The National Weather Service in Memphis has updated the local forecast, providing residents with a clear picture of the weather patterns expected over the coming week. Today, skies will remain sunny, with temperatures climbing to a comfortable high near 86 degrees, accompanied by an east wind traveling at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight's forecast indicates an increase in cloud cover, culminating in lows around 64, while the east wind continues at a mild pace of about 5 mph. The gradually clearing skies on Friday will bring the high back up near 86 degrees, with winds shifting southwards in the afternoon. An error in details appears with a slight contradiction; the forecast describes the day as "mostly cloudy" but concludes with sunny conditions.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday is expected to be mostly sunny, though there's a 30 percent chance that showers might roll in after 1pm. The warmth continues, with a high near 87 degrees and more robust south-southwest winds at 10 to 15 mph. Come nightfall, the chance of precipitation jumps to 90 percent, with the potential for showers and even a thunderstorm. Rainfall could tally between a half and three-quarters of an inch.
After the weekend showers, Sunday is predicted to be sunny with a cooler high near 71, thanks to a north-northwest wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph. The serene weather is expected to persist into the beginning of the week, with clear skies Sunday night and sunny conditions lasting through Monday. However, by Monday night, there exists a 20 percent chance of showers, hinting at another weather shift on the horizon.
As the new week unfolds, a pattern of sunny days with slight chances of rain will establish itself. Tuesday maintains a 30 percent chance of scattered showers under mostly sunny skies and an expected high near 79 degrees. This fluctuating trend of sunshine and potential rain will hover through Wednesday, with a 20 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms, despite the day featuring sunny weather and a high around 72 degrees.
