Memphis, TN – Residents across the Mid-South can expect a hot and mostly sunny Labor Day weekend, with temperatures climbing into the low 90s Saturday. The dry and warm conditions are ideal for holiday travel and outdoor activities, but a noticeable pattern shift is expected to bring storms and cooler air into the region by early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures in Memphis will reach near 91 degrees Saturday and 90 on Sunday under mostly sunny skies. While Labor Day itself remains largely dry with a high of 88, a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms develops after 1 p.m. The potential for more widespread wet weather increases significantly by Tuesday, with a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms as a new system approaches.
This shift will usher in cooler, below-average temperatures for the latter half of the week, providing a distinct break from the recent summer heat. Drivers should anticipate the possibility of wet roads for the Tuesday morning commute. Residents are advised to monitor conditions and secure any lightweight outdoor furniture before the increased chance for wind and rain arrives. Warnings remain in effect through the middle of the week as the system moves through the area.
