Memphis is getting a sharp taste of fall this weekend, with cloudy skies giving way to sunshine, brisk north winds and a Saturday high near 64 degrees. The dry spell will stick around, but the chill will not last long.
Saturday Brings Sun, Wind And A Sharp Cooldown
Saturday is expected to be sunny around Memphis. The National Weather Service is calling for a high near 64 degrees, with north-northeast winds of 10 to 15 mph and occasional afternoon gusts around 25 mph.
Rain is not expected, making the main weather story the wind and the cooler-than-normal temperatures. Outdoor plans should be comfortable in the sunshine, though a jacket will be useful, especially early and late in the day.
Clear Skies Set Up A Chilly Night
Saturday night will be clear, with temperatures dropping to around 42 degrees and northeast winds easing to 5 to 10 mph. Colder pockets across the broader Mid-South could see patchy frost by Sunday morning, although Memphis itself is forecast to remain just above the frostier range.
What the Frost Estimate Means
The National Weather Service Memphis defines its estimated frost date using a minimum temperature of 36 degrees Fahrenheit or below, while noting that moisture also affects whether frost forms. The agency’s frost guidance provides that threshold, but not a typical calendar date for Memphis’s first autumn freeze.
Sunday brings a sunnier and milder setup, with a high near 70 degrees, light east winds and another rain-free day. Sunday night should stay clear, with a low around 45.
Warm-Up Builds Through Friday
The workweek turns increasingly warm under a persistent dry pattern. Monday is forecast to reach the 70s, followed by 77 on Tuesday, 80 on Wednesday and a high in the low 80s on Thursday.
Friday could feel more like late spring than mid-fall, with sunshine and a high near 85 degrees. The forecast calls for no measurable rain through the next seven days, so Memphis residents can plan outdoor activities without much weather drama—at least for now.
