Nashville’s Thursday morning starts clear and muggy, with mostly sunny skies, a high near 95 degrees and heat index values reaching as high as 103. Light south-southwest winds will do little to take the edge off the heat.
Heat Builds Through Thursday Afternoon
Temperatures are expected to climb from the 80s late this morning into the mid-90s during the afternoon. The National Weather Service puts Thursday’s rain chance at just 10%, so heat—not rain—will be the main concern for outdoor plans.
Friday Brings More Heat And Storm Chances
Friday looks even hotter, with a high near 96 and heat index values as high as 105. A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives mainly between 1 and 5 p.m., with another chance Friday night; storms are not expected to be severe, but brief heavy rain and gusty winds remain possible.
Weekend Weather Stays Hot And Unsettled
Saturday brings a high near 93 and a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day. Sunday should rebound to around 95 after patchy fog before 8 a.m., followed by mostly sunny skies and a mostly clear night.
Next Week Keeps The Summer Pattern Going
Monday is forecast to be sunny and near 96 degrees. Tuesday starts mostly sunny before a 40% chance of afternoon and evening storms, while Wednesday brings a high near 93 and a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms.
No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Nashville forecast area. With heat index values near or above 100 degrees expected several afternoons, residents should limit strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day, drink water regularly, and check on people and pets vulnerable to heat.
