NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The threat of isolated tornadoes, damaging wind, hail and flash flooding has prompted a Storm 5 Alert on Wednesday night.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for areas south of Interstate 40 until 10 p.m. Wednesday.

A few storms could be strong-to-severe with damaging wind gusts. While the threat remains low, a brief tornado isn't out of the question.

The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded some of the southern Middle Tennessee counties to a slight risk, meaning two out of five.

A flash flood watch is also in effect for several of our southern counties until 7 a.m. Thursday.

We will see improving conditions with a few storms mainly along the plateau in the afternoon. We will have a dry forecast, thankfully, for Friday and the weekend.
