Nashville Severe Weather @nashseverewx.com · 4h
NWS Nashville has gone ahead and canceled our Wind Advisory. On/off light showers will continue over the next several hours, rain gear will be a good idea as you head out for any evening plans. Lingering showers will be possible Sunday morning thru lunch, but we’ll gradually start to dry out.
