Nashville is waking to clear skies and temperatures near 39 degrees Monday morning, but the city is headed for a sunny climb toward 70. The rain-free stretch lasts through Tuesday before wet weather moves in Wednesday night and a colder air mass settles over Middle Tennessee. By Saturday morning, many areas could be in the 20s, with Nashville's first freeze of the season increasingly likely.
Sunny Monday And Tuesday
Monday will stay sunny with a high near 70. The National Weather Service expects another mostly sunny day Tuesday, with a high of 70 degrees and southwest winds around 5 mph. Overnight lows will be near 40 Monday night and 41 Tuesday night, when areas of fog could develop after 10 p.m.
Storms Arrive Wednesday Night
Wednesday's daylight hours should remain mostly dry, but showers are expected to move in after dark, with an 80% chance of precipitation. Forecasters say some thunder is possible, though severe weather is not expected at this time. Thursday could bring a few lingering showers before noon, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a high near 58.
Sharp Cold Snap Builds Into Saturday
Temperatures will keep sliding Friday, when Nashville may struggle to reach 48 degrees, followed by a low near 29 Friday night. Saturday will be sunny but chilly, with a high near 51 and widespread 20s possible early in the morning. The forecast discussion says Nashville's first freeze of the season is increasingly likely, arriving later than the city's average first-freeze date of November 1.
For local plans, Monday and Tuesday offer the best window for patios, yard work and other outdoor errands. After Wednesday night's rain, heavier jackets will become essential by Friday night and Saturday morning.
