Brace yourselves, Nashville. The city is in for a wet and wild weather roller coaster this week, with the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasting a near certainty of showers and thunderstorms through the next several days. According to the latest update, residents woke up to foggy conditions this morning, with a dense blanket of mist girdling the city and humidity levels hitting a soaking 100%. Visibility was pared down to a mere 6 miles, as commuters found themselves navigating the soupy streets.

Later today, the NWS anticipates the fog will surrender to stormier affairs, as chances of showers and possibly a thunderstorm climb to 80%. Temperatures are set to soar to a high near 75, fanned by south southeast winds of 5 to 15 mph, reaching gusts as high as 20 mph, nightfall won’t bring reprieve, residents should expect continued showers and thunderstorms before 10pm, then again mainly after 10pm. Predicted lows will hover around 59 degrees, while wind speeds persist, strengthening to gusts as high as 30 mph. The chance of precipitation overnight? An unequivocal 100%.

The deluge is slated to stick around until Thursday with NWS laying odds at 90% for showers and possible thunderstorms sporadically throughout the day. Not to be outdone, the wind will also make a robust showing, shifting from south 15 to 20 mph to west in the afternoon and ramping up to gusts that could reach 30 mph. In terms of temperature, Thursday will be slightly cooler, with highs predicted at approximately 67 degrees.

Relief is on the horizon for the end of the workweek, though, as Friday's forecast promises a break in the clouds. NWS is calling for mostly sunny skies with an agreeable high near 68. But, those winds aren't taking a rest day—they'll be blowing in from the west northwest at 15 to 20 mph, flirting with gusts as high as 30 mph. The outlook for the weekend remains quite fair, Saturday should bathe the city in sunshine, with a high soaring near 79 and gentle southwest winds. Come Sunday, the mercury is expected to nudge even higher, edging close to a balmy 82 degrees, though it won't be entirely still, as winds could burst through at 15 mph, occasionally pushing the limits to hit 30 mph gusts.

Early next week, there's a looming 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms as reported by the NWS, but that won't stop temperatures from rising. Nashville is likely to bask in the warmth of a high near 84 on Monday and 83 on Tuesday, despite the potential for intermittent rain. The city should enjoy mostly sunny to partly sunny conditions kicking off another workweek, yet the possibility of evening thunderstorms will remain a wildcard for outdoor plans. And so, as April advances, Nashville's residents find themselves under the spell of a capricious spring—lurching between the embrace of the sun and the spate of thunderous showers.
