MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A still, cool Halloween morning unfolds across the Mid-South, the city skyline faintly glowing under a pale crescent moon. Calm winds and clear air frame a postcard-perfect start before clouds edge in this weekend, signaling a temporary shift toward cooler, wetter weather as November begins.
According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, sunshine will hold strong through much of the day, with temperatures climbing toward 63°F under a light west breeze. Clouds begin to thicken Friday evening as a weak cold front organizes to the west. By Saturday afternoon, a 30 to 40 percent chance of light showers spreads across the metro, mainly along and north of I-40. Any rain should remain brief, but damp roads may slow traffic and outdoor plans late in the day.
The front moves east Saturday night, allowing cooler, drier air to pour into Shelby County. Sunday dawns clear and crisp with morning lows near 40°F and a fresh north breeze. Afternoon highs rebound only into the mid-50s, a sharp reminder that fall’s final stretch has arrived.
The pattern then steadies — bright, dry days and chilly nights will dominate early next week. Monday brings sunshine and a gradual warm-up into the lower 60s, perfect for outdoor chores or early holiday decorating.
Forecasters say the Mid-South’s first true cold snap could arrive later next week as a stronger front dives south, potentially delivering the season’s coldest air so far. For now, Halloween weekend brings a gentle transition: warm light, soft rain, and the unmistakable calm before November’s cooler rhythm sets in.
