Storms expected throughout Memorial Day Weekend

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Unfortunately, we have rain in the forecast every day over Memorial Day weekend.

The forecast has led Memphis in May to transition this year’s Great American River Run to a virtual race.


Expect thunderstorms Saturday morning through early afternoon. There may be some redevelopment of storms during the late afternoon as well.

A few of those storms may be strong to severe, with wind and hail being the main threats, though a rogue tornado isn’t completely out of the question.

Expect a similar forecast on Sunday, with morning storms clearing in the afternoon.

Even though the severe weather parameters aren’t particularly impressive, there still is some chance that a few storms could be strong or severe.

Expect more thunderstorms on Monday, which could last a lot of the day.
