Monday – Rain Increasing – High 61°
South winds blowing 13-16 MPH (gusting close to 30 MPH) are efficiently transporting a lot of moisture into Middle Tennessee, setting the stage for a good rain even this afternoon and tonight.

Earlier today, the NAM4 model showed a steady soaking rain starting just after midnight.
We need to adjust the timing and amount expected.
The HRRR has some off/on (mostly “off”) light showers arriving in the morning, but not nearly as dreary as the models showed this morning.

Check out the GFS model at noon every day this week:
Not really a steady rain, but a persistent off and on pattern. Temps in the low 50°s, highs mid 60°s.

South winds will really start to pick up after noon, transporting warmer and wetter air. That’ll set us up for next week.

So we had a shower drop by this afternoon, and we expect more tonight.
The HRRR expects a lot more rain as the front approaches:
Our NWS does too, another 0.37″. Rain is more likely the closer you are to Chattanooga, where they should get soaked. The rain may not really get going until it’s SE of us, but don’t bet on that. Plan on rain tonight.
