A (shortwave) disturbance is quickly advancing towards Middle Tennessee from the Great Plains. The National Weather Service has its ETA at or just after 1 PM. The HRRR is also putting the showers and thunderstorms in Nashville around noon.

The HRRR Model’s Simulated Radar puts thunderstorms overhead at 12 PM, poised to arrive at 1 PM.

The NAM shows less intense showers and thunderstorms, but has rain in Nashville at the exact same time the NWS is calling for it. Here is a look at the NAM’s simulated radar for 1 PM.

Based on the models and the NWS, expect showers and thunderstorms to begin sometime this afternoon. A front will succeed the shortwave disturbance and give us a chance for showers and thunderstorms until 1 AM. That said, the HRRR thinks the rain should end around sundown.

The Storm Prediction Center is forecasting no severe weather for Nashville; however, a strong storm (gusty winds, small hail and a brief heavy downpour) is possible.
