Nashville, Tenn. – Drivers across Tennessee should prepare for spotty thunderstorms late Saturday, with the greatest impact expected along I-40 through Nashville. Rain could create slick evening commutes before skies clear overnight. Sunday marks a sharp turn toward drier, calmer weather.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a 40% chance of showers and storms remains through 7 p.m. Saturday before conditions improve. Winds shift north overnight, keeping lows near 69 degrees. By Sunday, skies turn bright and dry, with highs around 90 degrees and light breezes offering some relief.
The storm window is brief but could create localized hazards. Motorists on I-65 and I-24 should reduce speed if heavy rain develops, particularly around Davidson and Williamson counties. Outdoor plans are safer Sunday, with sunny skies dominating through the start of the week.
