WEATHER ALERT 4-5-2023: Strong To Severe Storms Expected

A very slow-moving front will bring a chance of strong to severe weather to Middle Tennessee today.
  • High winds will come ahead of the front, expect a Wind Advisory to be issued later this morning.
  • Temperatures will reach the mid-80s and may break records.
  • With the high temps, expect multiple rounds of strong storms ahead of the main front later this afternoon
  • Part of our viewing area ( Nashville, Franklin, Columbia and points West) are under a level 3 of 5 for severe weather. Level 2 for those East.
  • Winds, hail and flooding seem to be the main concern. A tornado or 2 is not out of the question.
  • Looking to the west this morning pretty much the whole state of Arkansas is under a tornado watch.
  • TIMING: Here is where it gets a little harder to project. Basically, looking at 3:00 p.m. into mid-evening for the real severe storms, however, this front is a real slow mover, and more storms could pop up in clusters afterward.
  • WEDNESDAY NIGHT into THURSDAY: The gusty winds will stick around and we will become more concerned with heavy rains and flooding possibilities overnight.
This is a forecast that will be tweaked throughout the day and we will post as things change.
