Late Summer Heat Wave Hits Memphis with Upper 90s Temperatures
Memphis, Tennessee, is experiencing a late summer heat wave as August transitions into September 2026. High temperatures are expected to reach the upper 90s °F (36-37 °C) each afternoon through the weekend, accompanied by mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows will remain warm, falling to the upper 70s °F (25-26 °C). Humidity levels are gradually increasing, bringing muggy conditions later in the week. Rain chances are minimal, with only isolated showers or storms possible toward the weekend. High pressure over the region is maintaining the dry and sunny weather while steering a tropical low in the northern Gulf of Mexico westward into Texas, avoiding any local impact.
