Weather Alert for Memphis: Hurricane Francine Approaches

Good morning, Memphis! As we sip our coffee and enjoy this warm morning, there’s a storm brewing on the horizon—Hurricane Francine is set to make landfall this evening. With a comfortable start to the day, the weather seems almost deceivingly calm. A mix of sun and clouds has graced our skies, but hold on tight; changes are on the way!

Today’s Forecast

This morning, we’re basking in pleasant temperatures around 89°F, with gentle winds blowing in from the northeast at about 5 to 10 mph. But as we move into the afternoon, those clouds will start to thicken, preparing us for the rollercoaster ride nature has planned.

The Storm is Coming

As Hurricane Francine barrels closer, local meteorologists have upped the rain chances significantly for tomorrow. You might want to keep your umbrellas and raincoats handy because we’re expecting a rainy day! Thursday’s forecast is looking quite dreary with a 50% chance of rain and winds increasing to about 10–15 mph. Don’t be surprised if you see some heavy rain around; models are predicting that Memphis could receive anywhere between 2 to 5 inches of precipitation during the storm.

What to Expect During the Storm

While a sunny day is delightful, the looming storm means we all need to prepare for potential thunderstorms, which could lead to strong winds and heavy downpours. So stay tuned to notifications and keep an eye on the weather updates as they come in. If you have outdoor plans for Thursday, you might want to consider bringing them inside!

Looking Ahead

On a brighter note, after the storm passes, we can look forward to a much cooler weekend. With temperatures dropping to the low 70s on Thursday, we should be back in the 80s by Saturday. It seems that after the rain clears, we will be rewarded with typical beautiful Mid-South weather for our weekend!
