The Storm Prediction Center is maintaining the “Slight Risk” (Category 2 of 5) for severe weather in south Middle TN, while a “Marginal Risk” (Category 1 of 5) remains for the north parts of the mid-state, including Nashville.  In addition, there is a Flash Flood Watch in effect from the Tennessee River westward and a Flood Watch for area rivers in western Kentucky.

Storms have crossed the Tennessee River, and temperatures have fallen to the 60s behind them, so severe weather is not likely anymore west of the river.  However, localized flash flooding could still occur there.  

Storms will continue across Nashville and the I-65 corridor during the early evening hours and continue to areas in east Middle Tennessee tonight.

Gusty winds and heavy downpours are the biggest threat with these storms.

Rainfall totals should be the highest west of I-65, where 2 inches plus could occur (and flooding is possible), with 1-1.5 possible in the Nashville area and I-65 corridor, with closer to 1/2″ amounts to the east. 

Once the severe threat diminishes overnight, we are in for a raw, wet, chilly Friday with highs only in the low to mid 50s and wind chills in the 40s. 

Say goodbye springtime for a couple of days!
