Nashville residents can look forward to a break from the chilling temperatures, as the National Weather Service forecasts a gradual warm-up this week with a high near 63 degrees today after a frosty morning, according to the latest update from their website. After widespread frost before 9 am this morning, sunshine will take over, offering a calm wind shifting to the southwest later in the day. Tonight's forecast remains mostly clear with a mild low around 37 degrees and the same southwesterly wind.
Continuing the trend, Tuesday will see areas of frost early on that will give way to a sunny sky with the mercury rising to nearly 69 degrees. The wind, remaining southwesterly at a light pace, might be the only trace of the cold that has been gripping the city. By nightfall, while the sky becomes mostly cloudy, the temperatures are not expected to dip too severely, hanging around a low of 48 degrees.
The upward trajectory of warmth climbs higher come Wednesday, hitting a spring-like high near 75, delivered alongside a 5 to 10 mph wind that could bolster itself with gusts as high as 20 mph—so hold onto your hats. Wednesday night, partly cloudy conditions will prevail, and the temperature will balance out at a low of around 53 degrees.
The weather continues to escalate come Thursday, touching a near-perfect 78 degrees, though the heat will be accompanied by a steady southern wind that may gust to 20 mph. Those balmy conditions, however, forebode a change as per the NWS prediction. "Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1 am," warns the forecast for Thursday night, noting a 60% chance of precipitation, with a steady south wind. By Friday, showers and a possibility of a thunderstorm are almost certain with a high near 70 degrees expected before a shift to a west-northwest wind in the afternoon, and gusts may reach speeds up to 20 mph.
The weekend outlook remains less certain, with a 30 percent chance of showers Friday night, though the temperatures will settle gently around 47 degrees. The forecast points towards a slightly cooler Saturday with a decent chance of catching a shower, although conditions will partially clear up Sunday, capping off the week with a 20 percent chance of rain and a high near 65 degrees, as stated by NWS Nashville.
