Nashville Local Pulse: Spring Storms Clear, Sunshine and Weekend Fun Ahead
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, April 17th.
We're starting this morning with weather on everyone's minds after a rough night across Middle Tennessee. Dickson County Schools is opening two hours late today due to severe storms that moved through yesterday evening, bringing down trees and causing power outages across the area. All standardized testing scheduled for today has been postponed until Monday. But the good news is we're looking at upper eighties and plenty of sunshine here in Nashville once that rain clears out this morning, so we should have a nice day ahead of us.
Speaking of getting around town, if you're planning to travel today, Tennessee Department of Transportation has several projects underway that might affect your commute. On Interstate 75 near the Hamilton Place Mall interchange, the southbound ramp to northbound has been reduced to one lane, so traffic shifts are in place. Over in Bradley County on Spring Place Road, there's utility work with flagging-assisted lane closures between Clayton Lane and Durkee Road, so reduce your speed through there. White County crews are also beginning to install construction signs today on State Road 1 for upcoming resurfacing work.
Now for the fun stuff happening in our city this weekend. The Nashville Comedy Festival wraps up this Sunday, so if you haven't caught any shows yet, you've still got time. Tonight we've got live music all over town, from Emma White at the Twelve Thirty Club to the Time Jumpers performing at Third and Lindsley. For those looking to get outside, Markets for Makers Nashville is happening tomorrow and Sunday at various venues around the city with local artisans and creators. And this weekend is also Bourbon and Bubbles Fest, happening Saturday, so if that's your scene, mark your calendar.
We also want to remind our listeners that the Nashville Rosé Festival is coming up on May 16th, and early ticket sales are happening now. Plus the St. Jude Rock and Roll Running Series is scheduled for April 25th and 26th if you're looking to get some steps in for a great cause.
Looking ahead to next week, we're expecting another round of rain to move through on Saturday, but severe weather is not expected. Then we're watching for possible showers and thunderstorms toward the end of next week around the 24th and 25th of April.
That's what's happening in Nashville today. We've got sunshine on the horizon, events all around town, and a community bouncing back after a rough night.
