Residents in Nashville can expect to bundle up as they head into the workweek, with temperatures steadfastly reminiscent of the heart of winter. According to the latest update from the National Weather Service, the city saw overcast skies early this morning, with a chilly 35°F reading and a humidity level at 78%. While the wind held calm at 3 mph, the dewpoint hovered at a frigid 29°F, indicating that the bone-chill factor isn't ready to loosen its grip just yet.
The forecast predicting a chance of flurries overnight does little to brighten the outlook, with temperatures dropping to around 30 degrees as of the last update at 4:53 a.m. CST. Today, clouds are expected to give way to sunshine, but not before delivering a high of just 37 degrees. If you're hoping for a warmer evening, you may need to wait, as temperatures are predicted to plunge sharply into the teens.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, the National Weather Service informs us that we can anticipate a mix of increasing clouds and a high crawling towards 41 degrees. Come nighttime, the mostly cloudy sky will take the stage again, ensnaring the temperature around a low of 16. But the week promises at least some respite, with Wednesday revealing mostly sunny conditions and a high nearing 36.
The remainder of the week shares a fair share of ups and downs, weather-wise. Thursday might be the day to soak in as much as you can of the sunny disposition, predicted at a high of 47 degrees. The forecast, however, spins predictably unpredictable with Friday swinging into view with a 40% chance of showers and a high of 53. Showers are more certain by Friday night, with chances peaking at 90%, according to the National Weather Service.
Nashville's weekend looks to shape up as a continuation of maybes in terms of precipitation. Saturday could possibly usher in a 50% likelihood for showers, breezing down slightly to a 20% chance by night. As the cycle winds down, Sunday wraps up the forecast with a layer of mostly cloudy skies, crowning the day with a high near 37 degrees.
