Todays weather in Memphis - Friday - 29 May 2026

Memphis weather today means one thing: keep that umbrella in your hand, not your bag. Temperatures are already sitting at 69 degrees this morning with high humidity and active thunderstorms that aren't moving through quickly. This system lingers, and the overnight rain chance of 67% confirms it — expect warm, damp air to hang over the city well into the night with no meaningful cool-down.Friday is the peak of the pattern. An unusually high 83% precipitation chance stretches across nearly the entire afternoon, with a high near 83 degrees. South-southeast winds at 5 mph won't feel dramatic on their own, but combined with deep moisture and atmospheric instability, you're looking at a thoroughly soggy day. Plan for wet shoes, slow traffic, and delays.The good news: relief is coming, just not immediately. Friday night storms taper after midnight, and Saturday opens with patchy fog before clearing to genuinely pleasant conditions — high near 86 degrees with only a 16% storm chance. Sunday warms further to near 89 degrees with storms staying mostly on the fringes. Monday approaches 90 degrees as Memphis humidity holds firm heading into the new week.For your commute today, leave early, drive carefully, and assume the afternoon won't clear. The window of nicer weather is real — it's just a couple of days away. Wet today, wetter Friday, better by Saturday.This episode includes AI-generated content.
