Memphis, TN – Spring warmth is on the way for Tennessee as Memphis prepares for a sunny start to the week, but midweek storms could bring some disruptions. After a mild Sunday, temperatures will rise into the mid-70s, with mostly clear skies through Tuesday. However, by Wednesday night, the forecast calls for thunderstorms and increased rainfall.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will bring sunshine with a high of 66°F and light winds from the west. Tuesday will see slightly warmer conditions, reaching 74°F, with south winds increasing to 10-15 mph. These winds signal a shift in the pattern, as moisture moves into the region ahead of Wednesday night’s storm chances.
By Wednesday, highs will remain in the mid-70s, but stronger winds could make outdoor plans more challenging. A 60% chance of thunderstorms is expected overnight, with some storms possibly producing heavy rain. Those with evening travel plans should monitor forecasts for potential impacts.
The remainder of the week looks unsettled. Thursday is expected to be partly sunny with highs near 74°F, while Friday could bring a 40% chance of showers and a breezy high near 79°F. Thunderstorms are likely by Friday night, with rain chances continuing into Saturday.
Drivers on I-40 and I-55 should remain aware of changing conditions, especially midweek when storms develop. Stay updated with local forecasts and plan ahead for potential weather-related delays.
