NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A gray dawn breaks over the city this Sunday morning, low clouds stretching across the skyline and pavement slick from early showers. The calm before another round of steady rain won’t last long — and early this week, Nashville’s mild streak gives way to wetter skies and the first hints of November’s chill.
Showers will increase later Sunday morning, with heavier rainfall possible through late afternoon. Winds from the east could gust up to 20 mph, making umbrellas a challenge. Drivers should plan for slower commutes and watch for ponding on secondary roads. Monday brings another wave of showers and a few rumbles of thunder, with highs near 60°F. Rain chances taper Monday night as slightly cooler air filters in from the north.
By Tuesday, conditions improve briefly — clouds linger, but drier air moves in for the afternoon. Highs reach the mid-60s before another midweek rainmaker arrives late Tuesday night into Wednesday. That system could bring another inch of rainfall across Middle Tennessee before skies finally clear by Thursday.
Looking ahead, the Halloween setup looks much more favorable. Friday evening’s trick-or-treat weather should be dry, with temperatures in the upper 50s and a light breeze — comfortable for costumes and neighborhood strolls.
After Friday’s reprieve, early long-range models hint at a cooler, more November-like pattern returning for the first weekend of the new month, signaling Nashville’s first taste of true late-fall air.
