Nashville, Tenn. – Rain may briefly disrupt Nashville’s evening commute Tuesday as isolated storms pop up before temperatures climb sharply through midweek. Residents should watch for slick spots on I-40 and I-65, especially during late afternoon and evening travel.
According to the National Weather Service, a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue until about 9 p.m. Tuesday. Skies clear overnight with lows near 67, but the heat takes over quickly on Wednesday with highs around 93. Conditions remain mostly sunny and calm through Thursday, before Friday pushes temperatures to 96 degrees under full sun.
Road surfaces could heat well above air temperatures Friday, creating dangerous blacktop conditions. Drivers should avoid leaving pets or valuables in parked cars, where interior temperatures can reach deadly levels in minutes. Outdoor workers and students should take extra breaks and stay hydrated as heat indices rise.
Saturday brings the next shift in the pattern. A 20 to 30 percent chance of storms builds through the day and into the night, with highs near 92. Storm chances persist into Sunday, keeping outdoor plans vulnerable to sudden downpours.
