Nashville, TN – Summer-like warmth is settling back into Middle Tennessee, but not without some midweek disruptions. Storms are likely to move through the Nashville area Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing travel delays and the chance for localized downpours—especially along I-40 and secondary roads.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a 20% chance of showers will develop Wednesday evening, increasing to a 50% chance of thunderstorms by Thursday night. Highs will climb to the low 80s, while overnight lows stay in the low 60s, keeping roads damp and slick during both morning and evening commutes.
Residents in Davidson, Williamson, and Rutherford counties should stay alert for lightning and brief periods of heavy rainfall Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. Outdoor plans may need adjustments, especially on Thursday between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., when isolated storms are most likely. Calm winds will shift to light northwesterlies Thursday night, improving air quality but not fully clearing the skies.
Looking ahead, Friday brings another 40% chance of rain before the weekend dries out. Saturday and Sunday appear mostly sunny with highs in the mid-80s—classic early summer conditions for the region. Monday continues the warming trend, peaking near 87°F.
What’s Next:
Storm chances drop sharply after Friday, giving way to several dry, sunny days. But with temps pushing into the high 80s, be sure to hydrate, use sun protection, and check in on vulnerable neighbors.
