Tennessee, Nashville – Warm air is already wrapping around the city this morning, and you can feel it on contact as the breeze picks up and skies brighten. It’s a classic early spring surge, but changes are lining up quickly that could affect travel and evening plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, highs climb to 85°F today with southwest winds between 5 and 10 mph, gusting near 20 mph. That warmth builds further Sunday, reaching 87°F with gusts up to 25 mph by afternoon.
Expect smooth travel early, but conditions begin shifting by late Sunday. A 20% chance of showers develops after 11 p.m., with clouds thickening and winds turning north. Roads along I-40 and I-65 may turn damp late, especially toward the early Monday drive.
Temperatures drop quickly into the upper 40s by early Monday, and highs only reach 67°F. That cooler air sticks through Tuesday morning. While no freezing issues are expected, the sharp cooldown will feel noticeable after the weekend warmth.
By Tuesday, skies partially clear with highs near 69°F, but another 20% rain chance arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday. Light showers could create brief slick spots during commutes, especially in low-lying areas around Davidson and Williamson counties.
Looking ahead, warmer spring air returns by midweek with highs pushing into the 70s again. Keep a light jacket nearby for the early morning chill, and plan around late-day shower chances.
