The National Weather Service in Nashville is forecasting a period of sustained summer heat with today's temperature reaching up to 95 degrees and heat index values as high as 105 degrees.
A statement released by the NWS Nashville details tonight's weather, maintaining those warm summer vibes with a low dropping to around 75 degrees and light winds. The coming week seems relentless with the sun bearing down upon the city, bringing highs consistently hitting the mid-90s and evening lows gracefully bowing to the mid-70s, a seemingly indefinite loop of warmth that Nashville knows all too well.
Looking ahead, Sunday holds a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1:00 p.m. The heat continues into the early workweek as the trend of clear skies and baking temperatures solidifies, with Monday's forecast predicting yet another sunny day with the thermometer aimed at a high of 96 degrees.
The rest of the week appears to be a mirror image of bright skies and climbing temperatures, peaking near 98 degrees by Wednesday and maintaining the pattern of mostly clear nights with lows resting comfortably at 75 degrees.
Despite the potential for sporadic thunderstorms on Friday, the forecast does little to suggest anything but more of the same: sunny, hot, with highs pressing against the 97-degree mark.
