Little Rain Chance Tonight, Showers/Storms Return Tomorrow

Tonight: Few Clouds, Outside Chance of Little Shower Late
For the most part, expecting clear to partly cloudy skies through the evening. The early evening time frame should remain rain-free. As we head into the late evening, early early AM hours we have a very slim chance of seeing some showers.
Quiet Tonight, Warm and Humid Conditions Continue

Tonight: Cooler, Rain Moves Out – 9PM 78°
After the sun sets, any storms will deteriorate. That’s summertime! An enjoyable, cooler night is ahead with temperatures falling into the upper 70s by 9PM.
Wednesday: No Rain? Don’t Be Fooled…Hot and Humid – Wake Up 73° High 93°
NWS Nashville is keeping the rain chances out of our forecast for Wednesday. However, with dew points in the low 70s and low 90s for high temps, it’s hard to ignore those numbers. Hot + humid + forcing mechanism = BOOM!…a thunderstorm is born.
Chance of Showers All Week, Better Chance Tomorrow

Tonight: Rain Chance Continues
Not a whole lot will change as we head into the evening hours. Skies will remain cloudy and we could see some more rain through the evening (that will all depend on where showers develop during the day). Temps are expected to barely cool only dipping down into the low 70s. It will also be very muggy through the evening with our dew point temps sticking in the 70s overnight.
More Rain Coming This Week. When’s It Going to Get HOT?

The Rain Never Came Today
Rain and storms remained stuck near the MS/TN/AL borders. A few showers lifted north toward our air, but those were zapped by drier and more stable air.
We did get a pretty cool roll cloud, though.

Higher Rain Chances on the Way
Rain chances Monday and Tuesday will be higher than the common “summertime pop-up” set ups. Let’s quote NWS!
As the northeast trough lifts out and heights rise, deeper moisture lurking just south of Tennessee will return northward late tonight through Monday. Also, a weak upper trough that has been sitting over north Mississippi will slowly lift north northeastward. These features will combine to spread scattered showers and a few storms across the Mid State on Monday and into Tuesday as well.
More Rain? It’s Summer, So….

Sunday – An Area of Light Rain Should Lift North Toward I-40
It’s raining this morning at the Alabama/Tennessee border.
We think that rain will creep north.
The HRRR model illustrates:
Notice how this model lifts what looks like a pretty big blob of light rain through the morning, then by 1 PM, it vanishes. We don’t think it’ll happen exactly like that, but we do think the rain should be decreasing as it comes north. It may not even make it.

Last Night’s Storms:
We were the recipients of a couple of rounds of severe weather yesterday, which produced wind damage in several areas of both counties and torrential rain. Here’s a time-lapse from Oak Hill of the dinner time round of storms and the great sunset before the overnight round of storms developed.
