Memphis, TN – Headlights slice through thick fog this morning along I-40 and I-55, where visibility remains low and roads damp. Drivers should plan for slow travel and potential slick spots as dense fog lingers across the metro until midmorning.
The National Weather Service in Memphis reports fog and mist through 10 a.m., followed by a gradual warm-up and sunshine through the afternoon. Temperatures will reach near 46°F today, climbing into the low 50s by Sunday. South winds remain light at 5 mph, keeping the air calm but cool.
Sunday brings a slight chance of light showers before skies clear again by late afternoon. By Monday morning, conditions will turn colder with lows near 29°F, marking the first true December freeze of the season. Residents should protect outdoor pipes, pets, and plants from the chill.
Commuters should remain cautious during the fog window, particularly near bridges and low-lying areas where moisture may cling to the pavement. Once visibility improves, sunshine dominates much of next week — a calm, pleasant stretch ahead of what forecasters say could be a more active mid-month pattern across the Mid-South and lower Ohio Valley between Dec. 11 – 17, when long-range models hint at colder air and possible winter precipitation.

- Sunday: Mostly cloudy, 20% shower chance, high 53°F, low 32°F.
