NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tennesseans will see another stretch of hot, sunny days as September winds down, with temperatures near 90°F by Monday. Drivers should stay alert on I-40 and I-65 as heat and glare could create tough travel conditions during peak hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, highs will climb to 88°F on Monday under clear skies, keeping conditions dry but warmer than normal for late September. Winds from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph will provide only minimal relief from the heat.
Across Middle Tennessee, areas including Franklin, Murfreesboro, and Gallatin will experience similar heat, with sunny afternoons and cooler evenings. Overnight lows will stay in the low-60s, allowing some nighttime relief but keeping mornings warm and muggy.
Travelers on I-24 between Nashville and Clarksville can expect clear skies through Tuesday. While conditions look calm, officials urge drivers to wear sunglasses and plan for reduced visibility at sunrise and sunset due to glare.
The first hints of October’s cooler fall weather arrive midweek, with Wednesday’s high dropping slightly to 82°F. Clouds will build Tuesday night into Wednesday, signaling the change. By Thursday and Friday, highs fall into the lower 80s, with mornings feeling cooler and more seasonable.
Residents should use this weekend to prepare for the coming seasonal shift. Charge devices, schedule outdoor work early in the day, and monitor updates as October begins.
Warnings remain unlikely, but the heat will linger through Monday before the fall pattern begins midweek.
