Memphis is starting Saturday under a blanket of clouds, with temperatures near 68 degrees early and a mostly cloudy afternoon ahead. The high should reach 78, with a northeast wind around 10 mph and only a small chance of rain. For anyone hoping for a crisp fall reset, the calendar is doing more work than the forecast just yet.
Clouds Linger Through Saturday Night
The National Weather Service in Memphis says mostly cloudy skies will stick around Saturday, with a small chance of light showers or drizzle and rainfall amounts expected to stay below a tenth of an inch. The overnight low should settle near 65 degrees as northeast winds ease to between 5 and 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunday Brings A Brief Shower Chance
A chance of rain showers is possible Sunday, and showers may last later in the day. The chance of precipitation is around 20%, and another tenth of an inch or less is expected if showers develop. A stronger cold front is expected to move through late Sunday afternoon or Sunday evening.
Sunny Skies Return Before A Late-Week Warmup
Sunday night should turn mostly clear, with a low near 59, followed by sunny weather Monday and Tuesday. Highs are forecast near 79 Monday and 81 Tuesday. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed in the Saturday morning forecast package.
The broader outlook then takes a decidedly warmer turn, with highs well into the 80s and plenty of sunshine in the mid-to-late week. That pattern feels more like summer’s encore than early October.
