We have a storm ready to hit downtown Nashville. Scattered stuff has been around all morning, almost all of it from Dover over to Clarksville to Lafayette. Now a line along I-40 west of Nashville is moving into the city. Frequent lightning and brief heavy rain is expected but no severe weather. Some of these storms could go severe when they hit the plateau later this morning. The severe threat (mostly to the east of Nashville) continues across the afternoon. Lots of lightning.









Just drove in that line of rain from Nashville to Smith County. Several people were pulled off Interstate 40 waiting for the storms to pass. Drove between 40 and 50 mph during the heaviest of the stuff. Heavy rainfall but much needed. Hope there is more on its way.
Storms are starting to fire in Western TN as well. This afternoon could get interesting…for all of Mid. TN.
Quite heavy over here in Cookeville also. Ran home to have lunch and we nearly an inch in the CoCoRaHS rain gauge!!
Also received a report from Red Boiling Springs in Macon County of 1.45″ when the storm came through…
