Memphis, TN – Memphis residents should brace for dangerous heat conditions Friday as temperatures climb to 95°F, with a heat index approaching 101°F during peak afternoon hours. South winds and sunny skies will fuel the sweltering stretch, with little overnight relief expected through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, high pressure remains parked over the Mid-South, driving daily highs into the mid-90s through Sunday. Light winds will do little to break the heat, and overnight lows in the mid-70s offer minimal cooldown. A slight chance of thunderstorms may return Monday, offering the first potential break from the prolonged dry spell.
Friday: Sunny, high near 95°F. Heat index could reach 101°F. Winds southeast around 5 mph.
Saturday: Another hot, dry day with a high near 95°F. Winds remain light.
Sunday: High of 94°F under mostly sunny skies. Heat persists into the evening.
Monday: Slight storm chance after 1 p.m. High near 94°F. May offer some heat relief.
Tuesday: Another round of potential showers with temps hovering near 93°F.
Stay hydrated, avoid prolonged outdoor activity during peak heat, and check on vulnerable neighbors. The heat trend is expected to hold into early next week, with potential thunderstorms providing limited but needed relief.
