Weather Alerts

Nashville, we are closely monitoring weather conditions as we face severe weather today. Stay tuned for updates, and remember to stay weather aware in light of multiple advisories.

Severe Weather Conditions

It’s currently 12:40 PM in Nashville, TN, with temperatures at a mild 68°F, amidst severe weather conditions. The humidity sits at 53%, which could give you that sticky feeling in the air, especially as clouds begin to gather. Calm winds are currently a reprieve, but hold on, as we brace ourselves for the South winds, which will ramp up to 15 to 25 mph with gusts reaching up to 45 mph later today, shaking loose the remnants of early spring.

The sky is overcast, shrouding the vibrant blooms of the season, creating a heavy atmosphere that hints at more than just rain. With conditions like these, it’s wise to secure any loose outdoor items before the gusts kick in.

Wind Changes Coming

As the afternoon progresses, we will see a notable shift in conditions, culminating in those strong South winds making it feel chiller than the actual temperature suggests. This means you may want to layer up; the wind chill effect can cool you down significantly, making for a brisk afternoon if you step outside.

Moreover, the already elevated humidity will contribute to that heavier feeling, especially with the potential for more rain in the forecast. Keep an eye out—the weather is about to take a turn, and being prepared will make all the difference in comfort.

Tonight’s Forecast

As we move into the evening, expect a continuation of those gusty winds until around 10 PM. Be cautious on the roads, particularly if you’re in a taller vehicle—strong crosswinds could make driving tricky.

Temperatures are expected to drop, creating a chill as we settle into the night, while the risk for localized flooding continues with elevated river levels. If you’re out and about, be mindful of potential roadside closures or flooded areas, especially near the Cumberland and Stones Rivers.

Tonight’s conditions will serve as a reminder that spring can be unpredictable; stay informed and adjust your plans accordingly as we gear up for the rest of the week.
