If you’re the kind of person who checks the weather app five times a day, this week will keep you busy. Music City is in for a wild ride, with sunshine, storms, temperature swings, and everything in between. Whether you’re planning a weekend barbecue or just trying to avoid getting drenched, here’s what’s coming your way.
Saturday, March 29: A Gray but Mild Start
Saturday kicks off the weekend on a mild but cloudy note. Expect mostly overcast skies with scattered showers in the afternoon. A quick thunderstorm isn’t out of the question, so if you’re heading outside, keep an umbrella within reach. Highs will hit a comfortable 75°F (24°C), and the evening will stay mild, cooling down to 64°F (18°C). Perfect for a laid-back Saturday night—just maybe not under the stars.
Sunday, March 30: Storm Watch – Stay Weather-Ready!
Sunday is the day to stay on high alert. A strong storm system is rolling in, bringing the potential for heavy rain, strong winds, and even a few tornadoes. The day might start out calm, but don’t be fooled—by afternoon, thunderstorms could quickly turn severe, with gusts up to 60 mph and possible hail.
With a high of 78°F (25°C) and a low of 56°F (14°C), the warm, muggy air will set the stage for stormy weather. Charge your devices, tie down anything that could blow away, and make sure you have a plan in case of severe weather.
Monday, March 31: Cleaning Up After the Storms
Monday starts off a little messy, with lingering showers and maybe a leftover morning thunderstorm. But don’t worry—it won’t last all day. By the afternoon, the skies will begin to clear, and sunshine will start peeking through. Temperatures will take a dip, with highs settling at 62°F (17°C). The nighttime chill will be real, with temps dropping to 40°F (5°C). If you’re heading out in the evening, you’ll definitely need a jacket.
Tuesday, April 1: The Perfect Spring Day
No joke—Tuesday is shaping up to be gorgeous. Expect plenty of sunshine, just a few passing clouds, and a high of 68°F (20°C). Ideal for an outdoor lunch, a park stroll, or just soaking in some much-needed calm before midweek storms return. The night will be cool but pleasant, around 59°F (15°C).
Wednesday, April 2: Cranking Up the Heat—Then the Storms
By midweek, things heat up—literally. Temperatures soar to 83°F (28°C), making it feel almost like summer. But with the warmth comes instability, and afternoon thunderstorms are likely. Some storms could be severe, so stay weather-aware and check updates throughout the day.
Thursday, April 3: Sticky, Warm, and Stormy
Thursday keeps the warm, humid trend going, with highs near 79°F (26°C). Clouds will build throughout the day, and by the afternoon, showers and thunderstorms will likely make an appearance. If you’ve got outdoor plans, have a backup indoor option just in case.
Friday, April 4: Ending the Week with More Rain
Friday stays warm and unsettled, with highs around 82°F (28°C). More showers and storms are on the menu, so keep an eye on the forecast if you’re planning anything outside. If you’re hoping for a dry weekend, cross your fingers—things are still looking unpredictable.
How to Stay Ahead of the Weather This Week
- Be Storm-Smart: Sunday and Wednesday’s storms could pack a punch. Check for weather updates frequently.
- Prepare for Power Outages: Strong winds and heavy rain could knock out power—make sure you’ve got flashlights and backup chargers ready.
- Tie Down Outdoor Items: Don’t let your patio furniture or trash cans become flying hazards in gusty winds.
- Watch for Flooding: If roads start flooding, don’t risk driving through—it takes just a few inches of water to stall a car.
- Have a Plan: Know where to go if a tornado warning is issued. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
