NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A wet and gusty start to the weekend will give way to a crisp, sunny stretch as a fall cold front sweeps across Middle Tennessee. Heavy rain and a few thunderstorms will pass through today into early Sunday, making for slick travel along I-40 and I-24. Residents should watch for ponding on roads and brief gusts reaching up to 30 mph before the weather calms.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, widespread showers and a few embedded storms are expected through late tonight. Rainfall totals may approach an inch in spots, particularly across Davidson and Williamson Counties. By Sunday morning, drier air moves in from the northwest, ushering in cooler temperatures and sunny skies for the start of the new week.
Sunday will still bring some lingering clouds and breezy winds, but by Monday, the area turns warm and clear again with highs near 72°F — perfect for fall decorating, leaf viewing, or local festivals. Cooler nights will follow, with lows dipping into the low 40s.
Looking ahead, the weather pattern remains calm through midweek. Sunshine will dominate Tuesday and Wednesday before another weak front approaches late Thursday, possibly bringing a few light showers. Fall’s charm will be in full display across the Nashville metro, with ideal conditions for pumpkin patch visits and outdoor gatherings.
