Heat Advisory Issued for Nashville: Heat Index Nearing 110°F
A Heat Advisory is in effect for Davidson and Williamson Counties in Middle Tennessee through Sunday, August 16, 2026. Actual air temperatures are expected to reach the upper 90s to near 100°F (37-38°C), with dewpoints in the low to mid-70s°F (21-24°C). This combination will result in heat index values approaching 110°F (43°C) each afternoon. While some models suggest temperatures could hit triple digits, recent rainfall may prevent this. Scattered showers and storms are possible on Thursday and Friday, but the weekend is expected to remain dry with minimal rain chances. The heat is expected to persist into early next week, with slight relief as highs dip into the mid-90s°F (35°C) by midweek. (Source: Nashville Severe Weather, published August 13, 2026, 15:19 GMT)
