NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville heads into Labor Day weekend with mostly sunny skies and highs near 90 degrees, but holiday plans could be disrupted Monday as storm chances increase across Middle Tennessee.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, the city will stay partly to mostly sunny through Sunday, with daytime highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Calm winds will shift northeast Friday and Saturday, keeping conditions dry and warm for outdoor events and travel.
The stretch of sunshine ends on Labor Day as a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops after 1 p.m. Scattered storms could impact afternoon gatherings, backyard barbecues, and traffic returning from lakes and parks. Forecasters say unsettled weather continues into early next week, with rain chances lingering through Wednesday.
Travelers should keep an eye on changing conditions, as even brief downpours could create slick roadways on I-40 and I-65 during peak return hours. Outdoor planners are encouraged to have backup shelter ready in case of storms.
The holiday weekend heat will remain the main story until Monday, when the first round of rain chances arrives.
