Nashville is starting Thursday clear and mild before patchy fog creeps in during the morning and temperatures climb toward a steamy 93 degrees. A few showers or thunderstorms could pop up this afternoon, but the bigger weather story is the heat building steadily into next week.
Morning Fog Gives Way To Afternoon Heat
Fog is expected in spots before 9 a.m., with visibility briefly reduced in some parts of the area. Skies should turn mostly sunny afterward, while the heat index reaches around 100 degrees during the afternoon.
The rain chance remains limited, at about 20%, with the best window for a brief shower or thunderstorm from roughly 2 p.m. through the late afternoon. Winds will stay light from the north and northwest, and the National Weather Service says severe weather is not expected.
Quiet Weather Takes Over Friday
Thursday night should turn partly cloudy and cooler, with a low near 68 degrees. Friday brings sunny skies, light north winds and a high around 91, making it the calmer day for outdoor plans.
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service lists no active watches, warnings or advisories for Nashville. Any afternoon storm Thursday should be spotty rather than an all-day washout.
Heat Builds Into Next Week
Sunny skies and rising temperatures return Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with highs near 94, 95 and 96 degrees, respectively. Tuesday and Wednesday could reach about 97 degrees, with only a slight chance of storms returning Wednesday afternoon.
That marks a noticeable shift from the earlier week’s storm-focused forecast, with Hoodline’s previous update now giving way to a hotter and mostly drier outlook. Residents planning outdoor activities should take advantage of the cooler mornings, keep water nearby and avoid treating the sunny forecast like a free pass from the heat.
