Showers & dropping temperatures this weekend

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Increasing south winds will bring moisture and milder temps back into the region today before a cold front sweeps through late tonight and early Saturday. After a brief break for Saturday afternoon, an unsettled pattern will set up next week with multiple rounds of rain focused near a stalled frontal boundary. A few inches of rain are likely.

TODAY: Cloudy. 20%. High: 60 degrees. Winds: Northwest at 10 to 15, gusting up to 25 mph.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. 30%. Lows in the lower 50s. Winds: Northwest at 10 to 15 mph.

WEEKEND: A cold front will arrive tonight and then stall over the area for several days. This front will bring rain overnight Friday into early Saturday morning. Rain quickly moves out so it will be dry on Saturday afternoon with some sunshine. Temperatures will quickly drop behind the front and temperatures will stay in the lower 50s all day. More rain arrives on Sunday with the front sitting nearby. The best chance for showers will be in north Mississippi. High temperatures will only be in the mid 40s Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: The cold front pushes rain back into the Mid-South on Monday and Tuesday. This will give us more showers and maybe even a few weak storms. There will be a range of temperatures across the area, depending on the location of the front. Highs will range from the lower 50s to 60 degrees. Showers will be possible through the end of the week.
