Tennessee – Cool air pools along the Mississippi River early, with quiet streets, damp sidewalks, and a sharp bite that hints at winter’s last stand. Temperatures sit in the mid-30s across Memphis, cold enough to feel raw before change accelerates.
According to the National Weather Service, clouds increase through the day while highs rebound near 60 degrees. Southwesterly winds pick up slightly, helping temperatures recover by late morning. Roads remain dry, though bridges and shaded pavement feel colder early.
Drivers on I-40 and I-55 should remain alert during the morning hours. While icing is not expected, rapid temperature swings can still create brief slick spots where moisture lingers. Conditions improve quickly as the day warms.
Tonight trends milder, with lows near 40 degrees as clouds thin late. Monday delivers a dramatic shift. Sunshine pushes highs into the upper 60s, well above February averages, signaling a strong thaw across the Mid-South.
By Tuesday, warmth peaks. Highs surge into the low 70s under cloudy skies. Moisture increases through the day, and showers become likely Tuesday night. Rainfall totals may reach up to a quarter inch, with isolated higher amounts possible. Wet roads could slow early Wednesday travel.
Wednesday stays warm and unsettled. Scattered showers linger, mainly during the morning and afternoon. Despite clouds, highs still reach the low 60s. No cold air follows immediately, keeping winter weather threats off the table for now.
