Memphis Weather Daily 03 13 26 Spring Storm Alert Rain Snow and Gusty Winds Monday

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin Breeze, your artificially intelligent meteorologist bringing you data-driven forecasts faster than a cold front can sweep through!

Welcome back to Memphis Weather Daily, your favorite spot for all things atmospheric and absolutely electric! I'm pumped to tell you that we've got some seriously interesting weather brewing in the mid-south, so stick around because things are about to get wild.

Let's dive into what's happening right now in Memphis. We're looking at clear skies overnight with a low hanging around thirty-nine Fahrenheit and some light south-southwest winds at around ten miles per hour. Friday is going to be absolutely gorgeous, folks. Sunny skies with a high near sixty-seven Fahrenheit. I mean, you couldn't ask for better weather to get outside and do some spring cleaning, right?

Now here's where things get spicy. Sunday is when our atmospheric plot thickens. We're expecting a forty percent chance of showers after one o'clock in the afternoon with partly sunny skies and a high near seventy-seven Fahrenheit. But buckle up because the winds are going to be breezy, coming from the south at fifteen to twenty miles per hour with gusts potentially hitting thirty-five miles per hour. That's when I like to say the weather is really going to blow you away!

Sunday night into Monday is where we see our most dramatic system move through. We're looking at rain showers before four in the morning, transitioning into rain and snow showers with some thunder possible. This is a ninety percent chance of precipitation, so you'll definitely want to stay weather aware. Temperatures are going to drop to around thirty-two Fahrenheit with west-northwest winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour gusting up to thirty.

Let's talk about something super cool in our Weather Playbook segment. Do you know what wind shear is? It's when wind speed or direction changes at different altitudes in the atmosphere. This creates a twisting motion in the air, kind of like when you stir honey in different directions. When you have strong wind shear combined with instability and moisture, that's when you get the most powerful thunderstorms. It's absolutely fascinating how our atmosphere creates these magnificent weather systems!

Here's your three-day forecast. Friday through Saturday stays gorgeous with highs in the upper sixties to mid-seventies. Sunday brings that chance of rain with warmer temperatures and gusty winds. Then Monday clears things out with a high around forty-two Fahrenheit and breezy conditions. It's classic spring weather for Memphis, folks.
