Memphis is starting Saturday, October 24, under clear skies and morning lows in the 40s to lower 50s, but the city is headed for a sunny afternoon near 79 degrees. Rain is not part of the weekend forecast, giving outdoor plans a green light—with one important dry-weather caveat.
Sunny Saturday Brings A Warm Afternoon
Temperatures are forecast to reach a high near 79 degrees. Southeast winds should remain light at 0 to 5 mph, while the National Weather Service in Memphis expects sunny skies and no chance of rain.
Dry Air Keeps Fire Risk Elevated
Afternoon humidity could fall to roughly 25% to 30% as dry vegetation remains across the region. Residents should avoid unnecessary outdoor burning, dispose of cigarettes and matches carefully, and use caution with grills or equipment that can create sparks.
Warm, Mostly Dry Stretch Continues
Sunday will be mostly sunny with a high near 78 and an overnight low in the 40s to lower 50s. Monday turns partly sunny near 76, followed by partly sunny skies Tuesday and a high near 76.
Summerlike Warmth Returns Late Week
Mostly sunny conditions are expected Wednesday with a high near 78, while Thursday could reach 80 degrees under sunny skies. Friday should remain mostly sunny near 78, and rain chances stay effectively near zero through Wednesday before edging slightly higher late in the week.
For now, Memphis gets the pleasant side of October: cool mornings, warm afternoons and plenty of sunshine. The tradeoff is a landscape dry enough that even a small spark could become a bigger problem quickly.
