Memphis, TN – Tennessee commuters should prepare for severe thunderstorms on Monday, as a cold front is forecasted to bring damaging winds and heavy rain across the region. The National Weather Service has warned that the storms could strike during the afternoon and evening hours, potentially causing hazardous driving conditions on major roadways, including I-40 and I-55.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated but strong storms may develop quickly, with damaging winds being the primary threat. Heavy downpours could reduce visibility and lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas. Commuters are advised to monitor weather updates throughout the day and plan ahead to avoid peak travel times if possible. Residents are urged to secure outdoor items and ensure their emergency weather alerts are set to notify them immediately.
The severe weather is expected to subside by Monday night, but unsettled weather could linger through Tuesday. The upcoming week may continue to bring scattered rain showers, with cooler temperatures settling into the region by mid-week.
