Soaking rain, strong storms headed to Middle Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY – TONIGHT & WEDNESDAY
We are tracking multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. The primary severe threat tonight will be west of I-65, and on Wednesday, it will be along and south of I-40.
Off and on showers and thunderstorms start this morning across the Midstate, but there is no severe weather threat through this afternoon. A couple of storms tonight in west Middle Tennessee could produce strong wind gusts, and any storm will have heavy downpours to go along with it.
Additional showers and storms are expected through our afternoon on Wednesday, with damaging wind gusts remaining the primary threat with any storm.
But be on the lookout for persistent heavy downpours that lead to brief, localized flooding in poor drainage areas on Wednesday, too.
Stay with the First Alert Weather Team for updates to this forecast and as the storms move through.

Thursday will be partly cloudy and cool with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Expect a chilly night Thursday with lows in the 40s by Friday morning.

WEEKEND FORECAST
Sunshine will stick around for our Saturday, though we may see a few more clouds mix in at times. It will be a bit warmer Saturday afternoon with highs in the upper 70s.
A stray rain shower cannot be ruled out on Sunday, but it won’t be anything to wash out the day. Highs Sunday will push back to near 80.
