Tennessee’s morning starts with a cool breeze brushing across Memphis, but bright sun is already pushing temperatures upward, setting the stage for a fast shift from crisp air to spring warmth by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, mostly clear skies and light northeast winds are keeping early readings near 49°F, with highs climbing to about 71°F today. Calm conditions continue into tonight with lows near 49°F again before a steady warming trend builds through midweek.
Across Shelby County and into West Memphis along I-40 and I-55, roads remain dry and visibility stays clear, making for smooth travel through the day. The cool start may require a light jacket early, but temperatures rebound quickly by midday.
By Tuesday, sunshine dominates with highs reaching the low 70s, followed by a warmer push into Wednesday as temperatures climb toward 77°F. Humidity begins to creep back in, hinting at a pattern change.
Meteorologists are now tracking a late-week increase in moisture. By Friday afternoon, a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops, which could briefly slow traffic on major routes and create slick pavement during peak travel hours.
For now, expect comfortable spring conditions with a steady warmup. Keep layers handy early, then plan for lighter clothing by afternoon.
