Monday, March 30, 2026, started on the gray side in Nashville, with mostly cloudy skies and about 59°F at Nashville International Airport and a southerly breeze already in play. Temperatures will climb into the upper 70s this afternoon, kicking off a warm, muggy stretch that builds toward a shot at storms later in the week.
Afternoon Gusts and Temperatures
Forecasters are calling for a high near 79°F today, with south-southwest winds around 10 to 15 mph and afternoon gusts that could reach 25 mph. The warmth hangs on after sunset, with lows settling in the mid-60s Monday night, so expect a mild evening and some blustery stretches on exposed bridges and downtown corridors. It is a good day to secure lightweight patio furniture and give any loose awnings a quick check before the winds pick up.
Midweek Storm Chance
Rain and thunderstorms are back in the mix starting Wednesday, April 1, 2026, with shower chances stepping up through Thursday, April 2, and Friday, April 3. Forecast discussions also point to roughly 1 to 2 inches of rain possible late in the week. According to the National Weather Service, the overall threat for widespread severe storms remains very low, although a few localized heavy downpours or gusty cells could still sneak through. Keep an eye on forecast updates before heading out from Wednesday night onward.
Planning Notes
No watches or warnings are in effect right now, but those gusty southerly winds this afternoon could make the evening commute feel extra blustery on bridges and other exposed roadways. If you have outdoor plans this week, line up an indoor backup from Wednesday evening through the weekend and consider tying down lawn furniture ahead of this afternoon’s gusts.
