Friday morning starts clear and brisk in Memphis, with temperatures sitting in the mid-30s at Memphis International Airport. The chill will not last all day, though. Highs are expected to jump to around 62°F this afternoon before a northwest breeze nudges readings back into the upper 50s by late day. Overnight, the bottom drops out again, with lows near 31°F, and mornings through Sunday, February 8, 2026, staying near or below freezing.
Afternoon Warmth, Then Cooling
The National Weather Service in Memphis is calling for highs near 62°F on Friday, with northwest winds of 5 to 10 mph and a late-day slide into the upper 50s. The agency is also flagging a refreeze risk: melt from recent snow, sleet, and ice can leave behind wet spots that turn slick overnight, especially for early drivers.
Commuter Tips
Even after a mild afternoon, bridges, overpasses, and shaded neighborhood streets are the first to glaze over. Give yourself extra time for the morning drive and ease up on the gas when you hit ramps or any untreated surface. If you have early outdoor plans on Saturday or Sunday, waiting until temperatures climb into the 30s can cut down the chances of slipping around on lingering ice.
Looking Ahead
A broader warm-up arrives next week, with highs pushing into the upper 60s and near 69°F on Monday, February 9. After that, a weak system brings a chance of rain on Tuesday, February 10. Showers carry about a 30% chance during the day, with odds rising to around 50% overnight. No watches or warnings are in effect for the Memphis area at this time, according to the National Weather Service in Memphis.
