Memphis, TN – Gusty winds are expected to build this morning across the Mid-South, prompting reminders for residents to secure loose outdoor items as conditions remain blustery through the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, sustained winds today will generally range from 15 to 20 mph, with gusts climbing into the 25 to 30 mph range. Some locations—especially across northern Mississippi and portions of west Tennessee—may experience occasional gusts over 30 mph.
Forecasters say the winds will strengthen through midday before gradually easing later this evening. While no major damage is expected, loose outdoor objects such as holiday decorations, trash bins, and patio furniture could easily be blown over or displaced in today’s conditions.
The gusty pattern is part of a broader setup affecting the region this weekend, though no rain or storms are tied to the elevated winds. Forecasters note that travel for high-profile vehicles may be mildly impacted, especially on east-west–oriented roads during peak gusts.
The National Weather Service recommends securing outdoor belongings as soon as possible and remaining alert to changing weather conditions throughout the day.
