THE BREAKDOWN: Halloween Weekend Rain 2026

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Periods of rain roll through the Mid-South this Halloween weekend, which is expected to bring the first measurable rainfall in Memphis since October 2nd.

A dry start to Halloween Saturday for most of the region comes with overcast skies. Showers enter the area mid-afternoon into the evening Halloween night with the bulk of the rainfall during the overnight hours.

Some model data has indicated the potential for showers to arrive as early as noon Saturday, but the most likely timeframe to see the first raindrops will be closer to sunset.

Still, make sure to have the First Alert Weather App to track the latest developments on radar throughout the day on Halloween.

The heaviest rainfall remains off to the west of the Mid-South this weekend, but around half an inch of rainfall accumulation is likely Saturday night. Some localized spots can see as much as 2 inches.

This weekend’s rain is not the only weathermaker for the region over the next 10 days, as a wetter pattern is likely to unfold for the first week of November, bringing mostly cloudy skies and potential for showers and storms.
