Nashville, Tennessee – Sweltering days and muggy nights will grip Nashville through Friday, as highs near 90°F combine with just enough humidity to keep things uncomfortable for commuters and outdoor workers alike. The National Weather Service warns a persistent stretch of heat with the risk for spotty afternoon thunderstorms, especially Wednesday through Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, daytime highs will climb from 88°F on Tuesday to 91°F by Thursday and Friday, with “feels-like” temperatures pushing higher in the afternoons. Thunderstorms are possible after 3 p.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday, but coverage remains scattered at 20 percent, meaning most neighborhoods will stay dry but a few could see a quick downpour and brief gusty winds.
Tuesday will be partly sunny and warm, but by Wednesday the heat builds, with a slight chance of afternoon storms mainly north and east of downtown. Conditions remain mostly dry at night, offering little relief as lows stay near 70°F.
Thursday and Friday repeat the pattern: mostly sunny, hot, and sticky, with an isolated storm possible each afternoon—drivers on I-40, I-24, and city streets should watch for sudden showers reducing visibility during the drive home.
The heat and humidity are forecast to stick around through the weekend, so anyone with outdoor plans should hydrate and avoid peak sun when possible. No major widespread severe weather is expected, but keep your phone charged for potential NWS alerts in case a thunderstorm pops up.
Expect the next update if stronger storms develop or if a heat advisory is issued.
