The northern half of Middle Tennessee, including Davidson, Wilson, Sumner, Robertson, and parts of Montgomery counties, is under a level two out of five risk for severe weather.

Impact & Risks

Residents in northern Middle Tennessee, particularly Davidson, Wilson, Sumner, Robertson, and Montgomery counties, should prepare for damaging winds and severe weather conditions. Heat indices exceeding 100°F (37.8°C) pose risks of heat-related illnesses, especially for vulnerable populations. Areas under level one risk, such as Williamson and Rutherford counties, may experience less severe impacts but should remain cautious. The combination of high heat and storms could disrupt outdoor activities and travel plans.
