Memphis residents can look forward to a sunny day with temperatures reaching a high near 50, heralding a brief respite from the recent cold spell. According to the National Weather Service, the calm wind from the south at 5 to 10 mph will play its part in what appears to be a pleasant day ahead. However, the weather is expected to take a turn with clouds rolling in tonight as lows hover around 40 degrees.
The short-lived sunshine will give way to a 20 percent chance of showers breaking the midweek monotony on Wednesday before noon. The rest of the week presents a mixed bag of meteorological conditions, with shower chances persisting intermittently through Sunday night. The occasional sunshine is set to return by next Monday with highs around 60, providing potential respite for the people in Memphis.
As the week progresses, the forecast predicts showers and a possible thunderstorm by Thursday. That day is pegged to be wet with a "100 percent chance of precipitation" and could bring new rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch, as noted by the National Weather Service update. Post-storm, the skies are expected to clear with a stark drop in temperature on Thursday night, reaching a low near 29 degrees.
Moving into the weekend, forecasts anticipate a mostly sunny Saturday with highs nearing a comfortable 60 degrees. A semblance of stability in the weather pattern might afford locals the opportunity for outdoor activities, despite a slight chance of showers on Saturday night. Sunday will again see a 30 percent chance of precipitation, but with partly sunny skies and highs continuing in the lower 60s, the weekend may still hold pockets of cheerful weather, offering moments to enjoy the daylight hours.
