Music City residents, it's time to ditch the winter gear because a spring fever alert is in effect. According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, which promises blue skies and warm temperatures, today's weather is serving up a sunny day with a high creeping up to a toasty 77 degrees. The wind, taking a layback approach at 5 to 10 mph from the west, is just enough to keep things comfortable. So, feel free to break out the shorts and plan a day out, as the city is set to bask in some very welcome warmth.
Tonight, stargazers are in for a treat with the sky remaining mostly clear and the mercury hovering around 59 degrees. A gentle south-southwest breeze will keep things from feeling too chilly. The sunny saga continues into Sunday, with the thermometer expected to hit a high of 82 and the southwest winds gathering their strength, reaching 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon — prepare for occasional gusts that could peak at 30 mph.
If you have some flexibility in your schedule for Monday, it may be worth considering taking a day off as the weather is expected to be favorable. The sun is anticipated to shine brightly, with temperatures reaching a high of 85 degrees. The wind will be steady, blowing at a moderate pace of around 10 mph from the south-southwest. However, as the week progresses, it would be a good idea to keep an umbrella handy as the forecast is expected to change. The night sky on Monday will be cloudy, with the low temperature hovering around 64 degrees. The wind will remain constant, blowing from the south.
Clouds will dominate the sky by Tuesday with high temperatures still hanging around the 81-degree mark. The south wind, becoming something of a regular, will keep things lively with 10 to 15 mph winds and gusts that might just flirt with the 25 mph mark. Be prepared for a shift in the weather narrative as Tuesday night brings a 60 percent chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 2 a.m., ushering in a series low around 65 degrees and gusty conditions continuing.
By Wednesday, showers and storms are likely, keeping things interesting despite the partly sunny skies and highs sticking close to the 81-degree sweet spot. Winds, relentless in their performance, are expected to howl at around 20 mph, with gusts pushing upward to 30 mph. Keep in mind that there's a sixty percent chance you might get wet. Chances of precipitation wane as the week wears on, but Thursday and Friday still hold a potential for showers despite mostly sunny conditions with highs of 77 and 68, respectively.
