Weather Alerts

The weather team is closely monitoring extremely severe conditions across Nashville and surrounding areas. Residents are advised to stay tuned for further updates and ensure they remain weather aware, particularly concerning flash flooding and heavy rain.

Severe Weather in Nashville

It’s currently 4:10 AM in Nashville, TN, with temperatures at a mild 61°F amidst severe weather. The air is thick, with humidity locked in at a steady 100%, making it feel much heavier outside. Winds are calm for now, but the atmosphere is charged, suggesting that storms may be close at hand. Expect rain-soaked streets, and remember that caution is essential as flash flooding is underway in various areas.

Weather Changes Coming

As we move through the early morning, expect heavy rainfall to drench the region. The already saturated grounds will continue to absorb water, leading to a sticky feeling in the air—a reminder of the impending storms. Be prepared for shifts as the wind picks up and the clouds thicken; while temperatures remain steady for now, the weight of humidity will make it feel warmer, risking discomfort for those venturing outside.

Today’s Outlook

Looking ahead, expect a significant weather evolution over the next 24 hours. Heavy rain will persist throughout the morning, with the potential for flash floods to escalate. Conditions will remain unstable, high humidity coupled with increased moisture in the air will likely result in a sultry feel this afternoon. Keep an eye out for rapid weather changes and make sure your day plans account for the potential hazards of flooding and reduced visibility due to heavy rain. Plan accordingly and prioritize safety as you navigate through the conditions.
