Nashville residents might want to dig out their light jackets, as forecasts predict a partly sunny Thursday with a high near 54, and a brisk wind that could pack gusts of up to 25 mph. It's a day of transition, with overcast skies sitting at 46°F, as nature grapples with the shift into spring. The current humidity is 62%, with a visibility stretching to 10 miles, so while you might not feel the warmth, you'll see the horizon clear, according to the National Weather Service.
Tonight, the clouds plan to stay put with the mercury dipping to around 35, but it's the northwest wind that'll be the real chill factor, breezing through at 5 to 10 mph, winding up gusts as high as 20 mph. As we usher in the weekend, Friday morning greets us with areas of frost before 10 am, but the sun fights back, pushing highs to a reasonable 57. Temps will take another dip Friday night, with more frost and lows around 34, a sure sign that winter, while on its way out, isn't quite ready to say goodbye.
Saturday looks to cut the cold with sunny skies and a high near 63, while areas of frost may still make a cameo appearance early in the day. Come nightfall, conditions remain mostly clear with the thermometer reading a more comfortable 40. However on Sunday, the weather script flips with a slight chance of showers in the morning, escalating to a 40% probability for showers and thunderstorms post-2 pm, so said the National Weather Service.
Those looking to start their weeks on a dry note won't have much luck, as there's a chance for more showers and thunderstorms Monday morning before a slight reprieve in the afternoon. But, any plans for Monday evening events might want to include an umbrella, as there's a 30% chance for rain after 8 pm. Tuesday's forecast doesn't offer much in the way of optimism, with a 50% chance of downpours and thunderstorms looming over, definitely a day to keep waterproof gear at hand.
