The National Weather Service in Nashville keeps the frost advisory rolling, warning of potential vegetation vandals in the form of frost. "Temperatures as low as 32 will result in frost formation," the National Weather Service cautioned in an update provided late last night. Cover up those tender plants, Middle Tennessee; the advisory stands from 3 AM to 9 AM CDT today.

Despite the chilly start, the mercury is set to climb, forecasted to hit a comfortable 63 degrees under clear skies. A gentle north breeze might tickle at about 5 mph, but tonight you'll swap the coats for comfort as temps dip to a moderate 40 degrees.

Looking ahead, the weekend teases with even warmer weather. Sunshine will dominate Friday with the temperature soaring into the low 70s – that's sweater weather to warm your skin and spirits. Come Friday night, embrace a mild evening as the thermometer stalls at 53, with a soft south-southwest wind stirring the air.

Mother Nature's in a kind mood, serving up near 78 degrees and partly cloudy skies to round off the day. A south-southwest wind could challenge your hairdo, gusting up to 20 mph, while Sunday ups the ante, flirting with the 80s. If you're out at night, expect mild conditions with temps hovering in the high 50s to mid-60s.

However, don't shelve those umbrellas yet. The NWS flags a shift next week, with a chance of showers and storms on Monday. These could intensify by night, with a rough 70 percent chance of thunderous showers. "A chance of showers and thunderstorms then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1 am," warned the National Weather Service, setting the stage for a potentially wet Tuesday, soaked in a 60 percent precipitation probability.

Weather wagers lay bets on showers stretching into midweek, although Wednesday strides back to smiles with a sunnier outlook and highs around 62. So, savor the sunny streak while it lasts, and keep an eye on the sky as Nashville navigates nature's fickle fancies.
