Memphis woke up cool and calm on Monday, February 9, 2026, with clear skies and a chill in the air. Memphis International Airport (KMEM) checked in at about 43°F at 5:35 a.m., and patchy fog is expected to hang around through the early commute before 9 a.m. Once the murk burns off, skies should stay sunny, and temperatures will climb into the upper 60s, with a high near 69°F. Winds will be light at 0 to 5 mph, setting up a mild, almost springlike afternoon.
Fog And The Morning Commute
Patchy to locally dense fog is possible in low-lying spots and near the river, where visibility may drop quickly for early drivers. If you are heading out, use low beams, take it slow, and leave extra room to stop until the fog thins by mid-morning. Forecasters say the thickest fog is most likely west of the Mississippi River.
What To Expect This Week
According to the National Weather Service, fog should lift by mid-morning, giving way to sunshine and a high near 69°F today, with Tuesday running even warmer around 72°F. Showers are expected to return Tuesday evening ahead of a cold front, with rain chances overnight rising into the 50 to 70 percent range and most spots picking up roughly a tenth to a quarter of an inch. A more organized system is possible from Friday into Saturday, bringing a stretch of showers and occasional thunderstorms. Forecasters say there is still significant uncertainty on exact totals, but some model tracks show localized amounts of 2 to 3 inches.
Plan Ahead
There are currently no watches or warnings in effect for Shelby County, but conditions can change quickly, so it is worth checking for updates before you head out. For more on the warm-up and earlier commuter conditions, see how Memphis basks at 62, wakes up on ice.
