Nashville Local Pulse: St. Jude Marathon Weather Alert and Music City Weekend Guide
Published 2 days, 13 hours ago
Description
Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Friday, April 24.
We start with the weather shaping our day. FOX17 reports a low threat for strong storms this afternoon, with very warm highs in the low 80s and clouds building in. Rain could arrive late tonight, possibly affecting the St. Jude Rock n Roll Marathon start downtown tomorrow morning, so runners and spectators along the course, plan ahead. Expect scattered showers Saturday into Sunday, cooling things a bit for weekend fun.
Over at City Hall, transit improvements are rolling out from our voter-approved plan. FOX17 says more frequent buses now hit key routes, making it easier to ditch the car for a trip to Broadway or East Nashville. Leaders urge us to try just one bus ride this week, easing traffic on I-24 where milling and paving closes multiple lanes nightly from mile marker 32 to 40 starting tomorrow.
Music pulses strong as always. Tonight, catch Vanderbilt Commodores baseball versus Texas Longhorns at Hawkins Field on Jess Neely Drive, or Jonell Mosser and Kentucky Thunder at 3rd and Lindsley on 3rd Avenue South. The Grand Ole Opry shines with Opry Country Classics last night and Chris Young, Bill Anderson, and Kathy Mattea tomorrow at 2804 Opryland Drive. Snarky Puppy rocks Ryman Auditorium Saturday. And the Music City Food and Wine Festival kicks off today through Sunday on Centennial Park Great Lawn at 2500 West End Avenue, celebrating our chefs with tastings and sips.
Sports buzz from the NFL Draft has Unc and Ocho praising our Titans for snagging Carnell Tate, boosting excitement citywide. Nashville SC plays at Geodis Park Saturday night.
No major crimes in the past day per local watch, but stay vigilant around construction zones. Metro honored MNPD yesterday at the Bridge Building for their service.
A feel-good nod: Handyman Hal delighted families last night at Tennessee Performing Arts Center on Deaderick Street.
Heads up for lane closures on I-65 and SR 24 next week, impacting commutes from Long Hollow Pike to Whites Creek Pike.
