Nashville residents should prepare for a tumultuous weather week ahead, with the National Weather Service in Nashville forecasting fluctuating chances of showers and thunderstorms. Overnight, if you're out and about, you might get caught in a light drizzle, with a reported 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms and a calm low around 66 degrees. As Wednesday rolls in, keep your umbrella handy—a mixture of sunshine and clouds accompanies a 30 percent chance of precipitation, mainly before the afternoon.
Despite the warm welcome of an 88 degree high, East winds shifting south-southwest will bring variable skies on Wednesday before clouds gather once more at night into Thursday morning, ushering in lows of approximately 69 degrees. Thursday itself might beckon the tumult, with a stronger likelihood of showers and possibly a thunderstorm post-lunch hour—odds the National Weather Service pegs at about 70 percent amid temperatures peaking near 85 and winds gusting to 25 mph.
After Thursday's storms, Mother Nature seems indecisive, posing a 60 percent chance of continued rainfall before dawn on Friday. Even as daytime temperatures linger comfortably in the low 80s, don't let the mostly sunny skies fool you—showers and thunderstorms may reappear, particularly in the midday to afternoon timeframe, threatening Nashville with another 70 percent chance of soggy weather. The pattern persists into Friday evening, casting a similar forecast into the night.
Looking towards the weekend, Saturday will not be exempt from this wet spell, though the likelihood of precipitation drops to 40 percent under mostly sunny skies. After a wet evening, the clouds should part, signaling a series of clear nights ahead. Prepare to say goodbye to the rain boots and hello to sunshine from Sunday through Tuesday, with a warming trend pushing highs toward the comfortable low 80s, making it clear that, after a week of capricious forecasts, the weather will finally agree with those wishing to take their activities back outdoors.
