Wednesday morning’s rain slid south of Nashville by midday, opening the door to mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the low 50s. The high should top out near 54°F, but a north breeze at 5–10 mph will help pull readings back toward 50°F by late afternoon.
Afternoon Commute And Tonight
For the evening drive, roads are expected to be dry with good visibility and plenty of sunshine to wrap up the day. A steady north wind around 5–10 mph will hang on through the afternoon, then ease back to around 0–5 mph overnight. Tonight turns noticeably colder, with lows near 31°F and some of the colder outlying spots slipping into the mid‑20s.
Weekend Outlook
Rain chances make a comeback Saturday as a southern‑stream system approaches. Showers look most likely from Saturday night into Sunday, with total rainfall generally expected to stay under 2 inches and flooding not anticipated, according to the National Weather Service. The exact timing is still a bit fuzzy, so keep checking for updates if you have Valentine’s Day weekend plans outside.
What This Means For Plans
Today shapes up as the best bet this week for errands, an outdoor lunch, or a quick downtown walk, as long as you grab a light jacket for the chill that settles in this evening. If you have been riding the warm spell from earlier in the week, see our heat tease in the 70s for more context on the sharp temperature drop heading into the weekend.
