Nashville, TN – Tennessee wakes to a crisp, still morning as thin clouds drift over leaf-strewn streets, hinting at a quick shift toward wetter and more unsettled November weather by midweek. The calm start won’t last long, and early Thanksgiving travelers should watch for developing showers that could slow traffic along I-40 and I-65 as early as Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service Nashville office, warm conditions build today with highs pushing into the lower 60s. Light east flow keeps the air stable for now, but humidity rises later, setting the stage for scattered showers. Residents should prepare for slick pavement, brief visibility drops and shifting winds after sunset. Keep devices charged and allow extra time for any late-evening trips.
According to forecasters, Tuesday brings a growing chance of light rain after midday. Moisture increases fastest west of the city, where clouds thicken and showers become more numerous by late afternoon. A few bursts may reach the downtown core during the early commute. Temperatures climb into the mid-70s, well above seasonal norms and supportive of a more active Wednesday pattern.
According to emerging guidance, Wednesday draws the highest storm risk as a stronger disturbance approaches from the Southern Plains. A few thunderstorms could produce heavier rain south of Nashville, especially along the I-65 corridor. No early-season snow threat appears for Tennessee, though models hint at a Winter Tease next week across the Appalachians as colder air folds southward.
According to early weekend projections, Middle Tennessee trends milder and mostly dry. That pattern should help late-week Thanksgiving travel and offer comfortable hours for leaf cleanup and early holiday decorating before next week’s cooler shift takes hold.
