The wind doesn't plan on settling down, with gusts potentially reaching 40 mph. Navigating these conditions, the gusts, which are expected to be as high as 30 mph, can bring about unwelcome hair-tousling and sporadic debris for the unprepared pedestrian.
As the National Weather Service notes, a shift will occur Wednesday night when the skies clear to a mostly tranquil state and temperatures dip to a low near 41 degrees. Thursday is set to be partly sunny early on, then clearing up for a cooler high near 56, with northwest winds calming down a bit to 15 mph. Friday continues the mild trend with mostly sunny skies and a high of about 65 degrees, though evening showers have a 30 percent chance of dampening plans before 1 am.
Over the weekend, Memphis is slated to see mostly sunny conditions on Saturday and a comfortable high near 70, perfect for outdoor activities. The possibility of showers remains during the night, as there's a subtle 20 percent chance post-evening. The real rain threat comes on Sunday when the chance of precipitation jumps to 60 percent for both day and night, forecasted to culminate in showers and thunderstorms potentially. In chasing those phenomena, residents could experience highs reaching 75 degrees by day and dropping to a chillier 49 degrees by night, with Monday promising a return to mostly sunny skies and a high near 65.
The upcoming days in Memphis will dance between breezy sunshine and anticipated thundershowers, as highlighted by NWS Memphis's detailed forecast.
