Nashville, Tennessee – Heavy clouds and spotty thunderstorms will make travel tricky through Tuesday across Middle Tennessee, with muggy air and scattered downpours continuing into the evening hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, showers and storms will persist across the region through Tuesday night, with low temperatures hovering in the upper 50s to low 60s. Highs on Tuesday are expected to reach between 70 and 78 degrees. A slight chance of thunderstorms will remain, particularly during the afternoon and early evening.
Cities including Nashville, Murfreesboro, and Clarksville can expect damp roads and reduced visibility during peak travel hours. Drivers are urged to slow down and watch for ponding on roadways, especially during heavier downbursts. Humidity levels will remain high, making outdoor activity uncomfortable at times.
Residents should avoid unnecessary travel during periods of thunderstorm activity and ensure phones and flashlights are fully charged in case of isolated power outages. This pattern marks one of the wetter stretches of May so far, adding to an already above-average monthly rainfall total.
The rain threat should ease overnight into Wednesday, but more updates could follow if storms intensify or shift. Keep an eye on local alerts for any new advisories.
