@memphisweather1 Thanks for explanation!

Good question. That loop, from yesterday, projected storms to move in on an outflow boundary this afternoon, which did not materialize. It also is snapshots at hourly intervals, so individual storm motion isn't really shown. If we look at an hourly loop later tonight, we'll see a slower eastward motion of the entire system, but indeed, storms themselves are moving north. Storm motion (to the north) and "envelope motion" of the entire system (slowly east) often differ

Tonight will be mostly cloudy and warm, with lows in the mid 70s. Tomorrow, rain chances increase with scattered t’storms possible by afternoon (11am-9pm HRRR run below). A strong storm or two cannot be ruled out. Temperatures stay very warm, with highs near 90°. /AO

@GrainStats So when oil drops off we’re just going to see grain prices plummet? Is there nothing else supporting the market right now?

Global Famine Cancelled ✅

@BassProShops Memphis!

Let's see which store location can get the most love: drop your favorite store location in the comments!👇

@GoddessofGrain Don’t even need to see the picture. 67

do you ever play the "guess the average age of the participants" game when you see a picture of an agriculture round table?

@wpnicholson3 That’s hilarious. I’ve known for years I better slow down coming into Parkin bc they are always hiding out!

Parkin police cannot patrol State highways through 2030 after violating speed trap laws

@memphisweather1 Why have these storms avoided us all spring?

@memphisweather1 They cancelled middle school playoff baseball games this afternoon bc of this threat? Geez.

7pm- A cluster of developing heavy showers are now moving into Tate and DeSoto Co. These are moving NE and may bring the risk of small hail, especially for the storm moving into S Tate Co., which include the Senatobia and Coldwater areas. /AO

@indexnforgetit Well…here in memphis you’re sort of risking your life if you go to BWW. Any of them. So this is a great way for me to enjoy their wings actually.

It’s because people are so lazy they’d rather DoorDash wings than go out to eat with friends and family

@Greg_Gaston That’s the problem. Of course they’ll sell them out bc it’s only 5 games. Then all the chatter will ramp up. It’s a lose lose if memphis allows that.

What happens if they played, let’s say for the sake of this discussion, 5 games in Nashville and sold out every game (doubtful but not impossible) what would be the reaction? Not sure if I would open that can of worms

@ronsterd89 Dukes mayo

What can you add to a grilled cheese sandwich to make it even better?

@Isaac__NBA I wouldn’t sign either until the city shows me a proper plan (with funding in place) to increase development downtown and also to provide an extremely safe environment.

I’m going to say this like I’ve been saying for awhile. If Pera is so committed to Memphis sign the damn lease! That’s it that’s all! Until then I believe he’s trying to bide his time until the poison pill ends. Doesn’t mean the team will move. The Smiths may purchase (1/2)

@ContioPleb @AustinJustice Go put some more tape over your phone camera. You’ll be good.

@reid4par @AustinJustice You are a total fool if you think that’s all they’re doing with all that data. You can’t think more than 5 minutes ahead of you, to say nothing of how little you care for your fellow citizens like me who don’t subscribe to your slave morality. I’m not good with it at all

Memphis was one of the most dangerous cities in America. It’s now becoming a model for how to fight crime when you have a terrible DA. From the peak: - Murders down 47% - Carjackings down 48% - Robberies down 51%. - Vehicle theft down 80%. What changed: 1. State troopers took over interstate patrol, freeing up local officers. 2. Police launched focused initiatives targeting fugitives, violent repeat offenders, and gang members. 3. National Guard, federal agents, and US Marshals came in and made 9,000+ arrests, including 400+ gang members. Plus 629 illegal firearms seized, 150 missing children located. 4. Technology filled the gaps. Police deployed license plate readers citywide, expanded drone use, and opened a downtown command center. A cancer center went from a crime attempt every other week to none. Overall crime is now down more than 43% compared to the same period last year Memphis has a long way to go and remains a dangerous city. Its DA is still dismissing 3 out of every 4 felony cases. In fact, the state legislature just passed a bill to audit and potentially remove him. But the city is showing that a rogue DA doesn't have to be a death sentence for public safety. Flood the streets with law enforcement, target repeat offenders, and make arrests faster than he can dismiss them.

@ContioPleb @AustinJustice My take is I follow the law and have nothing to hide. They aren’t watching me Inside my house or anything. They are simply monitoring the roadways for felons. I’m good with that.

@reid4par @AustinJustice My beef is I don’t want to live under a microscope, “safety” simply isn’t a compelling enough reason to do so, and the crime/safety problem can be remedied by other means that don’t require Flock and Palantir recording my every movement. What’s your beef with human liberty?

@ContioPleb @AustinJustice What’s your beef with license plate scanners? Try not to have outstanding warrants and valid license and it’s fine I promise.

@reid4par @AustinJustice Yeah I’d rather accept the risk and leave it in the hands of my fellow man than surrender myself to some dystopian, minority report style, ever present surveillance state in the name of “safety”

@memphisnews Umm…it’s already been demolished. You can simply drive by and see that.

Memphis landmark Oak Court Mall officially closes as demolition looms commercialappeal.com/story/money/bu…

@ContioPleb @AustinJustice So you prefer just leave everyone alone and let us Memphian not feel comfortable letting our kids play in the neighborhood because they might get robbed. Makes sense. That’s a much better plan.

@AustinJustice Yeah we just had to expand the surveillance state and treat the common man like even more of a slave cattle with more non-consensual surveillances! “Safety” wins again. Imagine how safe you could be if we just put literal tracking collars on every person in the city. ZERO CRIME!

@MichaelWBratton Wiper blades have rubber in them which is made from oil. It’s gotten high. Be a good American and buy the $1400 wiper blades.

I just brought in my car to the Hyundai dealer for a complementary oil change They suggested I get $1400 worth of work, they noted it would include new wiper blades How quickly should I hand them my money?

@samhardiman What’s the plan to make the rest of the structure match the one side that now looks like a spaceship?

@SayMane901 @JWinters489 I agree with Ed. Other side of forum is sitting there waiting to be developed. Leave Beale as is but continue to work on what’s there.

@JWinters489 Why not just do that on MLK on the other side? Beale St has too much history they’ll never change that for no trash azz Grizzlies

If I had control of downtown Memphis, I’d turn Beale Street into a full Grizzlies Live entertainment district, restaurants, rooftop spots, a boutique hotel, plus a sports and music venue. The whole area would be centered around the Memphis Grizzlies and the Tigers.
