Nashville, TN – Fall finally makes its presence felt across Middle Tennessee this week as storms fade and cooler, sunnier days move in by Thursday. After a damp and stormy start to the week, residents can expect brighter skies and comfortable temperatures—just in time for outdoor plans and early Halloween decorating.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, showers and thunderstorms are expected to taper off by Tuesday evening, bringing gradual clearing and a noticeable drop in humidity. Wednesday will see highs near 75°F with north winds ushering in drier air. By Thursday, sunshine dominates with afternoon highs in the low 70s and overnight lows dipping to the low 50s.
Drivers along I-40 and I-65 should use caution Tuesday morning as slick roads and brief downpours could slow commutes. Once skies clear, travel and visibility improve sharply by midweek.
The weekend forecast looks ideal for pumpkin patches and fall festivals. Friday will see highs near 78°F with light winds and patchy morning fog possible before full sunshine returns. Saturday and Sunday bring crisp mornings and mild afternoons near 80°F, perfect for leaf viewing in nearby parks.
Looking ahead, long-range models suggest a cooler pattern by next week, with potential for early frost across parts of Middle Tennessee as October deepens.
