Memphis, TN – Dangerous heat continues in Memphis with highs near 95°F and a heat index reaching 102° through Sunday, creating hazardous conditions for outdoor activity and local travel. According to the National Weather Service, clear skies and calm winds will keep humidity levels elevated and limit overnight relief, with lows hovering around 75°F each night. The stretch of hot, sunny days puts local residents—especially those working or playing outdoors—at risk of heat-related illness and dehydration.
The city’s heat risk will be highest through the weekend, with limited cloud cover and minimal breeze making midday hours especially tough along major roads, at parks, and outdoor venues. Those attending Memphis events, outdoor markets, or sporting activities should plan for extra water, sunscreen, and shaded breaks. Area schools and parents should be cautious with outdoor plans for children.
Relief is on the horizon as a slight chance of thunderstorms returns Monday afternoon, offering cooler temperatures and increased cloud cover. However, the potential for showers remains only around 20–30%, so the heat will persist for most until at least early next week. Memphis residents are urged to limit strenuous activity, check on neighbors, and keep pets cool as advisories remain possible.
Stay alert for updated weather alerts and prepare for continued heat through Sunday night—relief may finally arrive as storms return to start the week.
