Tennessee – Bright sun and warm air are holding steady now, but a fast-moving round of storms is set to disrupt weekend plans by Saturday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, rain chances climb to 80% after 1 p.m. Saturday, with showers and possible thunderstorms spreading across Middle Tennessee. Rainfall totals could reach up to half an inch in some areas, enough to create slick pavement and reduced visibility on major routes like I-40, I-65, and Briley Parkway.
Nashville will push near 89°F today under mostly sunny skies, giving way to increasing clouds tonight. By Saturday afternoon, scattered showers develop and quickly become more widespread into the evening. Brief downpours and isolated thunder could slow traffic and impact outdoor events across Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford counties. Plan ahead and keep rain gear nearby if you’re heading out.
By Saturday night, steady rain continues before cooler, drier air arrives. Temperatures will fall sharply to around 45°F, creating a noticeably crisp feel by early Sunday. Skies clear quickly, with sunshine returning and highs only reaching the upper 60s.
The calmer pattern holds into early next week, with dry weather and gradual warming. Highs rebound into the mid-70s Monday and near 80°F by Tuesday, offering a more stable spring stretch.
