Nashville woke up to clear skies on Monday, April 20, with temperatures starting in the mid-40s at Nashville International Airport. The rest of the day looks sunny and comfortably warm, with a high near 73°F and light winds through the afternoon. Monday night keeps things mild with a low around 50°F, and there are no watches or warnings in effect.
Sunny Monday, Smooth Commute
Roads and parks should be in good shape for the afternoon rush, with plenty of sunshine and pleasant air holding through the evening. Winds are expected to stay light, generally under 5 mph, so travel issues tied to weather should be minimal. If you have been looking for a low-drama day to get outside, this is it before the thermostat starts creeping up later in the week.
Warm Midweek, Then Storms Line Up For The Weekend
A noticeable warmup arrives Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs climbing into the low 80s around 81°F, and Thursday pushing into the mid-80s near 84°F. Rain chances stay very low through Thursday, but a more unsettled pattern moves in on Friday, April 24, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms developing after 1 p.m. The odds go up Friday night into Saturday, April 25.

Weekend Plans Might Need A Backup
If you have outdoor plans Friday or Saturday, it is worth sketching out a backup or leaving yourself some wiggle room. Storm chances look highest from Friday night into Saturday, and some downpours could be on the heavy side. Until then, enjoy mostly sunny skies through Thursday, a warm, mostly dry stretch we flagged earlier this month. No legal advisories are in effect at this time.
