The National Weather Service in Memphis has issued a detailed forecast that suggests a series of slightly wet and partially sunny days ahead for the region. With an updated weather outlook, residents should expect a mix of showers, thunderstorms, and calm stretches of cloudy skies.
Overnight predictions have put a 20 percent chance of showers on the table, with the rest today looking only marginally brighter. It's a slight chance of showers before 1 p.m. and a possible thunderstorm sandwiched between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., then the clouds could part giving way to a high near 78 degrees. The wind will remain a subtle companion from the north at around 5 mph.
However, this night, stars might peek through as the forecast calls for mostly clear skies and a comfortable low around 61 degrees. A light North northeast wind will be barely noticeable. Tomorrow, keep an eye out for a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms post 1 p.m., though the majority of the day should be mostly sunny with highs flirting with the 78-degree mark once more.
Nevertheless, those planning for outdoor activities tomorrow night may want to reconsider. A 60 percent chance of precipitation could bring showers and even a potential thunderstorm after dark. Accumulated rainfall might range between a quarter to a half-inch. Friday, the skies growl with a 70 percent chance of rain and possible thunderstorms throughout the day. Gusty winds from the west northwest up to 25 mph could make high of 69 degrees.
The weekend doesn't promise a relief from the rain. Saturday's forecast hints at a 40 percent chance of showers with mostly cloudy conditions hovering around a high near 72 degrees. As the workweek approaches, the possibility of rainfall lingers with a 30 percent chance Sunday and tapers off to a 20 percent chance by Monday. Those looking for sunshine can hold hope for Tuesday when the skies are predicted to clear up with a high near 79.
