Nashville and much of Middle Tennessee is under an elevated threat for severe weather on Thursday. 

Storms that moved through the area this morning caused torrential downpours and prompted severe thunderstorms warnings in Davidson and other counties.

Trees and powerlines were also down along Central Avenue in Springfield.  Dime-sized hail was also reported with the storm.
