Nashville residents can expect a rocky start to their morning with showers and a possible thunderstorm before the skies clear up later in the afternoon. According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, the high today is projected to be near 81 degrees after a cloudy start, with a 60% chance of precipitation and new rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
The wet conditions will taper off between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., making way for gradual clearing. Motorists should, however, brace for a potentially sluggish commute this morning with reduced visibility and wet roadways. The remainder of the day promises calmer weather, with a west-northwest wind of around 5 mph shifting north in the afternoon.
The outlook for tonight is far more placid. The National Weather Service predicts mostly clear skies with a cool low of around 58 degrees. The serene conditions will continue tomorrow morning, despite some expected patchy fog before 7 a.m. The day will progress to sunny skies and a high of about 88 degrees, with calm winds turning southwest.
Nashville's weather pattern seems to be teasing it with a brief spring respite before another round of showers and thunderstorms later in the week. Thursday will remain sunny, with a high near 89. However, by Thursday night, there's a chance of showers and thunderstorms again, with mostly cloudy skies and a low around 66. A south wind of 5 to 10 mph will accompany the changing weather.
As the week draws to a close, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms creeps higher. The National Weather Service details that by Friday, there's a 60% chance of precipitation, with showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1 p.m. Temperatures will hover around 81 degrees during the day, dropping to 64 at night amidst anticipated stormy weather.
The weekend also seems to hold its fair share of damp conditions, with a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms from Saturday through to Monday. Despite this, the forecast does offer some solace with intervals of partly sunny skies in between the possible rainy spells.
