Forecast & Preparedness Advice

Sunday Night (First Alert Weather Day)

Expect significant weather events tonight, with powerful thunderstorms potentially unleashing strong winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. The storm window opens for these regions between 8 p.m. on Sunday through midnight on Monday across southwest Kentucky and northwest Middle Tennessee. For areas like Nashville, Gallatin, Franklin, Columbia, and Lawrenceburg, anticipate impacts from 10 p.m. Sunday through 4 a.m. Monday. In southern and southeastern Middle Tennessee, prepare from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Keep a variety of weather alert sources at hand, and limit travel during storm periods. Heavy rain may result in reduced visibility and temporary flooding in poor drainage spots.

Earlier in the day, conditions will be cloudy, with a chance for isolated showers amid warm temperatures approaching the upper 70s. The afternoon promises to be mostly dry across the Midstate.

Upcoming Wednesday Weather (First Alert Weather Day)

A forecasted First Alert Weather Day for Wednesday suggests strong thunderstorms in northwestern areas during the afternoon and evening. These storms carry risks of damaging winds, hail, and potentially isolated tornadoes. As evening turns to night, storms likely linger near Nashville before moving back northwest. Conditions during the day seem blustery and warm, with temperatures starting at 57 and reaching up to 84 degrees.
