Severe thunderstorms are forecasted for Memphis this weekend.
Memphis is set for a weekend of severe thunderstorms, particularly on Saturday, with predictions of heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts. After a period of thundershowers early Friday, residents can expect a calm day before storms return on Saturday. While the forecast predicts up to 4 inches of rainfall, Sunday promises sunshine and milder temperatures. As the New Year approaches, the weather looks to improve, though temperatures may dip into the 40s next week. Stay safe and prepared throughout the stormy weather.
Good morning, Memphis! Did you hear about the overnight thundershowers? They’re currently making their way through the Mid-South and should wrap up by around 6 AM Friday. So, if you woke up to the sound of raindrops, it’s about to quiet down, giving us a much-needed break from the wet weather.
As we step into Friday, expect a pretty dry day ahead. The skies will be mostly cloudy, with afternoon temperatures climbing to around 64°F. It’s a decent day to run errands or grab a coffee with friends. And for those planning to attend the AutoZone Liberty Bowl this weekend, the weather conditions look quite promising!
But hold on to your hats, because Saturday is a different story! Rain and storms are making a comeback, and there’s a good chance things could get a bit wild in the afternoon. As the day progresses, we could see the development of some severe storms later in the evening.
It’s predicted that Saturday’s storms might bring heavy rainfall. Wind gusts could cause a ruckus, and there’s also a likelihood of experiencing thunder and lightning. With the combination of rainfall throughout the weekend and the previous storms, we’re bracing for a total accumulation that could range from 1 to 4 inches based on where the heaviest rains settle in.
Don’t worry, though! The storm clouds are not going to stick around for long. By Saturday night, everything should clear up, and Sunday is shaping up to be a gorgeous day with plenty of sunshine. We can look forward to high temperatures in the 60s, perfect for a leisurely stroll or perhaps a picnic.
As we step into the New Year, the good news keeps coming. The forecast for next week promises sunny weather. However, do keep in mind that temperatures will take a dip, potentially falling to the 40s by New Year’s Day. So, while you relish the sunshine, make sure to layer up!
On a side note, the current air quality here in Memphis is rated as satisfactory, meaning there’s pretty much no risk from air pollution. But hold onto your winter hats! While pollen levels are low and manageable, the flu is very much around, so keep an eye on your health and consider getting a flu shot if you haven’t already.
If you happen to experience any storm damage, please ensure your safety first and share any pictures with the authorities. You can send your photos of damage to 901-321-7520, and they’ll appreciate the reports.
