First Alert Weather: Strong to severe storms possible through Sunday
The threat of severe weather is elevated Sunday.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) -First Alert Weather Days are now in effect for each day through Sunday due to the risk of strong to severe thunderstorms. Sunday brings the highest threat.
THROUGH FRIDAY:
Tonight areas of fog developing, low in the mid 60s.
More scattered showers and storms are expected on Friday. Any storm on Friday could also be strong-to-severe. Gusty winds and heavy downpours will be the main threats, but we could see some small hail and I cannot rule out an isolated tornado. Highs on Friday will stay in the mid-80s.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND:
Unsettled weather will continue into the holiday weekend, so be sure you stay up to date with the latest forecast on WSMV 4.
Saturday will feature some hit-or-miss showers and storms that develop throughout the area. A First Alert Weather Day is now also in effect for Saturday. The severe threat for Saturday is low, but still, any storm could produce gusty winds and heavy flooding downpours. You’ll want to have a backup plan to bring the fun inside occasionally, but we’re not talking an all-day steady rain.
A First Alert Weather Day is in effect on Sunday. A big round of strong-to-severe thunderstorms will be possible with damaging wind, large hail, localized flooding, and isolated tornadoes all possible. The threat will be highest during the afternoon and early evening. Make sure you have a plan in place with your family about where to go in the case of a tornado warning.
The weather will try to dry out some during the day on Memorial Day. There will still be some pop-up showers, but it should all be much more isolated.
