Nashville is getting a brief break from the summer furnace Monday, with cloudy skies early, a small chance of a shower before 7 a.m. and an afternoon high near 87 degrees. Sunshine should take over by midday, making for a noticeably easier day before temperatures begin climbing again.
Clouds Clear For A Sunny Afternoon
Morning temperatures are starting near 70 degrees, with north winds strengthening to about 5 to 10 mph as the day progresses. According to the National Weather Service, skies should turn mostly sunny through the afternoon, while tonight stays mostly clear with a low around 67.
Heat Builds Through Friday
Tuesday warms quickly, reaching about 91 degrees under sunny skies, followed by a high near 92 Wednesday. The bigger jump arrives Thursday and Friday, when highs are expected to reach roughly 95 degrees, with warm overnight lows in the low to mid-70s.
Storm Chances Increase Into The Weekend
Wednesday brings a slight chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, with rain chances increasing to about 40% Friday and 50% Saturday. Sunday remains hot near 94 degrees, with another chance for showers and thunderstorms, but severe weather is not expected.
For outdoor plans, Monday and Tuesday offer the driest stretch before the weekend becomes more hit-or-miss. Any storms that develop later in the week should be scattered, but lightning and quick downpours could still interrupt concerts, games and patio plans.
