Weather Alerts

Severe Weather Update

It’s currently 4:10 AM in Nashville, TN, with temperatures at a mild 61°F, but don’t let the warmth fool you; we are under severe weather conditions. The humidity is hanging at a staggering 100%, making the air feel heavy and saturated. Wind has calmed to a stillness, allowing the oppressive moisture to linger. The sky is shrouded in gloom, with thick cloud cover and a chance of thunderstorms ahead, creating an atmosphere that’s unsettling yet expectant.

Weather Changes Coming

As we move through the morning, prepare for significant shifts in weather. The forecast calls for more rain, with heavy downpours expected to soak the already drenched ground. This will elevate humidity even further, amplifying that heavy feeling as you step outside. Expect escalating rain rates, which could lead to flash flooding alongside intermittent thunderstorms, making any outdoor activities impractical and potentially unsafe.

Today’s Outlook

Looking ahead to the rest of the day, conditions will continue to evolve. Rain will persist, likely peaking through the morning and early afternoon. Expect cool temperatures from the excess moisture, with the air feeling even chillier as the rain falls. Anticipate localized flooding in poor drainage areas, and steer clear of low-lying spots. By the afternoon, rain may taper off, leading to a slight chance of clearing skies, but don’t let your guard down—the lingering threat of flooding remains high. Stay safe out there, Nashville!
