Strong storms possible Memorial Day in Middle TN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Storm Prediction Center has MOVED theMarginal Risk (category 1 of 5) out of Tennessee. We are no longer weather alert, but evening storms are still likely.

The biggest storm threats for this evening and tonight are gusty winds and heavy rainfall that could lead to localized flooding.

The timing of storms has become more delayed pushing storm chances into the late afternoon and evening. This means most Memorial Day events shouldn’t be affected by the rain. Storms start firing up by 5 p.m. west of Interstate 65.

Highs for Memorial Day will still be in the upper 70s. Mostly cloudy skies will persist through the day with some peaks of sunshine.

Once storms ramp up this evening they will continue overnight and all day Tuesday. This is when flash flooding will become a concern with a few strong storms.

Rain chances decrease after Wednesday morning with a mostly dry end to the week.
