Clouds and mild air are hanging over Nashville International Airport early Sunday, with temperatures hovering near 59°F and a few light showers possible through midmorning. By afternoon, skies should start to break, with a high near 68°F and a light west-northwest breeze making for a pretty comfortable finish to the weekend.
Morning Showers, Afternoon Sun
Scattered showers are most likely before noon, then conditions turn drier with partly sunny skies and highs climbing into the upper 60s. New rainfall totals should stay modest, under a tenth of an inch for most neighborhoods, and winds are expected to remain light through the afternoon.
Storms Return Monday Night Through Wednesday
Monday brings a noticeable warmup, with highs near 78°F and only a slight chance of an isolated shower after 5 p.m. The pattern shifts Monday night, when showers and thunderstorms become likely, with rain chances around 60%. Tuesday looks even warmer, near 81°F, with showers and storms likely before early afternoon and southwesterly gusts around 20 mph.
Wednesday is shaping up as the main event, as a cold front pushes through and sparks widespread showers and thunderstorms. Southwest winds could gust as high as 30 mph, and the setup supports several tenths of an inch to more than 1 inch of total rainfall spread over a couple of days. These timing and impact details are according to NWS Nashville and echo the conditions we flagged in our March 7 lunchtime washout warning.
Plan Ahead
Secure patio furniture and other loose items before Monday night. Heavy downpours could reduce visibility and create standing water on local roads, and gusty winds may trigger brief power blips. If you have travel or outdoor plans Tuesday through Wednesday, line up a backup option and build in extra time, and check with airlines or transit providers and local media for any service updates.
