Pleasant weather with seasonal temperatures and dry conditions through Monday. Warming up next week with medium rain chances developing by the weekend. HIGH PRESSURE HOLDS THE LINE TONIGHT! NORTHWESTERLY FLOW FILTERS HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE SKY! WE ARE TRAPPED BETWEEN RIDGE AND TROFF! LOCKED IN THE CALM BEFORE THE HEAT BREAKS THROUGH! The northerly breeze carries no moisture! Comfortable air hiding the burn! The ridge out west is building up force! There is no turning back! Pushing the mercury up to the top! Upper eighties to low nineties won't stop! Searching the sky for a sign of relief! Not a drop since nineteen sixty-three! SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE! HUMIDITY RISING LIKE STEAM FROM THE CONCRETE! THE LARGE TROFF OUT WEST IS UNCERTAIN AND SLOW! AN ENTIRE MONTH OF DRYNESS CRUSHING THE GROUND! Nashville Airport stands bone dry! A trace or less for thirty days! Will the weekend break the drought?! OR WILL WE BURN IN THE HEAT?! Pushing the mercury up to the top! Upper eighties to low nineties won't stop! Searching the sky for a sign of relief! Not a drop since nineteen sixty-three! WE WAIT FOR THE WEEKEND! MEDIUM CHANCES OF RAIN! NINETEEN SIXTY-THREE! NOT A DROP! NOT A DROP!

KEY MESSAGES
Updated at 1108 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026
- Pleasant weather with seasonal temperatures and dry conditions through Monday.
- Warming up next week with medium rain chances developing by the weekend.
SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Monday Night) Issued at 1108 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026
Cool and dry conditions persist tonight as high pressure solidly remains over the area.
Northwesterly flow is filtering in patches of high clouds, leading to partly cloudy skies overnight.
The pleasant weather continues Sunday with warm afternoon highs in the 80s, low humidity, and a light northerly breeze.
We will remained fixed between ridging to the west and troughing to the east through Monday.
This will keep very comfortable temperature and humidity levels around through then.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1108 PM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026
Ridging will continue to build into the area by the middle of the week, pushing temperatures back up into the upper 80s to low 90s.
Southerly flow will return during the time, unfortunately bringing higher humidity back.
A large trough will develop out west near the end of the week, but uncertainty remains in its eventual path and how quickly it will move.
On the whole, things will remain dry through at least Friday with low to medium rain chances returning to the forecast this weekend.
For those keeping up, if we finish the month of September without another drop of rain in Nashville, this will be the first time since October of 1963 that BNA has measured a trace or less or precipitation for an entire month.
Needless to say, some rain would be great, but the pattern is not in favor of it right now.
