Nashville Local Pulse: Racing Returns, Festival Fun, and Beautiful Weather Ahead
Published 3 days, 18 hours ago
Description
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, April 23rd.
We're starting off with some exciting news from the racing world. YouTube star Cleetus McFarland, whose real name is Garrett Mitchell, just announced he's making his return to NASCAR. The big reveal came on Monday when he posted to Facebook and Instagram that he'll be behind the wheel of the number 33 Tommy's Express Car Wash Chevy for Richard Childress Racing. The race is set for May 30th at Nashville Super Speedway, so mark your calendars if you're planning to head out and catch the action.
Speaking of what's happening around town this weekend, we've got a packed schedule coming up. The Music City Home Expo opens tomorrow and runs through Sunday at the Fairgrounds Nashville with free admission. If you're looking for some live entertainment, the Music City Food and Wine Festival returns to Centennial Park this weekend as well. And for those music lovers, the St. Jude Rock and Roll Running Series is also happening April 25th and 26th, celebrating 26 years of bringing running, music, and community together.
Now let's talk about what's affecting your commute this morning. The Tennessee Department of Transportation is shifting traffic starting tonight at 8 PM on Interstate 65 northbound between mile markers 96 and 99. The shift is expected to take two nights as contractors move traffic onto newly constructed inside lanes. If you're heading north on I-65, plan for some delays and use caution as you navigate through the work zone.
On the weather front, we're looking at a beautiful day ahead. We've got clear skies, and temperatures are already climbing into the low eighties this morning with highs expected to reach around 82 degrees today. Winds will be breezy at about 12 miles per hour, and there's zero chance of precipitation, so no rain worries for any outdoor activities you might have planned. Tonight will cool down to around 50 degrees with those clear skies continuing.
If you're planning to catch some live music, there are shows happening at the Ryman Auditorium this weekend with performances on April 25th, 27th, and 28th.
As we head through the rest of the week, remember to stay safe on those roads with the construction activity, and take advantage of this gorgeous weather while it lasts.
