MEMPHIS, TN — A weak weather disturbance will move across the Mid-South on Saturday, bringing the chance for a few light snow showers or flurries north of Interstate 40, according to the National Weather Service in Memphis.
While temperatures will be near freezing early Saturday, forecasters emphasize that no significant accumulation is expected, and travel impacts are not anticipated.
“Rain may briefly change to snow north of I-40 early Saturday morning before tapering off,” meteorologists said. “This will be a light event, with only a few flakes possible for most areas.”
Forecast Highlights:
- Timing: Early Saturday morning through midday.
- Locations Most Likely to See Flurries:
- Poplar Bluff, MO: ~88% chance of a light dusting
- Thayer, MO: ~81% chance
- Jonesboro, AR: ~46% chance
- Paragould, AR: ~54% chance
