Nashville, Tennessee – Scattered thunderstorms could bring much-needed relief across Middle Tennessee today as the region wraps up its final day under a heat advisory, with heat index values expected to stay below 105° moving forward. Highs will still climb into the upper 90s Tuesday, but the worst of the oppressive heat may be easing.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, isolated to scattered storms are expected through tonight, with better coverage by Wednesday. While the chance for severe weather remains low, residents should watch for locally heavy downpours and gusty winds, especially in the evening hours. Storms may return again Friday and Saturday, making outdoor plans a gamble later this week.
Temperatures will slowly trend downward, with highs dropping into the 70s and low 80s by the weekend. Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Clarksville will feel the cooldown most by Sunday, when drier conditions and clearer skies are expected.
Drivers should remain alert during storm periods, especially on I-24 and I-65, where ponding could develop during heavier showers. Power outages aren’t expected, but charging devices in advance is still a smart move.
More updates are expected as new advisories may be issued through Wednesday.
