Nashville, Tennessee – Drivers across Middle Tennessee faced patchy dense fog early Wednesday, with the thickest pockets developing along the Cumberland Plateau and stretching into the Nashville metro area. Roads could remain slick through the morning as showers move in and visibility drops.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, rain and thunderstorm chances increase again late Wednesday, with variable rainfall continuing into Saturday. While severe weather is unlikely over the next week, periods of rain could create localized travel delays—especially for those commuting on I-40, I-24, and routes through Murfreesboro and Cookeville. Temperatures will stay unseasonably warm, ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s through early next week.
Residents should plan for reduced visibility during morning commutes, allow extra time for travel, and keep headlights on in low-visibility areas. Scattered rain may cause slick spots on area highways, especially during the Thursday and Friday morning rush.
Long-range outlooks favor above-normal temperatures and higher than average rainfall through next week, a pattern not seen since last spring. Further weather updates or advisories may be issued as rainfall persists, with the next major update expected by Friday morning.
