The National Weather Service in Nashville reports a forecast that promises a stretch of sunny days ahead, with temperatures climbing to a comfortable range for residents to enjoy. According to the official NWS forecast, today's sunny conditions will see highs reaching near 68 degrees, gradually warming over the week, with a projected high near 76 by Wednesday.
While most of the week appears to be clear, the wind chill this morning dipped to 39 degrees Fahrenheit, despite a moderate humidity level of 51% and a gentle breeze from the north at 5 mph, Nashville citizens might want to keep a light jacket handy until the afternoon heat sets in. Calm winds tonight will shift to a southwest breeze at 5 mph, ushering in a slight temperature increase for Tuesday with a sunny high near 75 and clear night skies lingering around 48 degrees.
NWS Nashville indicates that the latter half of the week will bring chances for precipitation, beginning Wednesday night with a 20 percent chance of showers after 1 am, and an increased likelihood of rainfall through the weekend. Thursday's forecast, in particular, notes a 50 percent chance of showers with a mix of sun and clouds during the day.
Furthermore, come Friday, conditions are expected to shift, as winds increase to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph, a build-up that foretells a more tumultuous weather pattern: the outlook for Friday night forecasts a 70 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, bleeding into an 80 percent chance of heavier rainfalls and potential thunderstorms on Saturday, residents planning outdoor activities towards the end of the week should consider indoor alternatives or prepare for wet conditions.
Despite the impending wet weather, relief seems to be in sight for Sunday, with the NWS predicting a return to sunshine and a high near 63 degrees, offering a respite from the rain and an invitation to once again explore the outdoors in the latter part of the weekend.
