Tuesday, November 10, is forecast to warm Memphis to close to 70 degrees by afternoon. The mild stretch will last through Veterans Day, but a strong cold front is set to flip the forecast late Wednesday and send temperatures sharply lower by the weekend.
Sunny Tuesday Brings A Near-70 Warmup
Tuesday should stay dry with partly sunny skies and a high near 70 degrees. A light southwest breeze will keep the afternoon comfortable, while temperatures ease back to around 52 Tuesday night under partly cloudy skies.
Wednesday, November 11, will be the warmest day of the stretch, with sunny skies and a high near 73. The city forecast shows only a small rain chance, but the National Weather Service says a few strong to severe thunderstorms could develop Wednesday afternoon and evening, mainly north and east of Memphis.
Cold Front Brings Wind And A Big Temperature Drop
The front should move through late Wednesday, followed by noticeably cooler weather Thursday. Memphis is forecast to reach only about 60 degrees Thursday, with northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph making it feel sharper than the thermometer suggests.
Friday stays sunny but chilly, with a high near 53 and a low around 32 Friday night. Saturday will rebound slightly to about 57 degrees, although a hard freeze is expected across parts of West Tennessee and northern Mississippi early Saturday.
The sharper turn is an update to Hoodline's earlier forecast, which focused on the warmup and the approaching cold front. There are currently no watches, warnings or advisories listed for the Memphis area, but residents with sensitive plants should prepare for freezing temperatures late Friday into Saturday morning.
Weekend Stays Mostly Sunny
Saturday and Sunday should be mostly sunny, with highs near 57 and 56 degrees, respectively. A slight chance of rain showers returns Sunday night before another mostly sunny day Monday, when temperatures climb back toward 59 degrees.
