by Memphis, TN – Residents across the Mid-South should brace for a notable change in the weather pattern this week as showers and thunderstorms become increasingly likely ahead of an approaching cold front.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Memphis forecasts a steady increase in rainfall chances from Monday through Wednesday, with cooler temperatures expected to kick in by Wednesday, September 24, and persist into the weekend, bringing relief from the recent summer-like heat.
Rainfall and Thunderstorm Outlook Midweek
According to the NWS, a significant uptick in rain showers and possible thunderstorms is predicted during the middle of the week, coinciding with the advancement of the cold front through the region. This weather activity is expected to impact several key Mid-South cities, including:
- Memphis
- Clarksdale
- Jackson
- Tupelo
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on daily weather reports to make informed decisions for travel and outdoor plans, especially leading into the weekend.
“Showers and possible thunderstorms are most likely during the midweek period as the front moves through,” advises the National Weather Service in Memphis. “Monitoring daily updates is key for safety and planning.”
Cooling Temperatures Signal a Return to Normal Late-September Weather
The cold front will usher in a notable cooling trend, with high temperatures dropping from the upper 80s and low 90s seen earlier in the week down to the mid-to-upper 70s by Friday and Saturday. Overnight lows will also fall, settling in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
