If you’re in Memphis, Monday is shaping up to be a mixed bag when it comes to the weather. The day will kick off with some rain, but things are looking brighter—literally—as the skies clear up later in the day. Here’s everything you need to know to plan ahead.
A Rainy Morning to Start the Day
Wake up ready for some wet weather! Rain showers are expected in the early morning hours, so if you’re heading out for work or school, don’t forget your umbrella or raincoat. Temperatures will be on the cooler side, hanging around the low 40s°F (about 5°C). The rain should taper off by mid-morning, so the commute home might be much drier.
Afternoon Sunshine Brings Some Relief
The good news? By the time lunchtime rolls around, those morning clouds and rain will give way to partly sunny skies. Temperatures will peak at a high of 49°F (10°C), making the afternoon a great time for any outdoor plans you’ve been putting off. Just keep in mind that it’ll still be breezy, so layering up is a smart move to stay comfortable.
Cold Night Ahead—Bundle Up!
Once the sun sets, Memphis will cool down quickly. Evening lows will drop to around 29°F (-2°C), making for a chilly night. While the skies will be clear, the cold temperatures mean you’ll want to grab a warm jacket if you plan to spend time outside.
Looking Ahead to the Week
After Monday’s mix of rain and sunshine, the rest of the week looks calm and mild. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to bring plenty of sunshine with highs in the mid-50s°F (12-13°C) and overnight lows in the 30s°F (around 0-2°C). With no major storms in the forecast, it’s a great week to enjoy the outdoors.
Tips to Get Through Monday’s Weather
- Morning Prep: Plan for rain if you’re heading out early. An umbrella or waterproof jacket will keep you dry.
- Afternoon Activities: Take advantage of the sunshine but wear layers to stay warm.
- Evening Plans: Temperatures will drop sharply, so bundle up if you’ll be outside after sunset.
