According to the National Weather Service, a strong weather system is moving into Middle Tennessee, bringing steady rain throughout Thursday. While the storms aren’t expected to be severe, they could dump significant rainfall, making roads slick and causing minor flooding in low-lying areas. Motorists should slow down, keep headlights on, and avoid flooded roads.
The forecast for Thursday calls for mostly cloudy skies, with rain arriving in the afternoon and a high near 55°F (13°C). By Friday, conditions will turn breezy, with a possible thunderstorm and highs near 66°F (19°C). The rain is expected to taper off by the weekend, but roads may remain wet and slippery into Saturday morning.
