Nashville residents can expect an uptick in temperatures as forecasters predict a warm week ahead with chances of showers and thunderstorms. In a report from the National Weather Service in Nashville, the city's current fair weather is set to change with an increase in cloud cover and a high of 87 degrees expected later today. A calm morning will give way to a southwest wind of 5 to 10 mph, signifying a steady, yet lukewarm, build-up towards mid-April climatic volatility.
The tranquility of the weather this morning belies the impending atmospheric unrest, tonight's skies will become more clouded, and the temperature is set to drop mildly to around 65 degrees. A gentle south wind at around 5 mph will herald the approach of more active patterns. The following days will see temperatures flirting with the high 80s, with Tuesday's 88-degree forecast coming with gusts that could reach 25 mph, while Wednesday promises a fifty-fifty shot at showers and thunderstorms, the wind strength unfurling to 30 mph.
Nashvillians should keep their umbrellas at the ready as the workweek trudges on. According to the National Weather Service, there is a "60 percent chance of precipitation" on Tuesday night, which may manifest as showers or thunderstorms after 1am. The remainder of the week looks similarly unsettled with partly cloudy skies intermittently releasing their rainy deluge through to the weekend.
Temperatures are slated to dip slightly following the midweek surge, with the weekend's daytime highs hovering in the low 70s. A persistent possibility of precipitation hangs overhead, with showers and thunderstorms holding a 40 percent chance of occurrence each night leading into the weekend. Come Sunday, Nashville's temperamental skies should show some mercy, with only a 20 percent chance of showers and a cooler daytime high of 65 degrees.
