Memphis, TN — Memphis residents are bracing for a hot weekend, with temperatures climbing to 90°F today and Sunday. Relief, however, is on the horizon as cooler weather is expected by midweek, bringing potential showers by Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Memphis, temperatures will remain above normal through the weekend, peaking around 90°F on Sunday. Monday will remain warm with highs near 88°F, but a significant drop in temperatures will arrive by Wednesday, with highs dropping into the 70s. A 40% chance of showers Monday and Tuesday will precede the cooler weather.
Residents should prepare for a brief heatwave, particularly if traveling on major highways such as I-40 or U.S. 78.
