Nashville woke up in a haze on Sunday, May 3, with patchy morning fog and temperatures in the low 40s at Nashville International Airport. Mist lingered in low-lying spots, but the gray start will not last long. Forecasters expect the fog to thin quickly after sunrise, giving way to sunshine this afternoon and a high near 70°F, with light south-southwest winds around 0 to 5 mph.
Fog And Frost This Morning
Areas of dense fog are likely before 7 AM CDT and could knock visibility down to a few tenths of a mile on some roads and along river corridors. Northern portions of the Cumberland Plateau are under a Frost Advisory until 7 AM CDT, so gardeners should protect sensitive plants in hollows and sheltered yards. These early-morning hazards are described by the National Weather Service in Nashville.
Sunny Today, Gusty Monday
Sunshine will dominate Sunday with a high near 70°F, setting up a quick warm-up on Monday with highs near 82°F. Southwest winds on Monday will increase to 10 to 15 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph, which means lightweight outdoor items could blow around in the afternoon. Monday night stays mild with lows in the upper 50s.
Midweek Rain And Storms
Moisture returns Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing a chance of showers Tuesday and a greater chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday. The forecast highlights the potential for locally heavy totals, with forecasters currently estimating a 30 to 50 percent chance of receiving 2 inches or more in the wettest corridors, though widespread severe storms are not favored. Expect cooler, cloudier conditions on Wednesday with highs around 70°F.
What To Know For Commutes And Plans
Early fog could slow the Sunday morning commute, especially in low spots, on bridges, and near river crossings. Drivers should slow down, use low beams, and give extra space between vehicles. If you have outdoor plans or events later this week, keep an eye on conditions, since Tuesday night may bring the heaviest rain and gusty winds.
