Memphis is heading into a sunny Sunday with a high near 78 degrees, but the pleasant forecast comes with a dry-weather warning attached. Clear skies and light southeast winds will set the tone Sunday before another stretch of warm afternoons and chilly mornings settles over the city.
The morning begins in the low to mid-50s, with temperatures climbing through the 60s by late morning and reaching the upper 70s during the afternoon. Winds will stay light at about 5 mph, shifting more easterly later in the day, and rain is not expected.
Warm, Mostly Dry Weather Runs Through Thursday
Monday and Tuesday will bring highs near 76 degrees under mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies. Wednesday and Thursday look warmer, with afternoon highs near 79 and mostly sunny or sunny conditions; overnight lows will generally land in the low to upper 50s.
According to the National Weather Service office in Memphis, the region's dry pattern is expected to continue through much of the week. Low humidity and dry vegetation could allow fires to start and spread more easily, even though winds will remain relatively light.
Fire Weather Concerns Rise Sunday
A rangeland fire danger statement is in effect across the Mid-South for Sunday, with afternoon humidity expected to fall sharply. Residents should follow local burning restrictions, avoid tossing cigarettes or matches onto dry ground, and use extra care with grills or equipment that can create sparks.
There is no meaningful rain in the near-term forecast. A slight chance of showers appears late Friday night and Saturday, but precipitation chances are only around 20–30%, so Halloween plans may stay mostly dry with a high near 79 degrees.
The updated outlook adds a more serious safety angle to the warm-weather pattern described in an earlier Hoodline forecast, with fire danger now flagged as a concern across the region.
