Nashville, there's a severe thunderstorm watch on the board right now, and your afternoon commute is directly in its path. The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has this watch active for the Nashville area today.
Before the storms roll in, it's actually a pretty decent morning. Highs are heading for the upper eighties today with west winds around five miles per hour.
Here's the key thing for your drive home. Afternoon is when this gets active.
Practically speaking: it's upper-eighties warm, so dress for that. But bring a rain jacket or umbrella with you.
Keep an eye on the severe watch status through the afternoon. Watches can be upgraded to warnings quickly when storms actually organize.
