NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A stretch of calm, dry fall weather will continue through the weekend across Middle Tennessee, bringing ideal outdoor conditions and mild afternoons. Morning fog could briefly limit visibility, especially near river valleys and low-lying areas before sunshine takes over by midmorning.
According to the National Weather Service Nashville, temperatures will run near seasonal averages through Sunday, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and lows in the upper 40s to low 50s. Patchy fog is likely each morning through Sunday, particularly along I-40 and I-24 corridors. Drivers are urged to use low beams and reduce speed in fog-prone areas during the early morning commute.
Above-average temperatures are expected to build into the region early next week as a ridge of high pressure strengthens over the Southeast. According to meteorologists, highs may climb back into the low to mid-80s by Tuesday, extending an unusually warm start to mid-October.
No rain is expected through the weekend, offering excellent conditions for outdoor festivals, tailgates, and hiking.
