NASHVILLE, TN – A quiet, golden dawn opened across Middle Tennessee Saturday, the air mild and still before a run of wet weather begins. Roads glisten faintly from early dew, but by Sunday afternoon, umbrellas will replace sunglasses as widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms move into the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, Saturday will remain partly sunny with highs near 73°F and light east winds. It’s an ideal day for fall festivals, yard cleanup, or one last outdoor run before clouds thicken. By Sunday, a deepening southern flow will pull moisture northward, bringing an 80% chance of rain after midday and gusts up to 20 mph.
Heavier showers are expected Sunday evening through Monday, especially along I-40 and across Davidson and Williamson Counties. Brief downpours may cause ponding on roads during the Monday morning commute. Highs will fall into the low 60s, holding near that mark through Tuesday as the unsettled pattern lingers.
Rain chances remain near 40–60% through midweek before conditions finally dry late Wednesday. Despite the damp stretch, temperatures stay mild — good news for early trick-or-treat planners. Long-range models hint at cooler, more seasonal air by Halloween, with lows possibly dipping into the 40s.
Residents should keep storm drains clear and plan for wet travel windows from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday. For now, enjoy today’s dry warmth — after all, a chilly November lies just beyond the rain.
