3/15/25: Severe Weather ALERT! Thunderstorms and Heavy Rain Expected in Nashville

Weather Alerts

Attention Nashville residents: Multiple weather alerts are currently in effect due to severe weather conditions. A Tornado Watch has been issued, valid until 9 PM CDT, signaling a serious threat across 27 counties, including Davidson and surrounding areas. Exercise extreme caution as conditions can rapidly change. Seek shelter immediately if you hear tornado sirens or see severe weather approaching.

Additionally, a Flash Flood Warning is in effect until 5:45 PM CDT, indicating ongoing heavy rain and the potential for flooding in urban areas and along small creeks. Be prepared to turn around if you encounter flooded roads—a significant number of flood-related incidents occur in vehicles, so please take this seriously.

Gusty winds with speeds reaching up to 40 mph may complicate conditions, making outdoor activities potentially hazardous. Secure objects outside and stay indoors if possible.

Current Weather

It’s currently 5:00 PM in Nashville, TN, with a temperature of 58°F and a severe weather backdrop. Humidity is high at 90%, creating a muggy feeling that clings to you as the sun dips beneath the horizon. The winds are surprisingly calm right now, but don’t let that lull you into a false sense of security; the atmosphere is charged, hinting at the storms brewing just around the corner.

Weather Changes Coming

Prepare for a dynamic evening ahead—changes are unfolding and will significantly impact how it feels outdoors. The calm will soon be disturbed as storms move in, bringing not just the anticipated rain, but also intense winds that will whip through the area. As the rain begins to fall in earnest, the humidity will turn the air heavy and thick, making it feel warmer than it really is. This isn’t an evening for casual strolls; it’s more suited for staying cozy indoors, or at least finding a safe spot while the storm rages.

Tonight’s Forecast

The night promises to be tumultuous. Conditions will continue to deteriorate, with heavy thunderstorms likely through the evening. Rainfall amounts could reach upwards of 2 to 5 inches, especially in parts of Middle Tennessee, creating a risk of flash flooding. The storms will move in, bringing with them strong winds and the potential for even more severe weather. Prepare for an unsettled night, where the temps might drop slightly but feel muggy—and therefore more uncomfortable—due to all that rain. Stay alert and stay safe!
