NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — FOX 17 News remains in Code Red Weather alert for a multi-day severe weather and flash flooding event.

A portion of northwest Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky are in a Category 5 risk for severe weather Wednesday evening through the overnight.

Our northwest counties have the greatest threat for all modes of severe weather. This is where a front is expected to stall late Wednesday night, setting off the multi-day event.

Each day the threats of severe weather and flooding will fluctuate.

Wednesday afternoon will be mainly dry, warm and windy. A Wind Advisory is in effect for the entire viewing area until 4 a.m. Thursday. Sustained wind speeds of 20-25 mph are likely Wednesday afternoon with wind gusts up to 45 mph.

Strong to severe storms will become increasingly likely for those west of I-65 Wednesday evening. A few strong storms will be possible early in the evening, ahead of the main line. These will be capable of high wind, hail, and tornadoes.

The main line will arrive in our northwest counties around 9 p.m. and slowly push into Middle Tennessee before stalling early Thursday morning. Where the front stalls will be key on who sees the highest risk of severe weather and heavy rainfall.

Storms will retreat by Thursday morning but remain in our northwest counties where flash flooding will become a concern. Along with flooding, strong to severe storms will remain possible area-wide through the evening hours.

Friday will be our lowest severe weather and flooding risk, but it will still be a risk for those in our northwest counties as the front continues to stall. Watch out for additional flooding.

Finally, the front will begin to move east Saturday afternoon, bringing scattered severe storms in the afternoon and then the potential for widespread severe weather and flooding rain Saturday night into early Sunday morning.

You can search FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center to find whether a location is prone to flooding.

Bottom Line

1. Let’s take it one day at a time.

2. Stay aware, stay vigilant

3. Have a safety plan ready
