The National Weather Service in Nashville has updated its forecast for the week, warning residents of a mixed bag of weather conditions. Today, there’s a noted 30 percent chance of showers kicking off after 5 PM, with clouds on the increase and temperatures peaking near 47 degrees. The otherwise calm winds of the northeast are expected to settle as the day progresses, the NWS detailed in its latest bulletin.
Tonight's outlook suggests a certainty of precipitation, with a combination of rain showers and potential sleet until the early hours, transitioning to a blend of rain and snow showers between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM. It's anticipated for the mercury to hover around 31 degrees, with the previously still winds pivoting to the northwest post-midnight. Despite the 100% likelihood of showers, the forecast predicts little snow and sleet build-up, according to the NWS, Nashville.
Heading into Tuesday, the city should brace for predominantly cloudy skies and a high of 38 degrees. The wind, hailing from the north northwest, may gather pace slightly, traveling at 5 to 10 mph. Tuesday night brings the prospect of patchy fog both before and after the witching hour, with partly cloudy conditions and night-time lows dipping to about 23 degrees.
Wednesday promises a respite from the fog by the time the morning rush kicks in, ushering in a clear, sunny day with highs teetering near 48 degrees. A mercifully calm wind is set to emerge from the south at a gentle 5 mph. The evening won't be entirely free of cloud cover, though, as it is forecast to be mostly cloudy with lows returning to roughly 31 degrees. The rest of the week appears to be a mix of clouds and chances of showers, with NWS underscoring a 60 percent probability for precipitation on Friday and lingering shower chances into the weekend.
