As Nashville routes itself towards the heat of mid-June, the National Weather Service lays out a forecast that looks to serve a mix of sun, cloud cover, and the rhythm of southern storms. With highs nearing 89 degrees Fahrenheit, residents can expect mostly sunny skies today, followed by a partly cloudy evening with lows around 66 degrees.
The tranquil beginning gives way to a pattern of instability as the week progresses. While tomorrow morning may greet locals with patchy fog dissipating before seven, it will herald a high near 92 with a calm wind later joining forces from the south-southwest. According to the NWS, Nashville's Friday will tread into less certain territory, with a "chance of showers and thunderstorms before 1pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 1pm and 4pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 4pm."
This cadence of precipitative probabilities marches through the weekend—where the chance of precipitation for Saturday hits 80%. Winds will meander from the southwest, shy of 10 mph, offering little reprieve to those wishing for a drier outlook. Come nighttime, numbers dip slightly, but the chance for showers or thunderstorms hovers around 40%.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the NWS in Nashville imparted a partly sunny prediction, complemented by a "chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1pm." The forecast arcs into Monday and Tuesday with highs near 90 and 91 consecutively, undulating between showers and thunderstorms with the potential for clearer spells. The week's culmination wraps with a 30 percent chance of showers. Each of these punctuated by south-directed winds, again murmuring close to 5 mph.
