Nashville, Tenn. – Thunderstorms are expected to increase across Middle Tennessee today, bringing the risk of damaging winds to Nashville and surrounding counties through Friday night. While widespread severe weather is not anticipated, isolated storms may pack enough strength to knock down tree limbs and power lines, especially east toward the Cumberland Plateau.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, showers and storms will linger into tonight with another round developing late Friday evening. Forecasters warn that damaging winds remain the primary concern, though lightning and brief downpours could also disrupt evening commutes and late-night travel.
Metro Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Cookeville could see repeated showers Friday before storms push through overnight. Drivers should remain alert for sudden downpours that could reduce visibility and leave standing water on roadways. Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items and charge electronics in case of power outages from stronger cells.
Relief is on the way as drier and cooler air filters in Sunday, bringing comfortable highs in the low 70s and crisp mornings in the 50s. Sunny skies are expected to hold into midweek, offering a quiet stretch after the stormy end to the week.
Weather alerts may be issued if stronger storms develop Friday evening, and residents are urged to check for updates.
