3/14/25: Severe Weather Alert! Thunderstorms Bring Heavy Rain to Nashville

Weather Alerts

Attention Nashville residents! We have serious weather conditions to discuss. A Flood Watch has been issued for much of Middle Tennessee, expiring at 1:00 AM CDT Sunday, March 16. With significant rainfall expected this weekend—between 2 to 5 inches, with localized higher amounts—be prepared for potential flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Excessive runoff could result in rivers and creeks rising out of their banks.

Additionally, a Wind Advisory is in effect, forecasting south winds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts hitting up to 45 mph. This advisory is active from 10 PM tonight through midnight Saturday. Secure any loose items outside, as gusty winds may cause damage or create hazards. Driving could be challenging, particularly for larger vehicles.

Stay alert! Monitor updates carefully and take necessary precautions if you reside in prone flood areas or need to be out and about as these strong winds develop.

Current Weather

It’s currently 8:01 PM in Nashville, TN, with a temperature of 73°F. The air feels warm and a bit humid, with a relative humidity of 41%, making it a comfortable early spring evening. The winds are calm right now, giving a false sense of serenity amidst the brewing storm clouds. However, the atmosphere is electric with the potential for severe weather, creating a tense feeling in the air.

Weather Changes Coming

As we shift into tonight, don’t let that calm fool you—the weather is about to take a turn. Increasing wind speeds late this evening will make it feel cooler outside, especially as gusts begin to whip through the city, rattling loose branches and blowing around stray debris. With storms looming, prepare for a drastic change in your evening plans; the once-peaceful night will soon hold the potential for chaotic conditions as severe weather rolls into town.

Overnight and Tomorrow

Looking ahead, expect weather conditions to evolve dramatically through the night into tomorrow. The temperature will hold steady for a while, but as the rain begins, you’ll notice increasing gusts making it feel even chillier. A series of rain showers will develop, with heavier bursts expected as we move through Saturday. Plan to stay indoors if possible; tomorrow’s weather will challenge any outdoor plans. Keep your phone handy for updates as we track this rainy situation together!
