NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville remains under a heat advisory through 7 p.m. Tuesday as sweltering temperatures push heat index values into the triple digits. Afternoon highs are expected to top out near 101 degrees, with humidity making it feel as hot as 107.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, calm morning winds will give way to light breezes from the north by afternoon, offering little relief. Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Emergency officials warn the combination of high heat and poor air circulation could increase the risk of heat-related illness across Davidson and surrounding counties.
By Wednesday, storm chances return with a 30% likelihood of showers and thunderstorms after 10 a.m., though highs will remain in the mid-90s. The storm risk extends into Wednesday night, with gusts up to 15 mph possible in heavier cells. Rural counties north of Nashville may see isolated power outages if storms intensify.
Conditions ease slightly by Thursday, when highs dip closer to the lower 90s, though scattered rain chances linger into the weekend. Heat risks remain the main concern until Tuesday night.
