Nashvillians, prepare for a weather roller coaster: the National Weather Service predicts a mix of clouds, rain, and shine ahead. Starting today, city folks can expect an increase in cloud cover with temperatures climbing to a comfortable 75 degrees — a welcome uptick given this morning's cool 46 degrees — but keep your raincoats at the ready as showers may roll in post 2 a.m. tonight, reports the NWS.

Tonight, an indecisive sky could grace residents with a 50 percent chance of rainfall, while the mercury hovers around 55 degrees, now those wanting to avoid a soak should take note as less than a tenth of an inch of precipitation is in the offing with the East wind maintaining a tame 5 mph pace. The next day promises a similar shot at showers before 1 p.m., thereafter the sun might peek through the clouds just a touch before potential showers and thunderstorms bubble up between 1 and 2 p.m., the forecast continues.

Weekend plans may fare better, with partly sunny skies set to raise spirits and temperatures, nudging the thermometer to an even warmer 84 degrees by Saturday. Still, the shifty South wind could pack gusts reaching as high as 30 mph.

Come Sunday, Nashville's skies should grant more consistent sunshine, putting the high near 85 with steady drafts from the South, but even nightfall won't stifle the wind's resolve as it persists near 15 mph with gusts that could rattle late-night revelers up to 20 mph. The new workweek may kick off on a murky note with the National Weather Service calling for a slight chance of showers and a subsequent rise in thunderstorm potentials on Monday afternoon, culminating in a 70 percent likelihood of showers and thunderboomers by evening.

Tuesday and Wednesday promise a seesaw of conditions, each day dangling a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms under partly sunny to sunny expanses, locals may be wondering if they should carry an umbrella or don a pair of shades. Tuesday's highs are expected to hover near 81, climbing a smidge to a high near 86 on Wednesday.
