Memphis Bracing for More Rain This Weekend
Well, folks, it looks like we’re in for another damp weekend here in Memphis. As we transition from late night into early morning, the rainfall is slowly winding down, but don’t put those umbrellas away just yet! More showers are on the way as we head deeper into the weekend.
Rainfall Totals Look Pleasantly Plentiful
For those who have been keeping tabs on the weather, you may have noticed that we accumulated a pretty decent amount of rain over the last day. We’re talking about a good half to one inch of that sweet, sweet moisture falling from the sky. All of that rain has been quite beneficial to our local gardens and plants—something we can certainly appreciate this time of year!
What’s Up Next for Us?
Now, here’s the scoop: As we approach the midnight hour tonight, expect partly cloudy skies to start the day before making way for a few showers before the clock strikes twelve. Temperatures are looking to stay mild, with a high of 62°F expected. Not too shabby, right? The light, easterly winds should make for a cozy evening, though you might want to keep a jacket handy as we step into the chillier nighttime.
Friday Night Forecast
As this weather system pushes east, the rain might slow down, but it certainly won’t stop! The temperatures will dip to a low of around 59°F tonight, so while it won’t be freezing, you might feel a nip in the air. With the clouds stuck around, it feels like we’re really in the midst of that classic Memphis winter weather.
The Weekend is Going to be a Washout
Fast forward to Saturday, and we’ll kick off the day under a blanket of clouds, with rainy conditions setting in. Whether you’re looking to get out and about or just enjoy lounging on the couch, keep that weather app handy because the chance of rain sits at about 30%. As Saturday wears on, more wet weather is expected to sweep across the Mid-South. Who needs to worry about their car washing when Mother Nature is providing a free rinse, right?
Listening to the Weather News
And let’s not forget, if you’re someone who likes to stay in the know about how the rain is moving through the area, it’s a good idea to tune in and keep an eye on those forecasts. It’s fascinating to see how the rain travels, and whether it’s peeking in from the west or marching in from the east. Rain or shine, we’re bound to have conversations about the weather here in Memphis!
Conclusion: Be Prepared!
As we gear up for the rest of this cloudy and rainy weekend, make sure you’ve prepped for those showers. Stock up on some hot cocoa, cuddle up with a good book, or catch up on your favorite shows. And of course, if you do have to head out, don’t forget that umbrella! Here’s to hoping the rain brings us some much-needed respite and bloom in the weeks to come. Stay safe, Memphis!
