On Average, Memphis’ last Spring frost is March 29, so tonight’s potential frost would be late in the season.

Frost could kill sensitive outdoor vegetation if left outdoors and/or uncovered.

Temperatures will remain below average again on Tuesday, but will rebound by Wednesday with highs back to the 70s. Some showers will move across the Midsouth late Wednesday into early Thursday. It does not appear that this system will result in any severe thunderstorms.

The late week forecast looks warm and dry as temperatures will climb into the 80s area wide by Friday and Saturday.
