Nashville, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee is set for a mostly sunny weekend, but a brief return of thunderstorms could disrupt plans Sunday afternoon as temperatures trend hotter heading into next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, dry conditions will hold steady Saturday and Monday, while a 30–50% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms moves through on Sunday. Highs will hover in the upper 70s to low 80s through the weekend, with cooler mornings in the 50s.
Cities like Nashville, Franklin, and Murfreesboro can expect clear skies Saturday, offering a prime opportunity for outdoor plans. Storm activity Sunday afternoon could affect travel and outdoor events in areas including Clarksville and Cookeville. No severe weather is expected, but localized downpours or lightning may accompany the storms.
By Monday, sunny skies return before a significant warm-up midweek. The NWS warns that high temperatures could approach or exceed 90 degrees by Wednesday across much of central and southern Tennessee.
Residents should monitor for updated advisories Sunday and prepare for hotter conditions by midweek—stay hydrated, limit afternoon outdoor activity, and check on vulnerable neighbors as summer-like heat builds in.
