NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Stay alert through this weekend for possible strong to severe storms. Friday and Saturday are the primary days of concern for severe weather across Middle Tennessee, with a much lower risk on Sunday.
The severe outlook for the weekend. Both Friday and Saturday is a Slight Risk (level 2/5) for our entire viewing area. On Sunday, a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) for our entire area.

If you are attending the CMA Fest, be prepared for potential rain chances, especially on Friday into Saturday. Be sure to have the WKRN Weather app for location-based alerts for lightning and precipitation.

Friday
There is a Slight Risk (2/5) for Friday for all of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Heavy rain and damaging winds are the main threats, but there is a low-end hail threat and a very low tornado chance.


We're tracking a storm complex coming out of the Southern Plains states that will aid in the storm development for the afternoon through late evening. This morning, a few showers and storms expected into the early afternoon.
Late Friday afternoon into the evening and overnight, strong storms are likely to increase. Sufficient heating and moisture will lead to the potential of damaging wind gusts and heavy rain, but hail and an isolated tornado could occur in this timeframe. Storms end early Saturday morning.
Saturday
Strong storms will once again be possible Saturday as we are under a Slight Risk (2/5). This will be in two rounds.


The first round of storms comes from another storm complex from the Southern Plains/Midwest states, impacting counties south of I-40 through the first half of Saturday. Heavy rain & wind still remains the primary risks, but an isolated tornado and hail is possible again.
Northern areas on Saturday afternoon and evening will also bring a few more storms. These too could be strong or severe.
Sunday
The Storm Prediction Center has a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) on Sunday. At this time, we do not anticipate much storm coverage.


A quick look at Monday: more storms expected around midday through the late afternoon. While we're not in a severe risk, a few storms could be strong to severe.
