The National Weather Service in Memphis has forecasted a damp start to the week with drizzle and fog across the area, currently experiencing 52°F temperatures, high humidity levels at 97%, and limited visibility of five miles. According to the latest update from regional meteorologists, the city is poised for a slight chance of showers and predominant cloud cover tonight, with a predicted low of 51°F.
As we head into Tuesday, the chance of early morning showers diminishes to 20 percent before the clouds give way to mostly sunny skies and a modest high near 53°F. However, outdoor enthusiasts might feel a wind chill closer to 49°F due to the prevailing north winds, which are expected to persist through the evening as cloudiness wanes and gives way to clearer skies and a sharper drop in temperature around 33°F. The trend toward sunnier days seems to solidify by midweek, with the National Weather Service predicting a sunny Wednesday with highs topping out at 48°F and nighttime lows dipping further to a brisk 28°F under clear skies.
The latter half of the week continues the pattern of mostly sunny conditions, as Thursday shows forecasted highs around the 48°F mark, with early calm winds shifting from the south by morning. Thursday night's conditions are expected to change, with the weather taking a turn towards partial cloud coverage and lows settling at 38°F. The National Weather Service update notes that this will prepare residents for a warmer Friday that could reach 55°F despite partly sunny skies.
The chance of showers makes a comeback for the weekend, starting Friday night, where there is a 60 percent likelihood of precipitation after midnight following cloudy conditions. This pattern of unsettled weather brings a 70 percent chance of showers on Saturday, primarily before noon. However, temperatures should remain steady, with highs anticipated near 56°F over the weekend despite the mixed rain and cloudiness. A modest chance for showers lingers into early next week, with predictions of partly cloudy nights and mostly sunny days that consistently forecast highs near the 56°F range.
