The sun is finally winning the battle over the clouds at Nashville International Airport this morning, with clear skies and temperatures hovering near 34°F. Forecasters expect mostly sunny conditions through the afternoon and a high around 54°F, with a gentle east-northeast breeze at 0–5 mph. If you have errands to run or want to sneak in an outdoor lunch, this is likely your driest shot of the week. Tonight turns cooler, with lows back near 34°F, so you will still want a jacket if you are out late.
Weekend Rain Outlook
The dry stretch does not last long. Rain is expected to move back in late Saturday into Sunday, with forecasters calling for a near-100% chance of rain from Saturday night through Sunday and totals around 1–2 inches. There is a 20–30% chance some spots could see closer to 2 inches, but the National Weather Service says widespread flooding is not anticipated at this time.
What To Expect
Saturday night’s rain should be steady through the overnight hours, then ease Sunday afternoon. There is also a slight chance of thunderstorms on Sunday as temperatures climb into the low 60s. Winds will stay light out of the east-northeast, then shift to the north-northeast Sunday night. Looking ahead, a warmer stretch kicks off next week, with highs expected to rise into the upper 60s to low 70s, according to local forecasts from WSMV.
Plan Ahead
If your calendar is packed for Saturday, February 14, or Sunday, February 15, plan on wet conditions from late Saturday into Sunday morning and keep that umbrella handy. While flooding is not expected, brief heavy downpours and a few rumbles of thunder are possible, so it is smart to check the latest forecast before you travel and allow a little extra time for Saturday night arrivals.
