Through Thursday: Woooo Streaking!

Low 80°s, no rain, Monday through Thursday. 

The reason: a ridge is bossing our weather.

Rain Friday?

A surface low pressure system will spin across the Great Lakes, dragging a cold front behind it. This low will be centered waaaay too far north to cause us any strong/severe weather problems. There’s a chance of maybe some thunder, but the main impact will be some rain. read more

Tonight – Radar Watching

See above. It appears the heavier/steadier rain will turn to lighter/off-and-on rain tonight.

The HRRR model shows decreasing showers tonight and overnight:

Saturday – Rainout Alert? Not So Fast – High 61°

The last frame of the HRRR (above) shows more rain coming from E Tennessee at 6 AM.  If that trend continues (I’ll update the HRRR model on Twitter @NashSevereWx later tonight), it’ll completely wash away all Saturday outdoor activities. read more

The current weathermaker is not Hurricane Joaquin. Our weather is due to an upper level low that has set up camp in the southeast, spinning counterclockwise.

Another dreary day is in store for us. Expect an overcast sky with a high temperature only reaching 64°. read more

Heavy rain and flooding issues near southern Williamson County. Take it easy out there.

Showers and even some storms will continue as we progress into the evening hours:
