Nashville weather: More strong storms possible Sunday night

Another round of strong storms could be headed toward Middle Tennessee Sunday night.

Meteorologist Matt Reagan with the National Weather Service in Nashville said a line of storms over eastern Arkansas is moving toward Nashville, although it could lose steam as it approaches the area.

“There are questions about how long it will hold together. Some models have it dying off as it comes into the Nashville area,” Reagan said.

The storm is expected to hit the area around 8-9 p.m. Sunday.

“It could be strong, but again, it looks like it kind of dies off a bit as it approaches Interstate 65,” Reagan said.

The National Weather Service in Nashville issued a severe thunderstorm watch for 22 counties in Middle Tennessee at 5:30 p.m. but cancelled it three hours later. The NWS said severe weather "looks increasingly unlikely." 

Reagan said another round of storms is possible mid-day on Monday.

Temperatures were expected to reach around 90 degrees Sunday, with an overnight low of 71 degrees. Monday’s high is 85 degrees, Reagan said.

Some Middle Tennesseans were still dealing Sunday with the aftermath of damaging storms Friday night that caused downed power lines and trees, and even blown out windows in several counties. At the highest point, more than 49,000 people were without power in Nashville while crews worked to repair the damage.
