Memphis, Tenn. – Clouds will push into western Tennessee Monday, bringing spotty showers and potential travel slowdowns along I-40 and I-55. Temperatures will cool slightly after Sunday’s heat, but drivers should plan extra time during the Monday night commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, a 20% chance of rain develops late Monday into Tuesday morning. Winds shift from the north at 5 to 10 mph, helping to push cooler air into the region. Lows dip to the lower 60s by Tuesday, a noticeable change from recent humid nights.
Travelers heading through Shelby County may face slick conditions early Tuesday, though widespread rain is not expected. Local officials urge drivers to slow down in any rainfall and give themselves space on major corridors, especially during the morning rush.
Midweek brings relief, with sunny skies returning Wednesday and highs in the lower 80s. Light winds and clear skies make for comfortable evenings, ideal for outdoor events. By Friday, however, temperatures rebound into the mid-80s, and another round of isolated showers and thunderstorms is possible late in the day.
Residents should stay weather-aware, especially if commuting or planning outdoor activities early in the week. Another advisory may be issued if rainfall chances increase.
