Tennessee – Warm air is already building across Memphis this morning, with bright sun and a steady breeze pushing temperatures quickly toward the mid-80s.

According to the National Weather Service, southwest winds will increase to 10–15 mph with gusts near 25 mph by afternoon. That combination of warmth and wind will make it feel more like late spring than March. Dry pavement and clear skies dominate early, but conditions will shift in the coming days.

Across the Memphis metro, including Germantown, Bartlett, and West Memphis, Arkansas, today stays quiet but breezy. Drivers along I-40 and I-55 should expect occasional crosswinds, especially on bridges over the Mississippi River. Secure loose outdoor items before winds peak.

By Monday, cooler air settles in quickly. Highs drop to the upper 60s with calmer northeast winds. The shift will feel noticeable after today’s warmth. Skies remain mostly sunny, offering a brief reset.

Tuesday introduces the next change. Light showers may develop by early morning, with a 20% chance of rain before midday. Roads could turn damp for the morning commute, especially on elevated surfaces and shaded areas.

Midweek brings another warm surge. Temperatures climb back into the low 80s by Wednesday and push toward the upper 80s by Thursday. Sunshine dominates again, reinforcing a spring warming trend.
