CMA Fest is back. More than 300 performers will take over downtown Nashville and mega country stars will light up Nissan Stadium each night through June 8. Vendors will set up shop at Music City Center where Trisha Yearwood and Rascal Flatts will take the stage for the Artist of the Day talk.

This year, thousands are back for CMA Fest and ready for great music, but the possibility of rain poses a threat. There's also a chance for severe storms, with a Storm 5 Alert Friday and Saturday.
