The National Weather Service in Memphis has provided a detailed forecast for the coming week, casting a rather dreary outlook over the area with multiple bouts of precipitation expected. According to the latest update by the National Weather Service, today's weather will feature a chance of sprinkles and a slight chance of showers before 1 p.m., transitioning to a mostly cloudy afternoon with a high near 44 degrees. The North northeast wind will continue to gust around 10 mph, keeping the chill factor in play.
Tonight's weather is expected to clear up slightly with cloudy skies gradually giving way to partial clarity and a low temperature dipping around 36 degrees. With the North northeast wind maintaining its pace around 10 mph, residents should prepare for a persistent cold draft, despite the break in rainfall. Taking a glimpse into tomorrow, the forecast anticipates a partly sunny day with a high around 48 degrees, as the East northeast wind slows to a 5 to 10 mph breeze.
However, the respite is set to be short-lived as the skies open up tomorrow night with showers mainly expected after midnight. The chance of precipitation jumps to a confident 80%, with forecasters predicting new precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. The following day, Tuesday, will likely not offer any relief with a 100% chance of showers and a high temperature hovering near 44 degrees, while the North northeast wind persists at 5 to 10 mph.
Looking further ahead, Wednesday's conditions are a dreary echo of the previous days with more showers in store, an eventual high near 49 degrees and East northeast winds around 10 mph. That night, showers remain likely mainly before midnight, moving towards a slightly drier but still mostly cloudy Thursday with a meager 20 percent chance of morning showers. Finally, temperatures are forecasted to start climbing again towards the end of the week, with Friday offering sunnier skies and a higher high close to 52 degrees.
The weekend comes with its own set of challenges as Saturday rolls in with a 70 percent likelihood of showers and thunderstorms, promising a mostly cloudy day with a more comfortable high of 61 degrees, signaling the region's entrance into a warmer, yet stormy season. These periodic wet days outlined by National Weather Service, Memphis indicate a need for residents to keep their rain gear at hand and patience at the ready as they navigate through this spell of unsettled weather.
