Nashville, Tennessee – Storms will fire up across Middle Tennessee on Sunday afternoon, marking the start of a volatile June stretch for the region.

According to the National Weather Service, Nashville faces a 60% chance of thunderstorms and heavy showers beginning after 4 p.m. Sunday, June 1. Some storms could produce gusty winds and localized flooding, especially along I-40 and low-lying roads. Residents should secure outdoor items, charge devices, and plan for potential evening delays.

While rain chances drop by Monday, the heat ramps up quickly. Highs will climb from the mid-80s Sunday to 91°F by Wednesday. Sunshine dominates much of the workweek, but elevated humidity will make it feel hotter—typical for early June. South winds near 10 mph could carry smoke from Canadian wildfires into the region, impacting air quality through Tuesday.

Here’s your extended five-day summer preview for Nashville:

  • Sunday (June 1): Afternoon storms likely, high near 85°F
  • Monday: Sunny and dry, high 85°F
  • Tuesday: High near 90°F, mostly sunny, light winds
  • Wednesday: Hot and humid, high of 91°F under mostly sunny skies
  • Thursday: Showers return, 50% chance, high near 90°F

Summer weather is here—and so are the risks. Stay alert for pop-up storms Sunday and rising heat through midweek. Another round of thunderstorms is expected by Thursday, June 5.
