The National Weather Service in Memphis has released a detailed forecast for the coming days, indicating a fluctuation of weather conditions across the region. According to the NWS Memphis report, residents can expect a series of showers and thunderstorms, with the potential for higher precipitation amounts centered around storm activity.

As of this morning, the skies remained largely cloudy with a steady temperature hovering around 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite the 30 percent chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms, the south-southwest wind was measured to gently blow at roughly 10 mph. The forecast for Thursday promises to gradually introduce more instability, forecasting a 50 percent chance of rainfall and thunderstorms post-3 pm. The NWS advises locals to prepare to potentially navigate between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of new rainfall, with the possibility for even higher amounts to occur within thunderstorms.

For those planning their week around the weather, Thursday night is expected to bring showers and thunderstorms more likely before the 2 am mark, with precipitation chances sitting at 60%. Post-storm conditions seem to briefly settle to a low of around 49 degrees Fahrenheit. However, by Friday, the likelihood of rainfall drops to 30 percent, mainly before 7 am, and the temperature is anticipated to reach a mild 57 degrees with mostly cloudy skies.

Heading into the weekend, there appears to be a brief respite as Saturday provides a slight decline in shower probabilities, down to a 20 percent chance, with some partial sunshine peeking through and a high nearing 75 degrees. This window of milder weather is poised to be short-lived, as Saturday night conditions are expected to worsen, bringing likely showers and a possible thunderstorm before midnight. Temperatures will dip to around 40 degrees with winds shifting from south-southwest to north-northeast post-midnight. Ahead lies a week that holds a consistent pattern of cloud cover and intermittent showers, with the NWS forecasting chances of rain persisting through the following Wednesday.

From the latter half of the week onward, the cooler temperatures coupled with ongoing precipitation chances suggest the need for Memphis residents to remain vigilant and prepared for variable spring conditions.
