NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — One of the biggest candy days of the year is Halloween, and the weather may provide some duds for trick-or-treat plans this year. News 2 meteorologists are following the potential of rain and storms, some that could become strong or severe on Thursday.
In recent model runs, the forecast for rain on Halloween has underwent a shift in timing. Regardless and unfortunately, we still expect rain and storms to impact many parts of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky on Thursday afternoon and night.

There is also a small severe weather component we will be monitoring, too. The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) for severe storms for areas from the Tennessee River to north and west of Clarksville. This risk could expand farther east.
While the lowest threat level, wind gusts and brief heavy rainfall is possible in the stronger storms.
Ahead of the storms, gradient wind gusts could reach 30-40 mph on Thursday. While no alerts for wind will be issued, this can cause loose items to blow away. Be sure to secure decorations and any outdoor items that can easily be tossed in the wind.
