Nashville Local Pulse: April 25 - Rain Today, Storms Monday, Hotel Growth Downtown

Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, April 25. We kick off with the weather from Tennessee Valley Weather, where we have drought-busting rain chances lingering today after yesterday's showers, so expect cloudy skies and scattered showers that could dampen outdoor plans around Centennial Park or along the Cumberland River, but it clears up nicely by evening with highs in the mid-60s. Looking ahead, strong thunderstorms build Monday, so keep those umbrellas handy for weekend errands.Metro Nashville Network just launched a new streaming app on Apple, Google Play, Roku, and Fire TV, making it easier for us to catch city hall updates and local programming right from our couches, straight from nashville.cablecast.tv. This means more access to decisions affecting our daily commutes and neighborhoods without flipping channels.On the business front, a new hotel tower is rising on the East Bank, boosting jobs and tourism vibes downtown, while The Lodge at Natchez Trace in West Nashville celebrates its 10-year milestone tomorrow with a Spring ReBloom ribbon-cutting, marking steady growth in senior living options.Music pulses strong as always: catch Cliff Richmond and the CliffNotes swinging soulful jazz tonight at 5:30 at Rudys Jazz Room, followed by the pro jazz jam at 9, and Chris Young, Bill Anderson, and Kathy Mattea light up the Grand Ole Opry House on Opryland Drive.
