Nashville residents should brace for a wet week ahead, according to the latest forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS). The city is currently experiencing light rain and fog with a chilly temperature standing at 39°F, compounded by a high humidity reading of 89%. The northeast winds blowing at a gentle 7 mph add a bite to the air, nudging the wind chill down to 34°F, as detailed in the most recent National Weather Service update from 4:53 am CST, today.
The weather outlook for the coming days is not looking any drier. NWS predicts a near-certain chance of showers throughout Tuesday, with an anticipated high of 47°F and light east-northeast winds. Accumulations could range between 1 and 2 inches, putting a damper on any outdoor plans. "A chance of showers before 1am, then a slight chance of showers after 2am," the National Weather Service forecast stated, setting expectations for a soggy Tuesday night with low temperatures hovering around 39°F.
Wednesday offers little reprieve, with a 90% chance of more showers, mainly after 9am when temperatures are expected to peak at a milder 59°F. The risk of rain continues into Wednesday night, where showers and a possible thunderstorm could occur before midnight. Despite a gusty south wind shifting northwest and potentially reaching speeds up to 20 mph, the likelihood of precipitation remains high at 70%.
Progressing through the week, Nashville will see a brief period of partly sunny skies on Thursday, with daytime highs around 43°F—and the inevitability of showers on Friday night with a 50% chance of rain. "Showers. The rain could be heavy at times," warns the National Weather Service for the weekend forecast, indicating a 100% chance of precipitation alongside mild high temperatures near 63°F on Saturday.
The tail end of the weekend might introduce a mix of rain and snow showers on Sunday with a 40% chance of precipitation and a cooler high of 45°F. Those longing for clearer skies has something to look forward to on Washington's Birthday, when the NWS anticipates mostly sunny conditions and a high near 40°F.
