Yes, storms will hit Middle Tennessee on Saturday, though we don’t know exactly when.

But organizers of Nashville’s riverfront Fourth of July bash told me repeatedly today that the event is rain or shine. Only severe storms could wash out Music City’s biggest annual event.

“It has to be pretty bad for us not to be able to shoot fireworks,” said Deana Ivey of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau, which throws the bash.

If it’s raining, the show will go on. If it’s raining hard and/or storming, they might consider canceling the music, but continuing with the fireworks.

If’s it’s a bad, bad storm — like even Noah is hiding — they will postpone the fireworks for 30 minutes and then make the call.

Of course, the storms could miss us all together. We should know better tomorrow.

Here’s the sked:

6:45 p.m.: Former Mayor Richard Fulton will be on hand for a brief presentation to mark the 25th anniversary of the riverfront Fourth of July bash.

7 p.m.: Fisk Jubilee Singers do the anthem, and then, Nashville pop-rocker Gabe Dixon takes the big stage.

8 p.m.: Headliner Wynonna performs.

9 p.m.: The fireworks.
