Here is what you need to know:

🌬️ Main Threat: Low-end chance for damaging wind gusts of 60+ mph.

Well - that didn’t take long!

A Flood Watch has been issued for our area from Monday morning through Monday evening.

Atmospheric conditions are highly favorable for heavy rainfall across Middle Tennessee. While the exact location of the heaviest downpours is still being tracked, excessive runoff could quickly lead to flooding in our local rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying or flood-prone locations right here in Rutherford County.

🛑 What You Should Do:
Monitor the Forecast: Keep an eye on Rutherford Weather for live updates and be alert for potential Flood Warnings.

Be Prepared: If you live or commute through flood-prone areas, have a plan in place and be ready to act if water starts to rise.

Turn Around, Don't Drown: Never drive through flooded roadways. Most flood-related fatalities happen in vehicles.

☔ We are tracking a heavy rain threat over the next few days with a sharp southern gradient that we need to watch closely.

The Big Concern:
The rainfall model (video) shows a massive 3 to 5+ inch deluge setting up just to our south and west (near Franklin and Lewisburg). While Murfreesboro is currently on the lighter edge—modeled for 1.21 inches by Tuesday morning—any slight northward shift of just 15–20 miles will pull those torrential 3+ inch totals right into Rutherford County.

Quick Timeline:
* Sunday, June 7: A Slight Risk is already clipping southern areas like Rockvale and Christiana, with a Marginal Risk elsewhere (1st image).

* Monday, June 8: The Slight Risk expands county-wide as heavy rain moves in (2nd image). Murfreesboro hits 1.15 inches by 5:00 PM, according to the models.

* Tuesday, June 9: The system moves further east, leaving us in a Marginal Risk as it pulls away (3rd image).

Reminder: Atmospheric boundaries wobble, so stay weather-aware! If you see flooded roads, Turn around, don't drown!

We are monitoring the radar for any northward shifts. Stay tuned to Rutherford Weather for updates!

Monday is our last day in this sticky, muggy pattern, but it’s going out with a threat of severe weather. Most of Middle TN is under a Level 1 of 5 (Marginal Risk).

⚠️ Quick Details:

Impacts: Damaging wind gusts (main threat) and large hail.

Timing: Round 1 hits 9 AM – 1 PM as a line moves NW to SE. A second round is possible late afternoon/evening, but confidence is low.

The Catch: If the morning storms are strong, they’ll zap the energy for the evening. If morning storms fizzle, evening storms become more likely.

Keep Rutherford Weather handy for the morning commute. Once this clears, the humidity drops! 🌤️

Good News, Rutherford County! The severe weather threat is fading fast…the WATCH IS CANCELED!

Latest radar and satellite show storms are losing their "fuel" and weakening. This is a great sign that the threat isn't nearly what we thought it could be earlier.

Expect rain to continue overnight, but no severe weather is very minimal. Enjoy the rain…we need it!

[Rutherford Weather @RuCoWeather]

Let’s get ready again Rutherford County!

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for Rutherford County until 1AM. Scattered hail up to ping-pong ball size possible as well as some scattered gusts to 70 mph. A tornado or two can’t be ruled out.
