Nashville, Tennessee, is gearing up for a series of storms as NEWS.ORG 17 News issues a Code Red Weather alert spanning from Wednesday through the weekend. The forecast predicts an active weather pattern bringing showers, storms, and potential severe weather to the Midstate region.

Impending Storm Threat

The forecast warns of multiple opportunities for showers, storms, and severe weather over the holiday weekend. Each day presents a chance for strong storms, with some days carrying a heightened risk of severe weather.

Wednesday’s Outlook

Wednesday kicks off with showers and a few storms expected during the early morning hours. While these storms are forecasted to be sub-severe, they may contain pockets of heavy rain. Following a brief respite in the late morning and early afternoon, storms are anticipated to move into the western counties, primarily after 4 p.m., before advancing into Middle Tennessee.

Severe Weather Risks

The highest risk for severe storms is projected to be along and west of I-65, with the main window for severe weather occurring between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Although Chief Meteorologist Katy Morgan anticipates a gradual weakening of the storm line as it traverses Middle Tennessee, any strong storm could bring damaging winds, hail, and heavy rainfall. While the tornado threat is not zero, it remains relatively low.

Extended Forecast

Beyond Wednesday, scattered showers and storms are expected to persist through Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with each day carrying a slight risk of severe weather, primarily featuring threats of wind and hail. Looking ahead to Sunday, there’s a slightly elevated risk for severe weather, encompassing all modes of severe weather activity.
