Nashville is waking Tuesday, October 27, under overcast skies at 45°F at 5:45 a.m., but the morning starts with a brief fog problem before the city flips the switch to mostly sunny. Fog affecting terminals should mix out by 8 a.m., with temperatures climbing through the 60s and 70s to a high near 77. Winds will be nearly calm, so the jacket-before-breakfast, short-sleeves-by-lunch routine is back.
Foggy Start, Warm Afternoon
The National Weather Service Nashville office expects no rain Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, with highs near 78 Wednesday and 79 Thursday. Overnight lows dip to about 52 Tuesday night and 47 Wednesday night. The latest forecast also calls for light winds through the workweek.
Dry Stretch Raises Drought Concerns
Friday should stay partly sunny and warm, with a high near 79. Forecasters say the dry pattern will continue worsening drought conditions across Middle Tennessee, even as light winds keep the fire danger from becoming more elevated. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for Nashville.
Halloween Weekend Brings Rain Back
The pattern changes on Halloween, Saturday, October 31, when there is a 20% chance of precipitation after 7 a.m. Showers and thunderstorms are likely Saturday night, and showers are more likely Sunday, November 1, with a high near 76. That is a meaningful shift from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which focused on the warm, dry stretch before the weekend change.
Active System May Bring Early-Week Rain
A second active system is expected early next week, bringing multiple days of appreciable rain chances. For outdoor plans, the best stretch is Tuesday through Friday after the morning fog lifts. Halloween weekend is the one to watch if plans depend on dry ground.
