Nashville is starting Tuesday, October 13, under clear skies and temperatures near 63 degrees, but the city is headed for another summerlike afternoon. The high should reach about 91 degrees under full sun, with southwest winds at 5 to 10 mph and no rain in the forecast. The bigger plot twist arrives later this week, when a cold front knocks temperatures down by Friday and delivers a much cooler weekend.
Another 90-Degree Day Before A Brief Storm Chance
The National Weather Service Nashville office expects the unusual warmth to continue through Thursday, with record highs possible. Wednesday could reach 91 degrees. A 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms is forecast Wednesday, with the better odds generally north of Interstate 40.
Most of Tuesday should remain dry and sunny, making it a strong day for outdoor errands, patio plans and evening events. Wednesday's storm chance is low enough that it should not wash out the day, but a quick change in the sky could make afternoon plans briefly messy.
Friday Brings The Fall Switch
The real change arrives Friday, when the high is expected to fall to about 75 degrees. Friday night will feel noticeably colder, with a low near 46. Saturday stays sunny but cooler near 65 degrees, followed by a mostly clear night with a low around 42.
Sunny Weekend Rebound After A Chilly Start
Sunday should bring sunshine and a milder high near 72 degrees, with mostly sunny conditions continuing into Monday near 76. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Nashville, according to the National Weather Service. For local residents, the practical forecast is simple: summer clothes through Thursday, a jacket and wind-ready layers Friday, and a distinctly fall-like start to the weekend.
