NASHVILLE, Tennessee – A damp and misty Tuesday morning will set the stage for a wet midweek across Middle Tennessee before skies clear just in time for Halloween celebrations. Roads may turn slick by Wednesday as steady rain and gusty winds move through the region, making travel slower along I-40 and I-65.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, scattered light sprinkles early Tuesday will give way to heavier showers by late Tuesday night into Wednesday. The heaviest rainfall is expected between midmorning and late afternoon Wednesday, with gusts up to 25 mph and rainfall totals near half an inch. Ponding on low-lying roads could briefly impact commutes and bus routes.
Conditions will gradually improve by Thursday as cooler, drier air settles in from the northwest. A brief round of drizzle or a few lingering sprinkles may linger east of the city early Thursday, but sunshine quickly returns by afternoon. Highs will dip into the upper 50s with crisp fall air settling across Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford counties.
Halloween on Friday looks nearly perfect—sunny skies, highs near 63, and calm winds through the evening. Trick-or-treaters can expect a classic fall feel: clear skies, cool air, and dry streets for outdoor events and community gatherings.
Looking into the weekend, partly sunny skies hold with daytime highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Nights turn chilly, with a few outlying spots dipping toward the upper 30s. Long-range guidance hints at a colder push by early November, suggesting the first broader frost of the season may not be far off. After all, November tends to bring Tennessee’s first real taste of winter.
