Nashville, Tennessee – Heavy rain and thunderstorms could snarl traffic and flood low-lying roads in Nashville on Friday as an active weather system sweeps through Middle Tennessee.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, storms are likely after 9 a.m. Friday, with showers and possibly a thunderstorm continuing through Friday night. Rainfall amounts may reach up to one inch, especially in areas that see repeated downpours. South winds of 5 to 10 mph could accompany the storms, potentially bringing lightning and brief gusts. Conditions may worsen around midday Friday — making it critical for commuters to plan alternate routes, especially near I-40 and I-24 where flooding is historically more common.
By Saturday, scattered storms remain in the forecast, with a 60% chance of precipitation through the day and into Saturday night. Father’s Day (Sunday) won’t offer much relief — another round of showers and possible thunderstorms is expected, particularly in the afternoon. Temperatures will hover in the mid to upper 80s throughout the weekend, but muggy conditions and storm timing may limit outdoor plans.
Residents are urged to monitor alerts, charge electronic devices in advance, and avoid travel during heavy rain periods. No watches or warnings have been issued yet, but that may change with Friday morning’s update.
Extended impacts continue into next week with showers likely Monday and scattered storms possible through Juneteenth.
