Rain Keeps Sunday Damp
East-southeast winds will generally run 5 to 10 mph, while rainfall totals are expected to stay near a tenth to a quarter inch. Thunderstorms are not the main concern, though the National Weather Service says an isolated rumble cannot be ruled out, mainly across north Mississippi.
Monday Offers A Brief Break
Monday looks mostly cloudy but warmer and largely dry, with a high near 73 and south-southeast winds around 10 mph. Monday night will remain mild, dropping only to about 64 degrees, with wind gusts potentially reaching 30 mph.
Stormier Weather Returns Tuesday Night
Rain is expected to arrive late Tuesday, with showers and thunderstorms becoming more widespread Tuesday night into Wednesday, and the National Weather Service Memphis office says the broader Mid-South could pick up 1 to 2 inches of rain through the midweek system.
Cooler And Drier By The Weekend
Wednesday may still bring scattered showers, with drier weather favored from Thursday onward.
