Nashville, Tenn. – Drivers and residents across Middle Tennessee should brace for a stretch of rising heat as sunny skies push daytime highs into the mid-90s through early next week. Nashville could reach 97°F by Monday, with little relief beyond calm overnight lows in the mid-60s.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, skies will remain mostly clear with light east to southeast winds under 5 mph through Wednesday. Friday begins near 92°F, climbing steadily to 94°F Saturday and 95°F Sunday before topping out near 97°F Monday afternoon.
The extended heat may strain outdoor workers and vulnerable populations, especially during the early afternoon when temperatures peak. Officials recommend limiting strenuous activity to morning or evening hours, staying hydrated, and checking on elderly neighbors. While overnight lows dip into the lower to mid-60s, humidity and calm winds will make cooling limited without air conditioning.
No rain is expected during this stretch, meaning lawns and gardens will dry quickly, and wildfire risk could climb in drier rural counties across Middle Tennessee. Residents should avoid unnecessary burning and remain alert to any advisories.
Conditions stay hot through midweek, with highs near 96°F Tuesday and Wednesday.
