Middle Tennessee is set for a stretch of sunny, dry weather through the weekend, with temperatures climbing into the 90s by the Fourth of July. High pressure will bring dry conditions and plenty of sunshine, making it a perfect time for outdoor activities.
However, as the holiday weekend comes to an end, rain chances will begin to rise, especially starting Monday. Here’s a look at what to expect in the coming days.
Sunny and Dry Conditions Through Sunday
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, lingering showers will clear up by Tuesday night, leaving behind a dry and sunny pattern for the rest of the week. There will be little to no rain expected through Saturday, with temperatures ranging from 82°F to 96°F.
Early in the week, humidity will remain low, but it will begin to rise as we approach the holiday weekend.
Daytime temperatures in cities like Murfreesboro, Franklin, and Clarksville will climb into the mid-90s from Friday through Sunday. Despite the heat, overnight lows will remain mild, staying in the upper 60s to low 70s.
The dry weather is perfect for travel, fireworks displays, and outdoor events, but it’s important for residents to stay hydrated and take breaks from the sun during the hottest parts of the day.
Hot Conditions for the Weekend
As the holiday weekend progresses, the heat will intensify. The high temperatures in the mid-90s, combined with increasing humidity, will make it feel even hotter.
While it’s a great time to enjoy outdoor activities, people are advised to limit time outdoors during peak heat hours, typically between noon and 3 p.m. Staying hydrated and wearing sunscreen will be key to staying safe in the heat.
Rain Chances Return Monday
Rain chances will start to rise late Sunday into Monday, with a 20–30% chance of showers. This may affect the beginning of the workweek and could impact some outdoor plans. However, for now, firework celebrations on the Fourth of July are expected to remain unaffected by rain, though residents should continue to monitor weather updates as the holiday approaches.
