Tennessee is leaning into summerlike warmth, but the calm feel won’t last as storm chances begin to creep in later today. You’ll feel it in the air first—mild, slightly humid, and breezy—before clouds thicken and rain chances return.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, temperatures climb to near 83°F with southwest winds between 10 and 15 mph, gusting up to 25 mph. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms develops later in the day, with better chances arriving after evening hours.
Across Nashville, drivers on I-40, I-65, and Briley Parkway should stay alert for changing conditions late in the day. Dry roads could quickly turn slick once rain begins. In Murfreesboro and Franklin, brief downpours and lightning may interrupt evening plans. Keep umbrellas and rain gear within reach, and allow extra time if heading out.
Storm chances ramp up into midweek. By Wednesday, scattered showers and storms develop by late morning and continue into the afternoon. Rain coverage increases further heading into Thursday night, when more widespread storms move through the region.
By Friday and Saturday, additional rounds of showers and storms remain possible, keeping the ground damp and conditions unsettled. This active spring pattern could affect early April plans and even lead to minor ponding in low-lying areas.
Temperatures stay warm through the stretch, peaking in the mid-80s before a cooler push arrives by Sunday.
