Clouds lingered across West Tennessee overnight, with regional temperatures in the 60s to low 70s. Wednesday brings dry conditions and more sunshine, with highs in the 80s. The change follows the end of the city's 49-day streak of 90-degree days.

Dry Conditions Wednesday

The National Weather Service Memphis office expects dry weather Wednesday, with no watches, warnings or advisories listed for the area. Cloudiness may linger overnight across West Tennessee.

Highs In The 80s, Then A Rebound

Highs are expected to stay in the mid to upper 80s through the remainder of the week. Dry weather should continue through at least Saturday, with highs generally in the mid to upper 80s. It is a cooldown, but not exactly a surrender from summer.

Weekend Weather: Dry Saturday, Sunday Shower Chances

Saturday should stay dry. Isolated shower and thunderstorm chances may return Sunday, with highs generally in the upper 80s to low 90s. Early next week, temperatures are expected to return to the upper 80s to low 90s, making for a warmer stretch.

Rain Chances Return Next Week

Isolated shower and thunderstorm chances may return early next week. That warmer, slightly wetter turn is a substantive update from the near-100-degree pattern covered in Hoodline's earlier forecast.
