Nashville is getting a rare midweek weather treat, with sunny skies, lower humidity, and a truly comfortable start to Wednesday. Morning temperatures are beginning in the upper 50s and will climb toward the mid-80s this afternoon under clear skies. Enjoy the easy mornings while you can, because the pattern starts to flip heading into the weekend.

Afternoon Highs And Light Winds

Highs are expected to reach around 84°F this afternoon, with light east-southeast winds near 0 to 5 mph. Relative humidity stays low through Friday, so it will feel noticeably drier than it has in recent weeks.

Weekend Warm-Up And Returning Storm Chances

The comfortable stretch does not last long. By Saturday and Sunday, highs climb into the upper 80s as dew points creep back toward the lower 70s, bringing that sticky feel back to the air. Showers and a chance of thunderstorms return Sunday, with rain chances near 40 percent, and become more likely Monday at around 60 percent. Outdoor events on Sunday should have a backup plan ready, according to the National Weather Service.

What This Means For Plans

With calm, dry weather holding through Friday, today and Thursday are prime time for errands, patio lunches, and afternoon runs. If you are planning weekend gatherings or outdoor events, though, keep plans flexible. Last weekend's storms showed how quickly cells can fire and move through; stormy Sunday slog coverage has local context on spots that saw the worst ponding and slow, soggy commutes.

No watches or warnings are in effect this morning, but checking updated forecasts before heading out this weekend is still a smart move. Keep water handy and be ready for brief downpours if storms develop on Monday.
