Residents of Nashville can expect a swing of weather patterns this coming week, as reported by the National Weather Service. While today will show partly sunny skies with highs reaching near a comfortable 81 degrees, gusty winds of up to 20 mph will add a bit of a bluster to the otherwise mild conditions. As night falls, the skies will become mostly cloudy, and temperatures will only drop to a cozy 67 degrees, with persistent south southwest wind that may continue to buffet the area with 20 mph gusts, the NWS forecasts.
Looking ahead to Monday, chances of rain are slim during the day but rise significantly as the night approaches. There's a 70% chance of precipitation following a possibly stormy evening. Tuesday amplifies the wet conditions, promising showers and a potential thunderstorm with a 90% chance of precipitation. The mercury will stay high, with a balmy 77 degrees expected, but guard your hats, as southwest winds may reach up to 25 mph.
The NWS indicates the midweek weather will be somewhat mercurial, with a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday amid mostly sunny skies. The day will see cooler temperatures, peaking around 57 degrees. Winds will remain active, gusting from the west northwest as high as 30 mph. The colder air brings a clear night with lows plummeting to 37 degrees, hinting at frost as we head into early Thursday morning.
Later in the week, Nashvillians will wake up to frosty mornings on both Thursday and Friday before the sun climbs high and shines down unobstructed. Highs will slowly warm from the upper 50s to the low 60s. Thursday night could see areas of frost after 4 am, while Friday will be predominantly sunny, with highs climbing to a pleasant 63 degrees. The week rounds out with continuing clear skies and another sunny day on Saturday, with temperatures inching toward a high near 67 degrees.
