Tennessee, Nashville – Bright sunshine fades fast as a soaking February system lines up for the weekend, setting the stage for steady rain and slick roads before a sharp President’s Day warm-up.
Blue skies dominate now, with temperatures climbing toward 61 by afternoon. Calm winds turn light from the southeast. According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, rain chances jump to 50% after 4 p.m. Saturday, then surge to 90% Saturday night with showers becoming widespread.
Expect wet pavement along I-40, I-65 and Briley Parkway by late Saturday. Rain continues into Sunday with a 100% chance and highs near 59. South winds shift northeast during the day, adding a raw feel despite mild readings.
Plan extra travel time Sunday. Ponding may develop on low-lying roads. While temperatures stay well above freezing, February is notorious for flash-freeze setups if skies clear and readings drop quickly after rainfall. Bridges cool fastest.
Conditions improve Sunday night with only a slight 20% shower chance before midnight. President’s Day Monday turns mostly sunny and warmer, with highs near 65. Tuesday pushes even milder, near 70, under mostly cloudy skies.
Meteorologists now track a broader warm front pattern across the central U.S. The 6- to 10-day outlook favors above-normal temperatures through midweek and beyond. Spring vibes build as highs trend into the upper 60s and low 70s next week.
