Nashville and much of Middle Tennessee are in for a hot stretch this week, with summerlike temperatures holding steady. Afternoons will stay toasty, while rain chances remain low until the weekend brings a bit of relief.
Hot and Dry Through Friday
From Tuesday through Friday, highs will climb into the upper 80s and mid-90s, making it feel like midsummer. Skies will stay mostly sunny, with only slim chances of isolated showers on Tuesday and Friday. According to the National Weather Service, these brief showers will be highly localized and short-lived.
Weekend Pattern Change
The weather will shift slightly this weekend. Saturday will still be hot, reaching the low 90s, but added cloud cover and humidity could make it feel less harsh. Scattered showers (20–30% chance) may develop in the afternoon.
By Sunday, temperatures will dip into the 80s with a higher chance of showers (30–40%) during the afternoon and evening. This will be the best chance for the area to get some rain and a break from the heat.
Safety Tips During the Heat
With temperatures climbing into the 90s, residents should:
Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Use sunscreen and take breaks in shaded or cool areas.
Keep an eye on children, pets, and older adults, as they are more vulnerable to heat.
