Nashville, TN – Residents across Middle Tennessee are waking up to rain showers and passing storms Sunday morning, with impacts expected through 10 a.m.
According to the US National Weather Service in Nashville, radar showed storms moving through northern portions of the mid-state around 6:50 a.m. The system is tracking east along and north of Interstate 40, bringing locally heavy downpours and wind gusts up to 25 mph.
Forecasters emphasized that while stronger gusts may develop later in the day, current activity is expected to remain below severe levels. The main concern this morning is reduced visibility and slick roadways from quick bursts of rain.
Drivers in Nashville, Clarksville, Springfield, and surrounding areas should use caution during the morning commute. The weather service advises residents to stay weather-aware and take shelter if outdoors to avoid potential lightning.
The storm window is expected to close by late morning, but meteorologists say additional gusty conditions could return in the afternoon.
