Nashville is starting Friday, August 28, with mostly clear skies and temperatures around 72 degrees, but the calm morning is only the opening act. Sunshine will push the city toward a high near 91, kicking off a steady climb into a much hotter stretch next week.
Sunny Friday, Warmer Weekend
Friday should stay dry from morning through evening, with north winds ranging from calm to about 10 mph. The rain chance is near zero, so outdoor plans across Davidson County have a clear runway.
Tonight will be mostly clear with a low around 68 degrees. Saturday turns hotter, reaching about 94 degrees with heat index values as high as 97, while Saturday night remains mostly clear with a low near 71.
The shift is a notable one from the earlier forecast that included more fog and storm possibilities. The latest update from the National Weather Service now points to a mostly dry, increasingly hot pattern for Nashville.
Heat Builds Into Next Week
Sunday is forecast to reach 95 degrees, followed by highs near 96 Monday, 97 Tuesday and 98 Wednesday. Overnight lows will stay in the low to mid-70s, meaning the city may get only limited relief after sunset.
Thursday, September 3, could bring a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1 p.m., but the chance of rain is only about 20%. Until then, the forecast calls for plenty of sunshine and only minimal rain chances, a sharper turn toward heat than the earlier week outlook covered by Hoodline.
Plan Outdoor Time Early
There are no watches, warnings or advisories listed for Nashville in the current forecast, but the heat will become the main concern as the week progresses. Residents planning outdoor work, sports or events should aim for the morning or evening, take breaks in the shade and keep water nearby.
