The National Weather Service in Memphis recently issued a detailed forecast for the coming week. It indicates a mix of mostly sunny days punctuated with potential showers and thunderstorms. As the city approaches Memorial Day weekend, residents can expect alternating conditions that could affect their outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday's high will be near 80 degrees, following a chance of rain in the early morning. In comparison, Friday's forecast predicts mostly sunny skies with temperatures around 77 degrees. However, the evening may bring a 50 percent chance for more showers and storms to disrupt any start to the weekend festivities.
Heading into Saturday, the probability for inclement weather increases with a 70 percent likelihood of rain and possible thunderstorms before noon, with the chance of precipitation continuing into the afternoon. While evening conditions appear to be less certain, a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms is still on the radar. Sunday's outlook also shows similar patterns of showers and thunderstorms, with highs reaching the low 80s.
The Memorial Day forecast suggests that residents and visitors should undoubtedly prepare for wet weather, as there's an 80 percent chance of showers and the possibility of a thunderstorm. Even though Monday night's chances slightly diminish to 50 percent, the uncertain pattern is to continue into Tuesday with a 40 percent chance of more rain and thunderstorms before giving way to a partly cloudy evening and a clearer Wednesday.
