Nashville, Tenn. – Showers and potentially heavy thunderstorms are set to move into Nashville and much of Middle Tennessee on Sunday, bringing a renewed threat of localized flooding and travel delays through early next week. According to the National Weather Service, the chance for rain begins Sunday morning with showers likely throughout the day, followed by scattered thunderstorms that could deliver heavy rainfall in some areas.
Drivers along I-24, I-65, and local surface streets should be prepared for sudden downpours, reduced visibility, and ponding on roads, especially during the late afternoon and evening Sunday. Cooler air moves in Sunday night, but rain chances linger, with scattered storms possible through Tuesday. Utility crews are urging residents to charge mobile devices and have flashlights ready in case of isolated outages due to strong winds or lightning.
Monday brings a brief lull with only a 20% chance of showers, but spotty storms could redevelop by afternoon and persist into Tuesday. While not everyone will see rain each day, the risk of downed limbs and street flooding increases wherever heavier storms develop. Stay weather aware and limit unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain.
Threats remain in effect until at least Tuesday night, with the next significant update expected by midweek as drier air attempts to return.
