Nashville, Tennessee – Dry roads and mild temperatures will hold through today, but a surge of rain and thunderstorms is set to move in by Saturday afternoon, potentially impacting evening travel plans across Middle Tennessee.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, the best chance for widespread rain arrives between 3 p.m. Saturday and midnight, with storms continuing into the overnight hours. Rainfall totals will range from 0.5 to 1.5 inches, with isolated areas possibly nearing 2 inches.
Nashville, Clarksville, Columbia, and surrounding communities should expect periods of steady rain, along with occasional thunder and gusty winds. While the severe threat remains low, a few stronger storms could produce small hail and brief wind gusts strong enough to down small branches.
Drivers along I-40, I-65, and I-24 should prepare for reduced visibility and slick roads during heavier downpours. Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items and keep devices charged in case of isolated outages.
Conditions improve by Sunday, with cooler temperatures in the low to mid-60s for Easter celebrations. More updates may follow if storm intensity increases.
