Strong Winds Forecasted for Today

With wind gusts continuing to intensify throughout the day, the National Weather Service in Nashville is anticipating the arrival of strong winds later this afternoon, with particularly blustery conditions expected in the evening and overnight. It is crucial to take precautions by securing any loose items beforehand, such as patio furniture, trash cans, and trampolines. Additionally, make sure to clean up and remove any loose tree limbs and branches to prevent potential damage. Failure to secure loose objects in advance could result in them being carried away by the wind. There is a risk of tree and tree limb damage during the peak wind periods, which could potentially cause power outages.
