Hello, Nashville! The weather in Music City is about to give us a little bit of everything this week—sunny days, thunderstorms, chilly winds, and even some snowflakes. If you’ve been enjoying the mild March temperatures, get ready for a rollercoaster ride in the next few days. Whether you’re heading to Broadway for some live music, catching a Titans game, or simply enjoying a stroll in Centennial Park, you’ll need to be prepared for a range of conditions. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect and how to stay ahead of the weather changes.
Tuesday, March 18: A Beautiful Start to the Week
The weather kicks off with a pleasant, sunny day. If you have outdoor plans, today is your day to enjoy the sunshine! Expect partly sunny skies with temperatures reaching a warm 76°F (24°C) in the afternoon. It’s a great time to get outside and explore Nashville’s vibrant neighborhoods or take a walk along the Cumberland River. The only catch? Winds will pick up later in the day, so make sure your outdoor items like chairs and tables are secured.
As the sun sets, temperatures will cool down to 51°F (10°C), so it’s a good idea to bring a light jacket if you plan on staying out later. Overall, it’s a mild and breezy day that feels like the perfect preview of spring.
Wednesday, March 19: Storms Brewing in the Afternoon
Get ready for a change in the weather on Wednesday. While the morning will start off relatively calm, things are about to get interesting. Winds will pick up, and by afternoon, thunderstorms will roll into the area. These storms could bring damaging winds, heavy rain, and possibly even hail, so be sure to stay alert and monitor any weather updates.
Temperatures will hover around 71°F (22°C) during the day, feeling a little warmer before the storms hit. The wind will add a chill to the air, though, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the sky as the stormfront approaches. By evening, temperatures will drop sharply to 39°F (4°C), so if you’re out and about when the storms arrive, be prepared for a sudden cool-down.
Thursday, March 20: A Cold Morning and a Clearer Afternoon
Thursday will bring a shift in the weather—definitely a day to bundle up! After a cloudy start, the sun should make an appearance in the afternoon, but it will still feel pretty chilly with temperatures only reaching a high of 48°F (9°C). Winds will make it feel even colder, so you’ll want to layer up, especially if you’re planning to spend any time outside.
By nightfall, the temperature will drop further to a low of 29°F (-2°C), so be prepared for a cold evening. It’s a good day to stay cozy indoors, but if you need to be out, a warm coat, scarf, and gloves will do the trick.
Friday, March 21: A Milder, Sunny Day
After the cold front from Thursday, Friday will feel much milder and sunnier. Temperatures will climb to a high of 62°F (17°C), and you can expect plenty of sunshine throughout the day. This will be a great opportunity to enjoy some fresh air, whether you’re grabbing coffee at a local cafe or visiting one of Nashville’s many parks. It won’t be too warm, but it’ll certainly be pleasant compared to the cooler temperatures earlier in the week.
In the evening, temperatures will drop to around 46°F (8°C), so a light jacket should suffice if you’re out and about after dark.
Saturday, March 22: Breezy, but Mild
Saturday will start with breezy conditions, but overall, it’ll be a relatively mild day. Expect a mix of clouds and sunshine, with temperatures reaching a high of 65°F (18°C). If you’re planning to head out for a fun day in Nashville, whether it’s a trip to the Nashville Zoo or a walk along the Greenway, the weather should cooperate—just watch out for those gusty winds.
By night, temperatures will dip to 39°F (4°C), so once again, you’ll want to layer up for any evening plans.
Sunday, March 23: Thunderstorms on the Horizon
Sunday brings a potential return of severe weather. Expect a mostly cloudy day with a thunderstorm likely arriving late in the afternoon. These storms could bring heavy rain and strong winds, so if you have plans to be outdoors, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast.
Temperatures will climb to a high of 68°F (20°C), but the stormy conditions will quickly make things feel cooler. By the evening, expect temperatures to fall to 47°F (9°C).
Monday, March 24: A Wet Start to the Week
The week will end with rain, so get ready for a somewhat soggy Monday. There will be a few showers throughout the day, but nothing too heavy. Temperatures will hover around 65°F (18°C), and it’ll be a relatively mild start to the workweek. If you have outdoor activities planned, don’t forget your umbrella and waterproof shoes.
