Nashville residents, brace yourselves for a chilly Thanksgiving Day, but don't let the cold winds put a damper on the holiday spirit. The National Weather Service in Nashville predicts a high near 47 degrees after a mostly cloudy start to the morning. Those northwest winds might make you pull your coat a bit tighter at 5 to 10 mph, but at least it's clearing up later in the day. The forecast, available on NWS's website, also includes a dry evening with lows around 26, as the wind calms down.
Looking ahead to Friday, it appears the sun will be back in full force, pushing temperatures up to a high near 45. It's still going to be a calm day, with just a gentle northwest breeze later on. That nighttime sky will remain partly cloudy, though, with the forecasted low hanging around 26 degrees. Saturday ramps up the chance of showers after noon to 20 percent, and it will be a day of transition, from light breezes in the morning to gusts as high as 20 mph coming from the south in the afternoon.
For those who are already planning their weekend, Saturday night will likely be wet, with showers and lows taking a dip to around 39, so you might want to plan indoor activities. Sunday continues with a significant chance of showers, especially before noon. Temperatures are set to rise to a near 48, with a south-southwest wind that's shifting north in the afternoon, which might bring in gusts up to 20 mph.
Transitioning into the next workweek, Monday's chances of showers after noon sit modestly at 20 percent, with partly sunny skies and a high nearing 41 degrees. As the evening rolls in, keep your rain gear at the ready with a 40 percent chance of showers and overnight temperatures hovering around 29. Tuesday's projections are looking similar, with a low chance of showers and a high near 42 during the day, but expect partly cloudy conditions overnight and a low of about 24, easing into a mostly sunny Wednesday with the high inching upwards near 48.
