NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Streetlights glint off slick pavement this morning as steady showers sweep across the midstate, wrapping Nashville in fog and drizzle. The damp pattern will linger through the day before a sharp push of drier air begins clearing skies from west to east. Halloween is shaping up far different — cool, bright, and calm — but getting there will take one more day of gray and gusts.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, rain will gradually taper by Thursday morning as a weak front shifts east across Davidson and Williamson Counties. Highs today reach the upper 50s with breezy southeast winds near 15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph. Drivers on I-24, I-40, and I-65 should watch for standing water and reduced visibility through early afternoon.
Once the front passes, cooler and much drier air settles in. Thursday’s clouds will break by midday, ushering in a string of pleasant fall afternoons just in time for outdoor decorating or football prep. Friday — Halloween — looks ideal for trick-or-treating. Expect clear skies, a light breeze, and temperatures around 62°F during the day, falling into the upper 40s by evening. Jackets or layered costumes are smart picks for the evening chill.
The weekend ahead remains mild and mostly sunny, with highs in the low 60s and lows near 40°F. A weak disturbance may bring a few sprinkles late Saturday, but no major systems are expected. Clocks fall back early Sunday at 2 a.m., bringing darker evenings and the first true hint of early-November coolness.
After all, that deeper winter chill isn’t far behind.
