MEMPHIS, TN – The Memphis area is bracing for increased rain chances as we head into the latter part of the week. According to the latest forecast, residents can expect a wet Thursday and Friday, with precipitation likely to affect evening plans.
As of Wednesday evening, the skies over Memphis are relatively clear, but meteorologists are predicting that clouds will roll in overnight. Rain is expected to start early Thursday morning, turning into a steady drizzle by mid-morning. This pattern is anticipated to continue throughout the day, with the possibility of thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Friday does not bring much relief, as lingering showers are expected to persist into the day. Forecasters suggest that while some areas could see lighter rain, others may experience heavier downpours, leading to potential flooding concerns. Residents are encouraged to keep an eye on updates and prepare accordingly.
The National Weather Service has advised that drivers exercise caution during these wet conditions, especially during rush hour, as roadways may become slick. Those planning outdoor activities should reconsider their plans, as the rain could impact events and gatherings in the Memphis area.
Temperatures in Memphis will remain mild throughout the weekend, with highs in the mid-60s. After the rain subsides, a brief clearing is expected on Saturday, providing a window for outdoor activities before more clouds and possible rain return next week.
