Weather Alerts

Please stay tuned for updates and be prepared to take action if necessary. Remember to stay weather aware, particularly in low-lying areas prone to flooding.

Severe Weather Now

It’s currently 3:45 AM in Nashville, TN, with temperatures hovering at 54°F amid severe weather. The air is saturated, with humidity sitting at a heavy 100%, making it feel damp and uncomfortable outside. Although winds are calm at the moment, the atmosphere is thick with the possibility of downpours and thunderstorms.

Weather Changes Coming

As we move through the morning, anticipate significant changes as multiple rounds of rain approach. The heavy humidity will make it feel even warmer, but don’t be fooled; the impending storms will change that quickly. Get ready for a muggy atmosphere as rain begins to fall, potentially laced with bursts of thunder that could rattle the tranquility of the early hours.

Overnight and Tomorrow

Looking ahead, expect conditions to remain unsettled as we transition into the day. Rain is forecasted to persist throughout the morning, with localized heavy rainfall possibly creating visibility difficulties and slippery roads. The street flooding could affect your morning commute, so plan accordingly. As the day progresses, things may lighten up slightly, but don’t pack away your umbrella just yet, as additional rainfall is still expected into the evening. Stay prepared and safe, Nashville!
