Middle Tennessee Prepares for Severe Weather and Plunging Temperatures

On November 5, 2025, the National Weather Service warned that Nashville and Middle Tennessee are set to experience some potentially severe weather in the coming days. A strengthening cold front is making its way across the country toward the region, and it could bring strong to severe thunderstorms.

The weather service stated that the most active time for the storms is expected to be late Friday afternoon and early evening. They also noted that November represents the secondary severe weather season, so the threat of severe storms is not out of the question.

In addition to the thunderstorms, the approaching front is likely to bring the first hard frost of the season, and there is even a chance of some snow flurries in the Cumberland Plateau area. Temperatures are forecast to plummet below freezing early on Monday, thanks to a blast of Canadian air, though they are expected to recover a bit in the following days, with highs in the 60s.

The weather service has placed Nashville and Middle Tennessee at a slight risk, a 2 out of 5 on the risk scale, for severe weather. Residents in the region should be prepared for the possibility of strong storms, as well as the sudden drop in temperatures and the potential for wintry precipitation.
