FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY — TODAY & TONIGHT:

Today is a First Alert Weather Day for gusty wind and a severe weather likelihood tonight.

Strong, gusty wind is likely all afternoon through tonight. A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 4 am. Expect wind gusts to reach 45 mph at times, potentially knocking out power and blowing down tree limbs or possibly even a few trees.

Severe weather is likely for some of you tonight. The greatest chance for severe storms is over northwest Middle Tennessee and southwest Kentucky this evening. Strong to severe thunderstorms will develop there this evening and slide north-northeastward. Tornadoes, hail, and/or damaging wind gusts will be possible with all of those storms. Take some time this afternoon to ensure everyone in your household is aware of this rare, level 5 severe weather threat for part of our area. Prepare your tornado safe place (lowest level, most interior location….basement/bathroom/closet without windows is best). Storms and the severe threat will gradually slide southeastward overnight, reaching Nashville around midnight. Storms will struggle to reach far southeastern Middle Tennessee and could get stuck just north of there. Again, any storms overnight could quickly become severe.

Flooding could develop at anytime as well with the repeated rounds of storms. A Flood Watch starts at 7 pm tonight and continues until 7 am Sunday for most of our area.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS — TOMORROW THROUGH SATURDAY:

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are all First Alert Weather Days. A Flood Watch will remain in effect for most of the Midstate and southern Kentucky then. Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will drop as much as 10″ of rain by early Sunday morning. The area where the most rain will fall is northwest Middle Tennessee and southwest Kentucky. Remember, turn around and go another way if you encounter a road covered in flood water. If you live near a creek, stream, or river, be prepared to evacuate and move to higher ground.

Thursday will bring showers and storms to the I-40 corridor and northward and communities west of I-65. Any storms could be severe with wind, hail, and isolated tornadoes, but especially those west of Nashville that develop or move in Thursday afternoon and Thursday night.

Friday looks mostly dry across the Midstate. Rain chance, 30%.

A shower or thunderstorm will be possible Saturday, but the main event that day will occur Saturday night when an organized round of strong to severe thunderstorms moves through. Severe weather is likely then anywhere in the Midstate (including southeastern Middle Tennessee).

SUNDAY & BEYOND:

After morning showers, rain will exit Sunday afternoon.

Monday and Tuesday will turn much cooler.

Freezing weather will be possible for some early on Wednesday, but most will have just frost.
