Weather Alerts

Attention, Nashville residents: A Tornado Watch is currently in effect until 9 PM CDT this evening. You must remain vigilant—severe weather conditions are creating an environment conducive to tornado development across the area.

This Tornado Watch spans 34 counties in Middle Tennessee, including Davidson and surrounding areas, putting many communities at risk. In addition, a Flash Flood Warning is also underway until 3:45 PM CDT for Davidson County and neighboring regions; expect heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding, especially in urban areas and low-lying locations.

Take action: seek shelter if you observe storm activity, and stay inside during the storm’s height. Remember: turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads.

Current Weather

It’s currently 1:00 PM in Nashville, TN, with temperatures sitting at a mild 62°F coupled with oppressive humidity at 84%. Winds are calm for now, but the air feels thick, almost stifling, as heavy clouds loom overhead. Out there, it’s not just about the temperature; it’s about the weight of the atmosphere pressing down, pregnant with the threat of storms.

Weather Changes Coming

As we progress through the afternoon, conditions will shift rapidly. The calm before the storm isn’t just a phrase—it’s a sensation you can feel in your bones as the pressure builds. Expect increasing gusts of winds, potentially up to 45 mph, shaking the trees and rattling your windows. The humidity may make it feel even warmer than it is, but don’t let that fool you; storm systems are ushering in sharp changes.

Tonight’s Forecast

Looking ahead, prepare for an evolving landscape. As evening descends, the risk for severe weather escalates with potential thunderstorms becoming more likely, likely to carry heavy rain. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches are expected, with localized pockets possibly exceeding even 6 inches, leading to more significant flooding. The warmth of the day will give way to cooler temperatures as night falls, creating an unsettling juxtaposition between the balmy daytime feel and the incoming chill of stormy winds. Stay alert throughout the night; the unpredictable spring weather is knocking on our door.
