Today – Partly Sunny, Chance For Thunderstorms – High 89

We are tracking another chance for thunderstorms over Middle Tennessee this afternoon. A Southwesterly flow will return moisture to our area just ahead of a weak cold front. The National Weather Service believes that our best chance to get scattered thunderstorm activity will be mainly after 1 PM. The NWS also believes that if storms develop they will be out of the Nashville area by 1 AM tonight.

All the models seem to find rain chances humorous but the NAM’s Simulated Radar does show some rain overhead at 4 PM.

To be fair, only the NAM model predicted rain yesterday. HRRR, RAP did not. And we had some thunderstorms. Score one for the NAM!

This is what the National Weather Service had to say about the 4th of July.
