Memphis, TN – The Mid-South wakes to a frosty 29°F morning under clear skies — a crisp reminder that winter isn’t far behind. Ice crystals glint on windshields as north winds cut through morning commutes, but this early chill won’t last long. A major temperature rebound is already on the way for Tuesday’s Veterans Day, promising sunshine and highs near 55°F.
According to the National Weather Service, winds will shift south through Tuesday afternoon, pulling in milder air that could boost highs by nearly 30 degrees compared to this morning. Gusts may reach 30 mph at times, giving parades and outdoor ceremonies a brisk but bright feel across Memphis and surrounding Shelby County.
By Wednesday, temperatures surge toward the upper 60s, with Thursday pushing 70°F before another modest cooldown late week. Skies stay mostly sunny through Friday, making it ideal for leaf cleanup or early holiday decorating before the next system moves in by Saturday.
Looking ahead, forecasters hint at a broader pattern change later in November — colder air from the north may spill into the central and eastern U.S. before Thanksgiving, with snow chances increasing across the Midwest and Ohio Valley. For now, Mid-South residents get one more stretch of comfortable late-fall days before the next true winter tease arrives.
