THE BREAKDOWN: Temperature Swing This Week (11/11-15/2026)

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - A cold front pushing through Memphis brings the chance at a brief shower Wednesday, but the bigger story is the temperature nosedive to end the week.

How cold are we talking?

Cold enough for frost Saturday morning as temperatures fall into the 30s, with some more rural spots seeing a freeze with lows in the 20s.

As the front pushes through Wednesday, we’ll see warm weather with temperatures in the 70s for afternoon plans.

Isolated showers will be around during the evening commute, but it stays dry for most, and for those that do see any rain, it won’t last long.

By Thursday, the temperature may not look all that cold, but a stronger breeze out of the northwest will have it feel pretty chilly.

Wednesday morning’s low in Memphis, around sunrise, is forecast around 53 degrees. But by Friday afternoon, the high temperature only reaches 52.

While the weekend remains dry, afternoon highs in the 50s come along with morning lows in the 30s. This means a widespread frost is likely to kick off Saturday and Sunday mornings, but in more rural spots, lows in the 20s can mean a freeze.
