the early morning hours. Patchy fog is also expected to develop after 4 a.m., as the mercury dips to a low around 72 degrees—this tangled dance of elements ushers in a blanket of mostly cloudy skies. Today's forecast hasn't come without particularities; as is often characteristic of such mercurial atmospheric behavior, residents should remain prepared for sudden weather changes.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, there's a notable uptick in precipitation probability, with the chance of precipitation at 60 percent. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm are more likely after sunrise, accompanied by patchy fog that will clear as the day progresses, said the National Weather Service. As the week unfolds, Memphians can expect a consistent narrative of potential rainfall with percentages playing between 20 to 50 percent chance of rain from Tuesday night through to the weekend, occasionally punctuated by light south southwestern winds.
The back-and-forth of meteors leaves a week benchmarked by question marks of weather, a medley of cloudy skies and bursts of sunshine—the occasional thunderstorm a sharp clap interrupting this steady rhythm, as temperatures seem to settle into the mid-80s during the day and hover around the 70-degree mark at night.
