Tennessee – Tennessee greets the morning under low clouds and frosty air, with cold pavement and muted traffic sounds along the Mississippi River. Gloves feel necessary now, but change is already building.
Temperatures in Memphis hover near freezing early, with readings around 31 degrees and a north breeze adding bite. According to the National Weather Service, clouds thin through the day, allowing partial sunshine and a slow warm-up. Highs reach the upper 30s, keeping a winter feel in place through afternoon.
Travel remains manageable, but early drivers should stay alert. Cold road surfaces along I-40 and I-55 can feel slick, especially on bridges. Plan extra time during the morning commute.

Thursday brings improvement. Sunshine becomes more dominant, and highs climb into the low 40s. Winds relax and shift, making the afternoon feel noticeably calmer. The warming trend continues into Thursday night, with lows staying closer to the mid-30s.

The weekend keeps momentum. Saturday remains sunny with highs near the low 50s. Sunday turns even warmer, reaching the mid-60s under mostly sunny skies. Morning clouds clear quickly, and travel conditions stay favorable.
Looking ahead, early next week stays mild, with highs holding in the 60s. A small rain chance appears by Tuesday, but no major disruptions are expected.
