Nashville locals can look forward to a brief chilly snap giving way to a warm-up with perfect sunny skies today, as frost is expected to clear by 8 a.m., paving the path for temperatures to soar near 70 degrees. According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, the wind will remain a light breeze shifting from south to south southwest between 5 to 10 mph in the morning. The last update saw calm conditions with a cool 34°F and a humidity at a high of 87%.
Tonight, the skies are slated to become mostly cloudy early on, then gradually clear up, with overnight lows hovering around 47 degrees and mild southern winds around 5 mph. Looking ahead, Wednesday will see a high near 75 under increasing clouds, and those moderate south southwest winds will continue to fan the area, albeit gently, at 5 to 10 mph.
Turning towards the end of the week, Nashville is in for a mix of weather patterns. The forecast, as reported by the NWS, indicates that Thursday could bring a chance of showers with potential thunderstorms brewing post-4 p.m. The day should be partly sunny with high temperatures reaching near 78 degrees. The chance of precipitation sits at 30%, while south southwest winds pick up the pace, blowing at 10 to 15 mph, with possible gusts of up to 20 mph.
By Thursday night, the likelihood of rain and thunderstorms creeps higher, with a 70% chance of precipitation. The pattern is set to carry into Friday, with morning showers and storms possibly clearing after 1 p.m., but not without leaving behind a high of 72 amidst the south southwest winds. The weekend forecast retains a hint of unpredictability, as sporadic showers are projected, particularly in the early hours after 1 a.m. Saturday and again Sunday, with chances dwindling to a meager 20 percent during the day.
Early birds on Monday will be greeted by mostly sun-kissed skies, with a cooler high around 52. Those against uncertain weather would do well to plan their outdoorsy endeavors earlier in the week, under the benevolent watch of mostly clear skies and southerly winds, before the weekend's scattered showers make their presence known.
