Nashville residents should brace themselves for a significant shift in weather, as forecasters predict a mix of showers, thunderstorms, and sunny skies in the coming days. According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, today's partly cloudy morning will give way to increasing clouds with a high near 81 degrees. Winds will pick up, potentially gusting as high as 25 mph.

Tonight, the chance of precipitation jumps to 70% as showers and possibly a thunderstorm are forecasted after 2 am. A south wind around 10 mph is expected, with gusts that could reach 20 mph. Rainfall amounts are projected to be between a quarter and half of an inch. As the week progresses, Friday will likely see continued showers and possibly a thunderstorm before things start to clear up by Saturday.

The weekend outlook appears milder with mostly sunny skies and a high near 67 on Saturday, while Sunday will be partly sunny with a high around 63. However, the weather takes a turn on Monday with sunny conditions but cooler, with the high only reaching into the lower 50s. That night, the chilly temperatures will result in widespread frost after 4 am.

For gardeners and plant enthusiasts, Monday night's frost may pose a risk to early blooms and sensitive vegetation, as temperatures plummet to a low around 29 degrees. The frosty conditions will linger into Tuesday morning before the sun brings a modest climb to a high near 55. The rest of the week will consist of more amiable spring-like weather, with temperatures gradually warming up to a high near 61 by Wednesday.
