Nashville, Tennessee – Scattered storms and slow-moving rain could trigger localized flash flooding across Middle Tennessee through Saturday morning, making travel risky and dampening weekend plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, waves of showers and thunderstorms will persist into early Saturday, with the highest activity expected Friday night into Saturday morning. While the risk of severe weather remains low, some storms may bring small hail and gusty winds.
Localized flash flooding is the primary concern, especially in low-lying or poorly drained areas. Some neighborhoods already experienced minor flooding Wednesday night. Rainfall may be heavier in isolated pockets, and drivers should avoid water-covered roads. Temperatures will remain unseasonably warm, ranging from the upper 50s at night to high 70s during the day.
Cities like Clarksville, Murfreesboro, and Columbia are likely to see off-and-on rain through the weekend, while conditions in eastern Tennessee may begin to dry out by Sunday. Those with outdoor plans should monitor alerts and have backup options ready.
Storm activity is expected to taper off late Saturday, with clearer skies and calmer weather returning by Sunday. Additional advisories may be issued if flash flood potential increases.
