Nashville gets one more easygoing, 70-degree day Tuesday before the forecast takes a sharp turn. The city starts with clear skies, then morning fog should lift by 8 a.m. as sunshine drives temperatures up near 71; Tuesday night brings a low near 41.
Sunshine Holds Through Veterans Day
Tuesday afternoon stays mostly sunny with light southwest winds. Wednesday, Veterans Day, begins calm and mild, with sunshine helping temperatures climb near 70.
Clouds and southwest breezes will increase Wednesday afternoon ahead of a cold front. The National Weather Service expects scattered showers Wednesday evening and overnight, with a 40% chance of rain in Nashville; a few showers could bring thunder or brief gusty winds, but this is not expected to be a major severe-weather setup.
Cold Snap Arrives Thursday
Behind the front, Thursday turns much cooler, with partly sunny skies, a high near 57 and northwest winds gusting to 25 mph. Friday should be mostly sunny but only reach about 50, while Friday night falls near 28.
Saturday stays sunny near 51, but another subfreezing night is likely with a low around 29. The incoming cold snap is expected to bring Nashville's first freeze of the season, arriving later than the city's typical November 1 average.
The latest outlook is a substantive update to Monday's forecast: the midweek rain chance is lower, but the late-week chill remains the main event. Sunday should rebound to mostly sunny skies and a high near 55, followed by another mild, mostly sunny day Monday near 57.
