The World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest is opening today in Memphis, and the weather could not have been scripted better. Sunny skies, a high of eighty-four degrees, and a low of fifty-five overnight.
Let's get specific about today. That fifty-five degree low this morning means a cool start.
The important distinction heading into the back half of the week is the warm front arriving Friday. That front pushes highs up to eighty-nine degrees, and Saturday holds at the same level.
Sunday is where the clean story gets its one asterisk. The high stays at eighty-nine degrees, and most of the day looks fine.
Looking past the contest window, the warm front doesn't leave quietly. It stays through the weekend and lingers into next week.
