MEMPHIS, Tenn. — October is usually one of the drier months of the year in Memphis and the Mid-South, but this month could end up as one of the driest on record. The last time Memphis saw a drop of rain was on September 29, meaning it has now been 24 days without rain in the city. With no solid signs of rain in the forecast for the next seven days, there is a decent chance that October could come and go without a single drop of rain in Memphis.
