NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Stay weather-ready this afternoon and evening
FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY – TODAY
We’re tracking the risk for strong to severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and into the evening in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Areas along and west of I-65 are at a level 2/5 on the threat scale, and it’s a 1/5 elsewhere across the Midstate.
An isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out early this afternoon, but we’re mostly watching a window between 4 -11 p.m. for our highest risk for severe weather.
The main storm threats will be heavy rain and damaging winds, but storms could also have small hail, and I cannot rule out an isolated tornado.
FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS – MONDAY AND TUESDAY
Monday morning’s start temperature will be 30 degrees (our first freeze of the season), but the wind will make it feel like the 20s or even the high teens. A few snow flurries will be possible. Even lower temperatures are expected on Tuesday morning. Temperatures will dip into the 20s for the entire Midstate. A hard, killing freeze appears likely for most then.
WEEKEND FORECAST:
Saturday morning: Variably cloudy and cool. Low, 53.
Saturday afternoon: An isolated shower or thunderstorm will be possible toward evening. Rain chance, just 20%. High, 72.
Saturday evening: A few showers and/or thunderstorms. Rain chance, 40%.
Sunday morning: Turning breezy. Low, 45.
Sunday afternoon: Breezy and chilly. High, 48.
Sunday evening: A few snow flurries possible, mainly along the Cumberland Plateau. Temperatures will tumble through the 30s and eventually back below freezing.
Here are instructions on how to watch WSMV4 live on various platforms.
NEXT WEEK:
It’ll feel more like January on Monday! Wind chills will remain at or below freezing for most of the day.
Tuesday morning will start well below freezing, but the afternoon will turn much milder, warming into the 50s.
Wednesday looks even warmer under the sunshine. High, 69.
Thursday will be similar to Wednesday with a high of around 70.
