Live updates: Middle Tennessee to see more rounds of storms
Mayor Freddie O’Connell is encouraging Nashvillians to remain vigilant for signs of dangerous flooding.
The mayor’s office shared a video message Thursday about preparedness for a second night of severe thunderstorms and potential tornadoes in Davidson County.
Nashville could get 6 inches or more of rain through the weekend, while Clarksville could get 10.
“Right now, our rivers and streams are manageable,” O’Connell said. “But the smaller the stream, the larger the risk.”
