Nashville started Monday near 45 degrees under clear skies, but the chilly morning will give way to a sunny afternoon near 73. The calm, comfortable setup is the opening act for several days of mild temperatures, cool nights and almost no reason to check the umbrella.

Sunny 70s Settle In Across Nashville

Tuesday should reach about 75 degrees, followed by a high near 77 Wednesday. Thursday and Friday stay sunny near 76, while the weekend warms to around 78 degrees both Saturday and Sunday, with only light winds expected.

The National Weather Service Nashville office expects no measurable rain through Sunday. Winds will generally stay between calm and 5 mph, with occasional speeds near 10 mph Thursday.

Cool Nights And A Little Early Fog

Overnight lows will remain mostly in the mid-to-upper 40s, including around 46 degrees Monday and Tuesday nights and 47 Wednesday night. Patchy fog could develop near lakes and rivers late at night or around daybreak, including a brief chance Thursday morning before sunshine returns.

For commuters and outdoor planners, the pattern is straightforward: a jacket early, lighter clothes by afternoon and plenty of sunshine in between. The lack of rain should make for easy travel and favorable conditions for outdoor plans across the city.

Dry Weather Keeps Fire Danger In View

The extended dry spell is also worsening drought conditions, and forecasters say fire danger remains a concern even with relatively light winds. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Nashville, but the rain-free stretch is long enough to keep outdoor burning and brush fires on the radar.
