The winds turn to the southeast today and tonight; we’ll have high clouds and highs in the mid-70’s today but tonight instead of lows in the 40’s we’ll bottom out in the low 60’s for the metro area. Big difference! It won’t last however, Fall weather will win the season. Tomorrow and Saturday we’ll actually enjoy 80 degree weather as the it becomes a little breezy as a cold front approachs. The rain chances really start to show up tomorrow afternoon; about a 40% chance tomorrow. It’s about a 60% chance of rain for Satruday with the best chances coming Saturday night and Sunday morning. The return of fall weather comes Monday as the highs stay in the 60’s. Below are the forecasted highs for our area.

Sorry about sending three times, i was having trouble trying to send this question.
I’m going to hold off on any winter predictions for another couple of weeks, although I will note that it’s not unheard of for us to have a few mornings in the 40s/lower 50s at the end of September. In Nashville this morning, we hit a low of 50. That’s well below the normal low of 59, but above the record low of 41 from 1918.
Back to the severe weather question; on Friday and Saturday there will be some wind energy for the thundershowers to tap into, but most of the upper level support will remain to our northwest. The action on Friday should be pretty spotty, and even on Saturday most of the strong thunderstorms will be west of Nashville, closer to the front. We’ll watch for the possibility of a couple severe thunderstorm warnings this weekend, but by the time the front crosses on Sunday morning, this system will be weakening and I don’t anticipate much more than rain and possible thunder. We’ll watch this system closely and let you know of any changes!
