Nashville, Tennessee – Summer heat arrives in full force Tuesday as temperatures in Nashville climb to 91°F under clear skies — a brief calm before storms later this week. South winds up to 10 mph will push warm air into the region, creating ideal conditions for early June sun exposure and potential heat fatigue, especially for drivers along I-40 and I-24.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, June 3rd will stay dry, but that changes by Wednesday afternoon when showers and thunderstorms may begin to develop after 1 p.m. A 20% chance of rain increases through Thursday, with more widespread storm activity expected Thursday and Friday, including the potential for localized flooding and lightning.
Tuesday night remains mostly clear with a low around 72°F, providing limited relief from the day’s heat. By midweek, humidity will rise and storm chances increase, making outdoor plans riskier by late Wednesday. Winds may gust up to 20 mph in some areas.
Motorists should stay alert for changing road conditions later this week. Power outages, slick roads, and sudden downpours could cause delays, particularly during afternoon commutes. Residents should prepare by charging devices and checking for updated watches or warnings.
