Tennessee Weather feels almost springlike across Memphis this morning, but gusty winds are already whipping across the Mississippi River bridges. Temperatures climb to 73 degrees today, and southwest winds gust up to 30 mph. Drivers along I-40 and I-55 may notice sudden crosswinds, especially on elevated ramps.
According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, skies remain partly sunny through the day with steady southwest winds between 10 and 15 mph. Clouds thicken late, and conditions shift as the next system approaches. Tonight turns partly cloudy with lows near 44 as winds swing northwest.
Friday brings mostly sunny skies and a cooler high near 61. By Friday night, rain chances increase to 50 percent. Showers and a few thunderstorms may develop after 9 p.m., with rainfall generally under a tenth of an inch, though isolated heavier pockets are possible.
Saturday trends drier with a 20 percent shower chance and a high near 58. Then colder air settles in. Sunday stays sunny but cooler, topping out near 50 with northwest winds up to 15 mph. By Sunday night, temperatures drop sharply to 28.
That sharp chill raises flash freeze concerns if pavement remains damp. Bridges over the Wolf and Mississippi rivers could turn slick early Monday. Slow down and allow extra space during the morning commute.
Monday stays sunny but chilly with a high near 43. Temperatures rebound to 52 Tuesday and low 60s by midweek. Longer-range outlooks point toward above-normal readings into late next week, hinting at early Spring warmth returning to the Mid-South.
