Memphis woke up to clear skies and mild air Thursday, June 4, 2026, with temperatures in the upper 60s and a bright, dry forecast for the day. South-southeast breezes of 5–10 mph will help push the high near 86°F this afternoon, and the evening is expected to stay mostly dry and pleasant. The calm setup sticks around through Friday before a wetter, stormier stretch starts to move in Sunday and into next week.
Afternoon And Evening
Through the afternoon, skies should run partly to mostly sunny as temperatures climb into the mid-80s. The drive home looks dry and comfortable, with lows slipping to the mid-60s overnight. Winds remain light but noticeable from the southeast at around 5–10 mph, enough for a little breeze but nothing that will knock over the lawn chairs.
Weekend And Next Week
A slow breakdown of the western ridge will open the door for more moisture to return. That pattern shift brings only an isolated shower chance Saturday, but rain and thunderstorm odds jump sharply beginning Sunday and continuing into next week. Forecasters are calling for an 80% chance of showers and storms Sunday, with repeated daily chances into Monday and Tuesday and highs climbing back toward 90°F by Tuesday and Wednesday. The forecast office says no organized severe outbreak is expected, though a few stronger storms capable of gusty winds and small hail are possible. These details are available from the National Weather Service.
Storms And Impacts
Any stronger storms that do pop up could deliver brief heavy downpours, frequent lightning and gusty winds that may interrupt outdoor plans, so Sunday and Monday are the days to keep a closer eye on the sky if you have events scheduled. Localized ponding on streets is the main flooding concern where heavier bursts occur, but widespread flash flooding is not expected at this time. If storms develop, the usual safety advice applies: move indoors, avoid flooded roads and unplug sensitive electronics.
Cooling And Local Resources
If temperatures push into the upper 80s and low 90s next week, community cooling resources are available for anyone who needs them. The Hospitality Hub operates the city’s emergency warming/cooling program and posts hours and event details on its website. For the latest watches, warnings or changes to the forecast, check local official channels before heading outdoors.
