Nashville, Tennessee – Afternoon thunderstorms and scattered showers are expected to linger across Tennessee through Thursday, bringing heavy rain, patchy fog, and highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, showers and storms will taper off late tonight, with areas of fog likely developing after midnight, especially along the Cumberland Plateau. The next three days will see continued rounds of afternoon storms, with the chance for localized flooding and hazardous driving conditions during peak rainfall.
Cities including Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Cookeville can expect daily highs between 87° and 95°, with morning lows in the lower 70s. Travelers on I-40 and I-24 should plan for sudden downpours and reduced visibility in storm-affected areas. Residents are urged to drive cautiously, use headlights in rain and fog, and avoid low-lying roads during heavy rain. Power outages and brief road closures remain possible with stronger thunderstorms.
This wet pattern is typical for mid-July in Tennessee but increases the risk of flash flooding, especially in urban and hilly areas. If you’re using air conditioning, check your units and keep mobile devices charged in case of outages.
Storm chances will persist into late Thursday, with additional weather advisories possible as conditions evolve.
