Memphis, TN – Early sunlight filters through a thin veil of clouds over the Mississippi River as crisp northwest winds stir fallen leaves. After a gusty start to the day, calm and cool autumn air takes hold across the Mid-South. The National Weather Service in Memphis reports mostly sunny skies today with highs near 67°F and breezy northwest gusts reaching 30 mph before easing by afternoon.
According to the agency, Monday and Tuesday will deliver near-perfect fall weather — bright skies, mild afternoons, and cool, clear evenings. Highs will climb to the low and mid-70s with comfortable humidity, making it ideal for outdoor cleanup, sports, or early Halloween decorating. Light south winds return Monday night, slowly warming the air ahead of a subtle pattern change later in the week.
By Thursday, a weak disturbance may bring the area’s next chance for scattered showers. While rainfall looks light for now, forecasters say gusty conditions and falling temperatures could follow by Friday, bringing a more noticeable autumn chill into the weekend.
Looking further ahead, highs may dip into the upper 60s next Saturday with lows flirting near 50°F — a seasonal reminder that the Mid-South is edging toward its first true cold snap. For now, Memphis residents can enjoy calm, golden afternoons — a brief pause before the next change sweeps through the river valley.
