Rain & Possible Thunderstorms Expected This Fourth



If you have outdoor plans this Fourth of July, you may want to get them done before lunchtime, as the National Weather Service reports there is a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 1pm. It will be partly sunny, with a high near 90. Heat index values as high as 97.

Tonight
Showers and thunderstorms are likely. Cloudy, with a low around 73, chance of precipitation is 70%. Although it looks like rain and possible thunderstorms could disrupt Fourth of July plans, there is a bright side to all the incoming rain.

“Since the beginning of the year, Nashville sits at a 6.78″ deficit so any rain that we do get, will only help this number improve,” reports WSMV.

Franklin is scheduled to have a fireworks display at Harlinsdale Farm Monday night at 9p. No rain date has been listed for Franklin festivities.

Brentwood is scheduled to hold their fireworks show Monday night at Crockett Park. If there is lightning, strong winds or continuous rain between 7:00 – 9:00, the Brentwood fireworks will be postponed to July 5th at 9:00. The concert, scheduled to take place before the fireworks, will go on rain or shine. Lightning in the area is the only reason the concert will be cancelled. No rain date is planned for the concert.

The “Let Freedom Sing” event in Nashville is also taking place at Riverfront Park, with live music beginning at 5pm and fireworks at dark.
