Memphis, Tennessee is experiencing pleasant weather as the New Year kicks off, with temperatures expected to reach the low to mid-60s by midday. This warm spell is anticipated to continue throughout the afternoon before clouds begin to roll in around sunset.
As night falls, skies will shift to mostly cloudy conditions and temperatures will gradually drop from the 50s into the 40s, setting the stage for a cool Friday morning. There is a possibility of spotty showers late at night, particularly after midnight.
Looking ahead to Friday, residents can expect the first rain of 2026 as a low pressure system moves in from the south. Rainfall may begin around sunrise and persist into the afternoon, with highs reaching the mid to upper 50s, overshadowed by persistent cloud cover throughout the day.
The extended forecast indicates a transition to cooler, drier weather this weekend, with temperatures maxing out in the upper 40s and lower 50s and overnight lows dipping to the 30s. However, the coming week promises a return to warmer temperatures, with highs once again climbing into the 60s and nighttime lows remaining in the 40s and 50s. Another round of rain is projected for the middle to latter part of the week, which will likely bring cooler temperatures following its passage.
As we step into the new year, the weather forecast provides a blend of both seasonal changes and the promise of warmer days ahead, creating a refreshing start to 2026.
