Nashville can expect a roller coaster of weather this week, as scattered showers give way to sunshine and climbing temperatures. Commuters faced a damp drive this morning, with the likelihood of showers – including a potential thunderstorm – before the lunch hour. Drivers should expect less than a tenth of an inch of rain, though possibly more during any storms, the NWS predicts. Winds are blowing from the south at about 15 mph but could gust up to 30 mph, the National Weather Service in Nashville reports
The city will see a respite from the rain early this afternoon, with skies clearing up and the mercury rising to a comfortable high near 73 degrees. Tonight, Nashville will enjoy mostly clear skies, though temperatures will drop to a chillier low of around 41 degrees. West northwest winds will continue, at a slightly decreased 5 to 10 mph, and could gust as high as 20 mph, according to National Weather Service.
Sunny days are ahead for Wednesday and Thursday, with the thermometer hovering in the low to mid-60s. North northwest winds will keep things brisk, consistently blowing at 5 to 10 mph. Nightfall will bring partly cloudy skies and temperatures dipping into the high 30s – a pattern expected to hold through Thursday night.
As the week winds down, Friday will dawn sunny, kicking off an anticipated warm weekend. The forecast suggests a high near 71 degrees with a gentle southwest wind around 5 to 10 mph. Friday night's sky will remain mostly clear, and the low should settle around 51 degrees. The weekend's outlook is sunny, peaking at a high near 77 degrees on Saturday and flirting with the 80s by Monday. However, a slight chance of showers will roll back in Sunday night into Monday, with a 20 percent chance of precipitation keeping Nashville on its toes.
