3/14/25: Severe Weather ALERT! Brace for Gusty Storms in Nashville

Weather Alerts

Attention Nashville residents: a Flood Watch has been issued from 11:05 AM CST today until 1:00 AM CST on March 16. Excessive rainfall could lead to serious flooding in our communities, particularly in low-lying and urban areas. Be aware of flooded roads and rising waters—stay informed and take necessary precautions if you live in flood-prone locations.

Additionally, a Wind Advisory is in effect until 7:00 AM tomorrow. Expect south winds at 15 to 25 mph with gusts reaching up to 45 mph. Secure any loose outdoor items now, as strong winds may blow them away and could cause power outages. Use caution while driving, especially if you’re behind the wheel of a taller vehicle.

Current Weather

Right now, it’s 5:00 PM in Nashville, TN, and the thermometer reads a warm 79°F—perfect early spring weather. We’ve got calm winds at the moment, and with humidity sitting at 45%, it’s not overly muggy, but the air might start feeling a bit richer soon. However, don’t be fooled; with severe weather looming, things could change quickly. The sky is mostly cloudy, hinting at the rainfall that will soon blanket the city.

Weather Changes Coming

As we head into the evening, prepare for significant changes. Rain is expected to roll in shortly, contributing to a layered humidity that could make it feel heavier outside. The south winds will pick up, adding a briskness that could catch you off guard if you step out. The combination of increasing winds and impending rain can shift the mood of the evening; it will feel less like a serene spring night and more like nature’s raw energy is at play.

Overnight and Tomorrow

Looking ahead to tonight, keep an eye on those flood risks as rain begins late this evening and could persist into tomorrow. Anticipate temperatures to remain relatively stable in the high 60s overnight, but with the rain, it might not feel as warm. Tomorrow, we’ll likely wake up to the sound of rain, with amounts ranging from 2 to possibly 5 inches—and maybe even more localized swells. Stay prepared, secure your belongings, and keep your plans flexible as we navigate through this dynamic weather ahead!
