Nashville residents can expect a continued run of warm summer temperatures and scattered chances for rain in the coming days. The NWS outlines a mostly sunny week ahead with highs steadily climbing, a high near 88 degrees for today, with a calm wind turning east southeast, according to the National Weather Service.
As evening approaches, tonight's temperature is predicted to drop to a comfortable 70 degrees, with the same east wind maintaining a subtle presence before becoming calm. Looking into midweek, the Nashville area has a slight prospect of showers and thunderstorms come Wednesday afternoon, with a 20 percent chance after 3 pm and temperatures cresting near 90 degrees. Calming winds from the east are expected to be around 5 mph.
The weather pattern, it seems, wants to stick around, as both Thursday and Friday mirror Wednesday’s conditions. "Partly cloudy, with a low around 71," the National Weather Service notes for Wednesday night, before a repeat performance of possibilities for afternoon rain showers and thunderstorms set the stage for the next couple of days. Residents should look for highs in the low 90s and calm winds becoming east around 5 mph in the afternoons.
Gazing toward the weekend, there's no significant shift in the forecast. The National Weather Service signals, “A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm,” so those with outdoor plans should take note. Days are expected to be mostly sunny with highs stubbornly hanging near 91 degrees. The night skies will remain mostly clear, with the mercury only gently descending to around 72.
As an early peek into next week, the odds for precipitation jump slightly to a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms on Monday. The day is still slated to be sunny, though, and even hotter with a high reaching a near 94 degrees. While the possibility of rain is slight, it could offer a reprieve from the consistent heat.
