Saturday, May 15th, 2021 Memphis Weather

What’s BBQ Fest without a little rain? It seems we may just find out! :-) We’ve made it to the weekend and if you’re looking for some drier weather – this forecast should satisfy that craving!

The MidSouth will begin to notice extra clouds today and humidity levels start to rise this afternoon, but most of us will remain dry, and comfortable temperatures last throughout the weekend. Thunderstorms continue to erupt over the Central Plains, but it doesn’t appear they will make it into our area – just the occasional clouds. A warm front will clip north Arkansas today, so the NW corner of the Natural State may see some rain. For the News Channel 3 viewing area, a high-pressure system blocks most of our rain chances – with the exception of maybe a few light showers across the extreme northern counties tonight. Highs today: near 79. Overnight temps: around 60.

Another disturbance passes nearby Sunday afternoon north of I-40, and that could result in some isolated showers, but the rest of the area should remain warm and dry. Southerly winds are returning and temperatures are climbing.  We are back to near 80 for Sunday.  Overnight lows will hold in the low to mid-60s. 

While mostly dry for most of the weekend, scattered showers will be likely starting on Monday and thru Friday.

Monday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 80.

Tuesday: Showers and thunderstorms likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 79. South wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Wednesday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 84.
