Attention Nashville! A Flood Watch is in effect until 1:00 AM CDT March 16th. Excessive rainfall is expected, with totals ranging from 2 to 5 inches across the area. Areas west of I-65 could see even more, with localized amounts exceeding 6 inches. This rainfall will cause rivers, creeks, and low-lying areas to flood.

Current Weather

It’s currently 5:09 AM in Nashville, TN, with a warm temperature of 71°F. The humidity sits at 59%, and the air feels heavy with moisture. Winds are calm right now, but the atmosphere is charged with the potential for severe weather, creating a palpable tension in the cool morning air. The sky is overcast, hinting at the storms brewing on the horizon.

Weather Changes Coming

Prepare for dramatic shifts as the day unfolds. Rain showers will roll in shortly, increasing in intensity, making your surroundings feel damp and oppressive. The calm winds will transform into powerful gusts, creating a brisk, unsettling atmosphere.
