Memphis is set to simmer as the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts a streak of sunny days with temperatures steadily climbing into the high nineties by early next week. According to the latest report from NWS, today is sunny with a high near 92 degrees, carried by a gentle north breeze that will pick up to between 5 and 10 mph as the morning progresses.
The evening takes on a mostly clear sky with the mercury dropping to around 74 degrees. The north-northeast wind is expected to gently slow to a calm pace as the day gives way to night. Those making plans for Sunday can look forward to more sunshine and a high near 93 degrees, winding down with clear skies and an overnight low pegged at 74 degrees.
As we step into the new week, NWS anticipates the heat will not only persist but also intensify. Monday's forecast calls for a sunny and hot day with highs approaching 97 degrees, with the nighttime sky remaining clear and the low settling around 75 degrees. While the wind remains calm overall, it will occasionally shift to a north-northeast direction around 5 mph in the afternoons.
Further ahead, Tuesday's outlook virtually mirrors Monday's with sunny skies and a high near 97, while evening conditions remain consistent with clear skies and a low around 74. The calm winds are to somewhat change direction, becoming west-northwest at about 5 mph during the afternoon.
The rest of the week appears not to deviate from this pattern. Wednesday's forecast expects the sun to dominate the skies, pushing temperatures to a high near 94, followed by another clear and warm night with a low of about 73 degrees. Looking at Thursday and Friday, the NWS suggests it's more of the same — abundant sunshine with highs in the low nineties and mostly clear nights with lows in the low seventies.
