Nashville, Tennessee – Parts of Middle Tennessee could see scattered thunderstorms with gusty winds and small hail through 8 p.m. Sunday as warm, unsettled air fuels isolated afternoon storms.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, the severe weather threat is marginal, meaning storms will be limited in intensity and coverage. However, short bursts of rain and brief hail may develop across the region, especially near Davidson, Sumner, Wilson, and Rutherford counties. Storms are expected to peak between 2 and 8 p.m., with most activity clearing by sundown.
While the risk of severe weather is low, a few stronger cells could still produce small hail and wind gusts strong enough to rattle loose outdoor items or disrupt lake and park plans. Drivers and boaters around Old Hickory Lake should stay alert for rapidly changing skies.
Residents are advised to stay weather-aware and check local alerts in case conditions escalate. Keep mobile devices charged and review shelter options if outdoors. Though much of the area will remain dry, the National Weather Service notes that a few lucky spots may “win the rainfall lottery” this afternoon.
More updates will be issued if conditions change. Storm chances taper off after sunset tonight.
