MEMPHIS, Tenn —

What you need to know

We've had a good deal of rain over the last week - over 5 inches in a few spots! Luckily, our rainy pattern is coming to an end with sunshine returning just in time for Memorial Day.

Cloud cover will continue this evening and tonight with a few light showers possible north of Memphis. Temperatures will fall into the 50s tonight with a partly cloudy sky.

Friday will feature some morning clouds, but expect some peeks of sun through the day. Temperatures will be comfortable with highs in the mid to upper 70s.

Mostly sunny skies will be the story all weekend with temperatures heating up. Highs will be in the mid 80s on Saturday and Sunday, and a bit closer to 90 on Memorial Day. Make sure to apply sunscreen every 90 minutes as the UV index will be high. If you're traveling, expect good weather across all of the Southeast.

Sunny skies will continue into Tuesday and Wednesday of next week with highs in the low 90s. Expect a chance of rain next Thursday.
