Weather Alerts

Attention, Nashville residents: we are actively monitoring severe conditions as multiple weather warnings remain in effect. It’s crucial to stay alert and prepared, especially if you’re in areas prone to flooding. Please keep tuned to updates and be cautious if heading out.

Severe Weather Conditions

It’s currently 3:45 AM in Nashville, TN, with temperatures sitting at 61°F amidst severe weather conditions. The atmosphere is thick with humidity at 100%, making the air feel clammier than usual. Winds are calm for now, leaving behind a stillness that amplifies the sound of falling rain. The sky is enveloped in dark clouds, heavy with the weight of the ongoing downpours, and the world outside is shrouded in a moody haze.

Weather Changes Coming

Keep an eye out, as significant changes are on the horizon. Although winds are light now, the heavy humidity will likely make conditions feel stifling. Expect a continuation of rain as the early morning progresses, with heavy downpours contributing to flash flooding risks. This combination of weighty air and rain means stepping outside could feel like walking through a damp sponge.

Overnight and Tomorrow

As we transition into the early morning and on into Sunday, conditions will evolve. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist, resulting in further rainfall and potential flooding in many areas. Residents should prepare for a wet day ahead, with temperatures expected to hover around the low 60s. Stream conditions are a critical concern; rivers and creeks are prone to overflowing, so if you need to venture out, be cautious of local roads. Tomorrow, the weather may slightly improve, but expect the residual effects of high moisture and cooler pockets of air lingering into the afternoon.
