Memphis Braces for Wet and Windy Week Ahead, NWS Advises Caution

The National Weather Service in Memphis has forecasted a wet and chilly end to the week for locals. In an update provided early on the morning of November 29th, residents can expect "showers, mainly after 1pm" with a high temperature nearing 49 degrees. Those venturing outdoors should brace for gusts as high as 25 mph, with a 90% chance of precipitation, potentially bringing a quarter of an inch of rain. NWS Memphis detailed that tonight the showers will likely continue before tapering off around 1 AM.

As residents bundle up to face a brisk Monday morning, they can expect a 40 percent chance of additional showers after midday. Despite mostly cloudy skies, the high will struggle to surpass 39 degrees, while northeasterly winds maintain a steady pace of 5 to 10 mph. Precipitation could accumulate between a half and three-quarters of an inch tonight, the service reported, setting the stage for a potentially slick Tuesday morning.

The week's outlook appears to improve by Sunday, with the NWS Memphis describing conditions as "mostly sunny" and a high of 41 degrees, offering a brief reprieve before the next wave of showers on Monday. That respite will be short-lived, however, as showers are slated to return Monday night.

Tuesday’s weather will usher in colder temperatures with "a slight chance of rain and snow showers before noon," though the chance of precipitation drops to 20%. The cold front will bring a partly sunny day with a high of 38 and winds out of the north-northwest. A gradual warming is predicted for midweek, hinting at more stable conditions and higher temperatures, which are expected to inch towards the mid-40s. Yet, the upcoming Thursday night remains uncertain, with the forecast indicating "a 20 percent chance of showers" amidst mostly cloudy skies, per NWS Memphis.

Looking ahead to Friday, the probability of showers increases to 30 percent, accompanied by partly sunny conditions and a high of around 46 degrees.
