Nashville, Tennessee – A string of scattered showers and thunderstorms will keep Nashville and much of Tennessee unsettled through Tuesday, with rain chances peaking at 60% by August 6. Drivers and outdoor planners should expect sudden downpours, slick roads, and muggy conditions as the pattern lingers into early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, isolated storms may pop up between 1 and 3 p.m. today, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s. Rain chances increase this weekend, especially by Sunday afternoon and evening, with possible thunderstorms and a 50% chance of precipitation. By Tuesday, the likelihood of showers and a few thunderstorms jumps to 60%, with localized heavy rainfall possible.
City neighborhoods and surrounding counties—including Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford—could see brief street flooding in low-lying spots. High humidity will push heat indexes toward 90°F, so residents are advised to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity, and keep an umbrella handy. If driving, allow extra time for sudden downpours and watch for slick pavement, especially during the Monday and Tuesday morning commutes.
This unsettled stretch mirrors summer storm patterns seen in past years, but severe weather is not currently expected. More updates may follow if conditions worsen.
Warnings remain in effect through Tuesday, with the next weather update due Monday evening.
