Will it clear out for tonight? Yeah, probably. The good news is that this afternoon’s storms sponged up all the available moisture, and wrung it out on our heads.
However, a “cold pool aloft” will be hanging around, so we can’t completely eliminate our rain/storm chances.
We also need to watch that swirly thing (“meso convective vorticity center”) moving out of southern Indiana:
However, NWS-Nashville things that thing will go west of us.
All in all, feeling pretty good about being outside tonight.
Sunday – Same Set-Up, Same Uncertainty as Today – High 89°
The upper level energy will be available, there will be plenty of humidity/moisture, but very little/no low level storm making dynamics. It’s like the car is sitting in the driveway, with a full tank of gas, but we can’t say if anyone’s getting inside to take it for a spin.
Best chances for rain will still be mid/late afternoon, but if you need more information certainty, I refer you to the above GIF.
Next Week: More Of The Same
