Nashville is soaking up some much-needed sunshine this Thursday morning, with temperatures sitting around 52°F at Nashville International Airport and a light north breeze in the mix. Expect a comfortable afternoon on tap, with a high near 68°F and mostly clear skies.
Afternoon And Tonight
The wind stays tame this afternoon, generally 5-10 mph out of the north, so any outdoor plans should feel pretty ideal. Tonight remains mostly clear, and temperatures will slip into the mid-40s by daybreak. There are no watches or warnings in effect for the Nashville area.
Weekend Warmup, Storms Return Sunday
Temperatures trend up as we head into the weekend - mid-70s on Friday and near 80°F by Saturday - setting up a warm, dry Saturday that is tailor-made for outdoor events and backyard plans. Showers and thunderstorms become more likely Sunday into Sunday night, with roughly a 60% chance of precipitation. As of Thursday morning, the National Weather Service does not expect widespread severe weather, though locally heavy downpours and lightning are possible.
Timing And Impacts
Most outdoor events look good through Saturday, with dry weather and seasonable warmth holding on. Late Saturday night, some patchy fog could develop into early Sunday morning before showers and storms pick up later Sunday. By Monday, conditions turn breezy with north winds of 5-15 mph and gusts near 25 mph, which could jostle lightweight tents and make late-day commutes a bit more of a hassle.
