Memphis is waking up to clear skies Friday before another sunny afternoon. The high is expected to reach 79 degrees, making for easy outdoor plans—but dry air means fire safety remains the less-fun part of the forecast.
Sunny Friday Leads Into Warm Weekend
Friday night should stay mostly clear, with temperatures falling to around 53 degrees. Saturday will bring another sunny day with a high near 79, followed by a mostly sunny Sunday topping out around 77.
There is no rain in the forecast through at least Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. Winds are forecast from the northeast at 5–7 knots Friday, then light from the east or southeast Friday night.
Low Humidity Keeps Fire Danger Elevated
Friday afternoon relative humidity is expected to drop below 30%, keeping fire danger elevated across the Memphis area. No weather alerts are posted, but residents should avoid unnecessary outdoor burning, cigarette disposal near dry vegetation and open flames where local restrictions apply.
Clouds Arrive Next Week, But Rain Holds Off
Monday is forecast partly sunny near 74, while Tuesday should be mostly sunny near 75. Wednesday is forecast sunny with a high near 78. Thursday currently looks sunny.
Overnight lows will remain in the 40s to low 50s, while afternoons continue running warmer than late-October norms. For outdoor plans, the forecast is friendly; just keep the matches and burn piles out of the itinerary.
