Weather Alerts
The National Weather Service is closely monitoring the situation as severe weather conditions unfold today. A Flood Watch is in effect until Sunday morning, so stay tuned for updates and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those in prone areas should be prepared to act if flooding develops.
Severe Weather Conditions
It’s currently 10:00 AM in Nashville, TN, where temperatures hover at a mild 64°F amidst severe weather conditions. With calm winds in the air, it may feel more comfortable despite the looming threat. The humidity level remains unknown, but with the possibility of storms, you can expect an overall sticky atmosphere to gradually set in, as darkening skies hint at the storms to come. Keep an eye on the clouds—they’re not friendly today.
Weather Changes Coming
As we move through the day, anticipate an increase in precipitation, with showers and thunderstorms rolling through Middle Tennessee. The stillness of the morning will give way to heavier rain that will create a clammy feel outside, heightening the discomfort. Be ready for localized heavy downpours that will make what’s currently a humid 64°F seem much heavier and less pleasant.
Today’s Outlook
Over the next 24 hours, expect rain to start ramping up, especially this afternoon, creating a murky, wet environment. The warmth of the day will shift into a cooler evening, with puddles forming in already saturated areas. If you have to be outside, prepare for slippery streets and diminished visibility. This evening could be particularly tricky, so it’s best to think twice before venturing out.
