The National Weather Service in Nashville reports a period of fair weather today with the thermometer hitting a high near 89 degrees amidst sunny skies; gentle breezes from the south are expected to pick up, with potential gusts reaching 20 mph.
However, this tranquil climate is forecasted to shift as the night progresses, with a 50 percent chance of showers between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., which could then evolve into thunderstorms in the predawn hours, the weather service warns, residents should stay alert as the rainfall might be heavier during thunderstorms. The city will brace for a low of 66 degrees as the south southeast wind maintains a gentle pace at around 5 mph.
Looking ahead, Friday is set to bring more substantial downpours and a possibility of thunderstorms, as chances of precipitation soar to 80%, with the National Weather Service predicting rainfall could accumulate between half and three quarters of an inch; as the day peaks, the thermostat is expected to read around 79 degrees with the steady breath of the southern wind.
Similar conditions will roll over into the weekend with Friday night likely to witness showers and storms before 10 p.m., followed by a continuing threat of unsettled weather post 10 p.m., carrying into a cloudy Saturday with a high anticipation of rain and thunderstorms particularly after 1 p.m., while the temperature hovers around the 81-degree mark, the fickle nature of spring in Nashville delivers mixed blessings.
Uncertainty remains a theme through Sunday and Monday, where there's a 50 and 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, respectively, indicating that umbrella-toting and watchful eyes to the sky will be the prudent approach for locals, according to the detailed forecast at NWS Nashville.
As the new week beckons, the likelihood of precipitation tapers slightly, yet there's still a notable possibility of rain and storms, with Tuesday showing a 30 percent chance followed by an increase to 40 percent towards the night, and a slight 20 percent risk come Wednesday—Nashville residents are thus enjoined to remain prepared for intermittent rain as the city wades through a spell of predominantly warm but unsettled weather.
