The morning air over Memphis feels crisp and quiet, a 37°F chill settling across the Mid-South under thick gray clouds. Headlights glint off damp pavement as commuters roll toward a week that begins cold but turns pleasantly mild by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, today’s clouds will gradually clear, giving way to sunshine and a high near 42°F. Winds from the north at 5 to 10 mph will keep the air brisk before calming this evening. Lows drop near 30°F, bringing a strong chance for frost across Shelby County and nearby northern Mississippi suburbs.
By Tuesday and Wednesday, temperatures rebound sharply — climbing into the low to mid-50s with abundant sunshine. “It’s a quiet and dry stretch,” forecasters noted, though morning frost and cold air pooling in valleys could make early drives slippery or fog-prone.
Through Friday, skies remain mostly clear and winds light, offering ideal conditions for holiday decorating or outdoor chores before the next weather shift. Models hint at another cool push late weekend, but for now, the Mid-South enjoys a brief, stable spell between December cold fronts sweeping across the Plains and Midwest.
