Sunday, April 26, 2026, started with Nashville socked in by thick fog and a mild 57°F at Nashville International Airport, trimming visibility for early commuters. The gray start should clear by mid-morning, opening the door to a mostly sunny, almost summerlike afternoon.
Afternoon: Sunny And Warm
Sunshine takes over by midday, with a high near 84°F expected across the city. Light east-northeast winds will hover around 0 to 5 mph. Temperatures should climb into the low 80s by early afternoon and peak in the mid-afternoon, with humidity running lower than this morning’s soupy fog might have hinted.
Monday Night Severe Risk
Attention swings quickly to Monday, April 27, when the National Weather Service in Nashville is flagging a strong-to-severe thunderstorm threat late Monday into Monday night. Damaging straight-line winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes are all on the table.
Forecasters expect storms could organize into a fast-moving cluster overnight, which would ramp up the wind threat across much of Middle Tennessee. Gusts up to 30 mph are possible Monday afternoon, with even stronger gusts overnight. For background on how the atmosphere is setting this all up, see how Friday night storms set up a rough Monday.
How To Stay Ready
Bring in or secure outdoor furniture and trash cans, charge phones, and set up multiple ways to receive weather warnings in case storms roll in after dark. If you live in a mobile home or have an upstairs bedroom, pick out a nearby interior room or basement now so you can move there quickly if a warning is issued.
