Memphis residents are in for a string of sunny days, according to a recent forecast by the National Weather Service. With the city waking up to a fair 65°F this morning, locals can expect the day to warm up to a comfortable 86°F under clear skies, as reported by the NWS, Memphis. An east southeast wind will be moving at a gentle 5 to 10 mph, offering a subtle but pleasant breeziness throughout the area.
Evening plans are unlikely to be disrupted by the weather, as tonight's forecast indicates a calm continuation of the day's clear conditions, with temperatures expected to settle at around 65°F. However, taking a slight turn, there's a 20% chance some may find themselves rummaging for umbrellas early Monday morning as a slight chance of showers is on the horizon between 1 am and 4 am, with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms developing after that time.
As the new week begins, the NWS predicts a mixed bag for Monday weather-wise. The day should start mostly sunny, but residents should keep an eye on the sky and perhaps have an umbrella at hand. Chances for showers and thunderstorms are hovering at 50%, mainly before 10 am, then again between 10 am and 1 pm, followed by an increased likelihood of both showers and thunderstorms after 1 pm. Despite this, temperatures will reach up to 85°F, with east southeast winds blowing at a similar pace as the weekend.
Tuesday also projects a curious blend of sunshine and potential rain. With the sun expected to shine bright, there still lurks a 50% chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1 pm. The warmth will persist, reaching highs around 86°F. Despite the warmth often enjoyed during such conditions, some may need to keep a raincoat handy, as rain showers could roll in later at night with a 30% chance of precipitation.
Looking further ahead, the odds of rain will diminish by midweek, maintaining a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms before Wednesday afternoon. The refreshing pattern sets in by Thursday, granting Memphis an uninterrupted sequence of sunny days, with agreeable highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. The city can expect a placid descent into nighttime with lows in the upper 50s to low 60s across the week.
