Residents in Memphis should brace for a series of rain showers and possible thunderstorms over the next week, as the National Weather Service in Memphis predicts a high likelihood of tumultuous weather conditions. According to their latest forecast, the probability of rain will peak this weekend, with a 90% chance of precipitation on Saturday, potentially accompanied by heavy rainfall, and an accumulation of three-quarters and one inch is possible.
The NWS also cautions that overnight storms may persist into early next week, with thunderstorms likely, mainly between 1 pm and 4 pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 4 pm on Monday. Given the unpredictable nature of thunderstorms, residents should prepare for erratic weather patterns and higher amounts of rainfall in some areas. Despite the anticipated wet weather, temperatures will remain warm, hovering around the mid to high 80s throughout the coming days.
By midweek, the skies are expected to clear up somewhat, with the NWS reporting a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms after 1 pm on Wednesday. There will be intervals of sunny weather, even as the forecast indicates showers and thunderstorms could return by Thursday, pushing temperatures close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
For those making plans for the latter part of the week, it's worth noting the mixed bag of conditions ahead. The National Weather Service states that on Thursday night, there's a "40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms," while the probability of rain hikes up to 70% on Friday. Those looking to take advantage of any sunnier spells should check the forecast regularly, as the weather appears to be in a constant flux between storms and clear skies, potentially disrupting outdoor activities.
