Nashville, TN – A wind advisory has been issued for Middle Tennessee beginning late Wednesday morning, as forecasters warn of potentially damaging gusts through early Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Nashville, the advisory is in effect from 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 2, until 4 a.m. Thursday, April 3. Winds from the south are expected to reach sustained speeds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts topping out around 45 mph across the region.
The advisory affects a wide swath of Middle Tennessee, including Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Montgomery, and Sumner counties. Residents in cities such as Nashville, Franklin, Clarksville, and Murfreesboro are urged to secure loose outdoor objects and prepare for possible tree limb damage or brief power outages.
These gusty winds may pose hazards for drivers, especially those operating high-profile vehicles along major routes like I-65 and I-24. Local officials recommend delaying unnecessary travel during peak wind hours and exercising extra caution on the roads.
While wind events of this magnitude are not uncommon in spring, the sustained gusts could disrupt normal routines. Residents are encouraged to monitor local alerts and take precautions to protect property and stay safe through the duration of the advisory.
