Nashville is starting Tuesday near 59 degrees under mostly clear skies, but the calm opening is a brief intermission before a much wetter stretch. The city should climb to about 78 this afternoon, with south-southeast winds strengthening and gusting up to 30 mph. By tonight, showers and thunderstorms will move in, setting up a soggy Wednesday.
Warm, Breezy Tuesday Has One Good Window
Most of Tuesday stays mostly sunny, with temperatures rising through the 70s before clouds thicken late in the day. The National Weather Service Nashville forecast calls for strengthening south-southeast winds, so outdoor plans get a warm but noticeably breezy window. That is a sharper turn than Monday’s outlook, which already hinted at a stormier midweek pattern, as Hoodline previously reported.
Tuesday Night Brings The Biggest Weather Concern
Showers and thunderstorms are possible during the evening and overnight. The chance of precipitation rises to 90%, and the forecast allows for 1 to 2 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts possible. The Nashville forecast discussion identifies a low flash-flood risk, especially along and west of I-65, while no watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted.
Wednesday Stays Wet Before Fog And Cooler Air
Showers and thunderstorms are expected before 4 p.m. Wednesday, with a high near 74. After that, Nashville dries out, but Thursday morning may start foggy before mostly sunny skies and a high in the upper 60s. Friday is expected to be sunny, with a high near 68, then weekend highs settle in the mid-60s with overnight lows near 40.
What To Watch Through The Weekend
Thursday night could be partly cloudy, and Sunday night may fall to about 44 before Monday’s high near 52. For commuters, the main trouble spot is likely the Tuesday night-to-Wednesday morning period, when heavy rain, reduced visibility and wet roads could overlap. Drivers should avoid any water-covered roadway and give themselves extra time if storms arrive during the overnight or morning commute.
