Rain in Donelson Hills as tornado-warned storm hits Nashville area
Strong winds, rain in Donelson Hills as a tornado-warned storm passed through the Nashville area Saturday, April 5, 2025.
Rain and the risk of flooding and isolated severe weather will continue in Middle Tennessee on Sunday, but dry weather is coming soon, according to the National Weather Service.
More rain is likely before 4 p.m. in Nashville Sunday, with temperatures reaching 60 degrees. A flood watch is in place for Nashville until 1 p.m. Sunday, with a flood advisory in place until 1 a.m. Monday.

There is still an isolated risk for sever weather Sunday in Middle Tennessee. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat, and there still is a low chance for tornadoes Sunday, according to NWS.

The Dallas-area’s most up-and-down recruiting saga from the Class of 2026 has its latest twist.
North Forney four-star athlete Legend Bey has requested his letter of release from Tennessee, according to reporting from Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman.
“They are waiting for Tennessee to confirm this,” Spiegelman said of the request Sunday on The Inside Scoop podcast. “This could come as early as today, tomorrow. This is in the works.”
Bey signed with Tennessee on early national signing day, flipping from his November 10 commitment to Ohio State on early national signing day. He had originally committed to the Volunteers in June. However, reports emerged soon after his signing that Bey wanted to sign with the Buckeyes but landed at Tennessee because of pressure from his family.

The possibility that Bey might seek a release was first reported Dec. 4, with reports suggesting that Tennessee would grant the request given the tumultuous recruiting process.
If the release is granted, Bey may have to wait to turn 18 years old before he can sign for Ohio State without parental approval.
