Weather Alerts
The National Weather Service is actively monitoring conditions in Nashville and surrounding regions. A Flood Watch is currently in effect through Sunday morning, following heavy rainfall expected to lead to flooded streets and rising creeks. Please stay tuned for updates and remain weather aware, especially if you live in areas prone to flooding.
Severe Weather Update
It’s currently 4:10 AM in Nashville, TN, with temperatures at a warm 75°F, but severe weather is impacting the area. The humidity sits at 69%, making it feel a bit heavier outside, while calm winds provide little relief from the sticky atmosphere. The sky is overcast, wrapped in a blanket of clouds, setting an ominous tone as we brace for potential storms. Urban areas might experience difficulties as the ground saturates, ready to soak up more rain.
Weather Changes Coming
With several rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected throughout the day, conditions are set to change rapidly. The humidity will linger, creating a mugginess that might feel uncomfortable as temperatures remain steady. As storms develop, the air might become charged, making it feel more intense outside. If you’re stepping out, prepare for an increasing chance of downpours and possible flash flooding.
Today’s Outlook
Over the next 24 hours, expect rain showers to move in and out, with possible thunderstorms developing later this morning. The temperature is likely to stay around the mid-70s but will feel cooler as rain begins to fall. Nightfall could bring a dip in temperatures, making it feel refreshing, but be wary of the muddy streets and puddles that may linger long after the rain has passed. Keep your plans flexible, and if out driving, watch for those pesky low-water crossings!
