Dense fog wrapped Nashville in gray early Monday, March 9, 2026, with visibility cut to a few tenths of a mile and sunrise temperatures hovering near 49°F. The Dense Fog Advisory sticks around into mid-morning, and Monday will warm quickly, with highs near 77°F, before a chance of showers and thunderstorms moves in Monday evening, March 9, 2026.
Fog This Morning
A Dense Fog Advisory for Davidson County and surrounding areas remains in effect until 10:00 AM CDT on Monday, March 9, 2026, with visibility dropping to around a quarter mile in the thickest patches. Southerly winds and rising humidity will push highs into the mid-to-upper 70s on Monday, March 9, 2026, and a 20–30% chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected after 5 p.m., with gusts to 20 mph possible in stronger cells. Forecasters also note a more widespread and potentially stronger round of storms is likely on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, with damaging winds and heavy rain the main concerns, according to NWS Nashville.
Plan For The Commute
Morning drivers should treat roads as hazardous on Monday morning, March 9, 2026, slow down, use low-beam headlights, and leave extra following distance while the fog hangs around. Later Monday evening, quick downpours and gusty winds could trigger brief ponding on roads and knock down small branches, so it is a good idea to secure loose patio furniture and double-check outdoor plans if you have evening events. For background on the broader storm setup, see our earlier coverage of the lunchtime washout on March 7.
Short Range Outlook
Monday night, March 9, 2026, should stay on the mild side with lows near 62°F, and Tuesday, March 10, 2026, will remain warm ahead of the late-week front. Wednesday, March 11, 2026, brings the highest storm odds and a sharp cooldown behind the front, with highs dropping to the mid-50s on Thursday, March 12, 2026. Keep phones charged and weather alerts enabled, since updates are likely if storms organize into stronger lines.
