Nashville is starting Sunday with clear skies and a chilly feel in the mid-40s, but the day will warm quickly under full sunshine. Temperatures should reach about 70 degrees this afternoon, with no rain expected and winds turning light. It is the kind of fall day that makes patio plans look unusually responsible.
The mild weather sticks around and gradually warms up: Monday should reach 74 degrees, with highs in the 70s through the week and some lower 80s possible late in the week. The forecast is a much calmer sequel to the forecast earlier this week for a high near 92 Thursday and colder weather Friday, which Hoodline previously reported.
Dry Stretch Keeps Fire Risk In View
The National Weather Service Nashville office is calling for a prolonged dry pattern, with sunny days and cool nights continuing through the week. There is no measurable rain in the current forecast, and the agency says worsening drought conditions will increase fire risk even though winds are expected to remain light, according to the National Weather Service.
Cool Mornings, Easy Outdoor Afternoons
Lows will be mainly in the 40s, including around 44 Monday night and 47 Friday night. Patchy frost is possible early Sunday in colder parts of the Upper Cumberland, but Nashville's main story is a run of sunny, mild afternoons and crisp mornings.
For local plans, Sunday afternoon offers the best mix of comfortable temperatures, light wind and bright skies. The pattern remains dry through at least Saturday, October 24, giving outdoor events and weekend errands a long stretch of favorable weather.
