Rain showers are expected in Memphis Saturday, with a high near 73 and northeast winds that could gust as high as 50 mph. A Wind Advisory is posted through 8 p.m. Saturday as the remnants of Hurricane Isaias move across the Mid-South.
Rain And Strong Winds Move Through Saturday
Showers are forecast across the city Saturday. The National Weather Service expects northeast winds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 50 mph capable of tossing around unsecured outdoor items.
Showers may linger into Saturday evening. Overnight temperatures will fall to about 62 degrees. Rainfall in Memphis is expected to total roughly one-half to three-quarters of an inch.
Sunday Turns Sunny And Warm Fast
The weather changes gears quickly Sunday, bringing sunny skies and a high near 80 degrees. That makes for a much friendlier day after Saturday's wet and blustery conditions.
The warm-up continues Monday with a high near 84, followed by Tuesday highs in the low 80s. Wednesday and Thursday are forecast sunny, with highs near 86 and 87 degrees, respectively.
Secure Outdoor Items Before The Gusts Arrive
Residents should bring in or secure patio furniture, decorations and anything else that could blow away before the strongest winds arrive. Drivers of high-profile vehicles should use extra caution in the gusty conditions.
The stronger wind forecast and formal advisory mark a more serious Saturday setup than the earlier outlook described in Hoodline's Friday forecast. After the storm system moves out, Memphis is headed back toward summerlike warmth for the first half of next week.
