Nashville, TN – Fall sunlight pours over the Music City this Friday morning, with calm skies and crisp air marking a brief pause before another change rolls through. After a bright, breezy day near 69°F, clouds begin building Saturday, setting the stage for rain and scattered showers Sunday across Middle Tennessee.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, a developing system moving east from the Plains will bring a 50–80% chance of rain by Sunday night, especially along the I-65 corridor. Gusts up to 20 mph could accompany the heaviest bands, with damp roads expected for evening travel.
Friday and most of Saturday will stay dry and mild — perfect for outdoor plans, football tailgates, or last-minute yard cleanup before rain moves in. Highs climb into the low 70s Saturday before dropping slightly with the return of showers Sunday.
Early next week, clouds linger with a few leftover sprinkles Monday, followed by gradual clearing and cooler highs in the 60s by midweek. Nights will trend cooler too, hinting at the seasonal transition ahead.
While Tennessee won’t see the hard freeze sweeping parts of the Midwest, winter vibes are creeping closer as October winds down. Halloween night next Friday looks seasonably cool, possibly dipping into the 40s — ideal for trick-or-treaters layered under costumes.
For now, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, but keep the umbrella handy for Sunday’s turn toward rain — it’s the kind of pattern shift that often signals November’s early chill is just around the corner.
