Nashville, TN – Tennessee residents are bracing for a significant weather event this weekend, as heavy rain and the threat of flooding loom across the state. A stalled front is expected to bring periods of heavy rainfall until Sunday, with regions in the northwest facing the highest rain totals.
According to the National Weather Service, areas such as Clarksville, Waverly, and Waynesboro are expected to see between 3 to 5 inches of rain, while Nashville and surrounding areas may receive 2 to 3 inches. The forecast suggests that the heaviest rain will hit northwestern areas, triggering potential flash flooding and river flooding risks. The region’s rivers, including the Cumberland and Duck Rivers, are likely to see elevated levels well into next week.
Severe weather, including damaging winds up to 60 mph and hail, is expected today from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., though the overall tornado threat remains low. Emergency personnel are urging residents in flood-prone areas to prepare for possible evacuations and water rescues as conditions deteriorate.
As the situation develops, residents are advised to monitor local warnings and remain prepared for rapid changes in weather conditions.
