Nashville is getting a taste of spring in February this Tuesday morning, February 10, 2026, with clear skies and upper 40s at daybreak set to rocket into the low 70s this afternoon. Partly sunny skies and a south-southwest breeze will help push temperatures toward about 73°F by mid-afternoon. That early taste of warmth will not stick around for long, as a cold front moves in tonight with rain showers that could snag the evening commute. By Wednesday, expect a reality check: noticeably cooler, breezy conditions with highs back in the mid-50s.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Highs near 73°F are on tap, with temperatures slipping back into the upper 60s later this afternoon as south-southwest winds increase to 5–15 mph and gust as high as 20 mph. According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, those readings run roughly 20 degrees above normal for early February, which might have a few sweaters feeling overdressed.
Rain Moves In Tuesday Night
Light to moderate rain showers are likely to move in between about 7 p.m. and 4 a.m. Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with a high chance of measurable precipitation at around 80% and overnight lows settling near 42°F. New rainfall totals are expected to land around a tenth to a quarter of an inch. Roads could turn slick, and visibility may briefly drop in heavier bursts, so the late drive home might be more windshield wipers than windows down.
Weekend Look: Wet System Approaches
The National Weather Service notes that a stronger system is lining up for the weekend, with widespread rain and scattered thunderstorms possible Saturday into Sunday. Current guidance suggests around 2 inches of rain in some locations. Forecasters say localized ponding on roads and higher totals in thunderstorm bands are possible, though broad river flooding does not appear likely at this time. As the timing and rainfall amounts come into sharper focus, check updates from the NWS Nashville.
For tonight's events, a light rain jacket should do the trick. Many indoor performances are expected to wrap up before the heaviest showers, though travel afterward could be on the damp side; for instance, the Fisk Jubilee Singers perform Tuesday evening at Edgehill United Methodist Church. If you are planning outdoor activities this weekend, keep plans flexible and keep an eye on forecasts through Friday. For travel and airport updates, it is best to check with airlines and official weather sources before heading out.
