Nashville weather: Severe storms likely Wednesday, making way for sunny weekend
Nashville, get ready for the rain because it's going to linger.
Nashville and Middle Tennessee will see "multiple waves of rain and some thunderstorms today through Thursday," the National Weather Service said. Most areas will get 2 to 3 inches of rain with some brief, local flooding possible with heavy downpours.
Severe storms are possible Wednesday around 4 p.m. into the night, the weather service said. The majority of Middle Tennessee will be at a marginal risk (1 out of 5) with damaging winds being the leading concern. A tornado or two cannot be ruled out, the weather service said.
Once the rain moves out Thursday, the weekend will be sunny skies with highs increasing to the low 80s by Monday.
