Weekend Rain Details
Water vapor imagery (dark means dry, white means wet) depicts the rainmaker messing up our weekend:
This morning, light rain was working itself into Middle TN from the SW. The heaviest rain will pass to our West, but we should still see a few light showers before noon. Morning activities shouldn’t be ruined. As of 9 AM, I didn’t see any lightning in the approaching morning showers.

Current Official Hourly Observation (taken at :53 on the hour)
Today – Humid, Chance of Rain Later – High 93
Heat indices will be in the upper 90’s.
There’s a small chance a shower will pop up later this afternoon or early tonight. At 5 PM tonight, the HRRR has a few showers wandering around N of I-40. It’s possible one will stray over us, but it shouldn’t be enough to wash us out (NOTE: we’ve been very wrong about that before):

There were a number of places that received over and inch of rain from the showers and thunderstorms yesterday. This added soil moisture will make us more humid and cause the heat indices to go up.
