NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A damp gray morning settles over the city as light rain glistens on leaf-strewn streets, the air cool and still. By later today, though, the clouds will retreat, opening the door for several days of bright sunshine and unseasonably mild temperatures — a welcome break for Middle Tennessee travelers and anyone catching up on outdoor chores.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, lingering light rain and drizzle early this morning will taper as drier air moves in. Patchy fog may form across valleys and near rivers through early Monday, potentially reducing visibility along I-24 and I-40. Drivers should allow extra time and use low beams in fog-prone areas before sunshine takes over later in the day.
From Monday through Wednesday, high pressure will dominate, bringing a string of sunny afternoons and clear, crisp nights. Highs will climb steadily — reaching the mid to upper 60s Tuesday and low 70s Wednesday — as light southerly winds return. It’s an ideal window for late-season yard cleanup or early holiday decorating before cooler air likely slips back in by next weekend.
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center continues to monitor La Niña conditions in the Pacific, expected to persist into early winter. For Tennessee, that could mean drier and warmer spells between quick cold snaps later this month — a pattern often followed by sharp transitions near Thanksgiving.
For now, expect a mellow, picture-perfect start to November — a pause between rain and the coming chill of late fall.
