The official high at BNA today was 96°. We briefly reached 97°, but we were not there long enough for it to be official. The heat index got up to 106°.

Tonight’s rain event is mostly over. You have to look east or west for the heavier stuff. Here’s what the radar looked like at 8:00 PM.

Lots of rain west and east of us. Very little for us. pic.twitter.com/5ONoViFmRJ

Those west of downtown saw lightning, hail, and wind in a strong storm around dinnertime.

There was also a tree down on Sawyer Brown Road in Bellevue.

Better Week Ahead

It’ll still be hot and humid tomorrow, but the high temp should “only” be in the low 90°s.

Monday through Wednesday, expect typical summertime mid/late afternoon pop-up shower and thunderstorm chances, but nothing big is expected.

Rain is more likely Thursday and especially Thursday night/Friday (with a chance of strong storms) as a cold front approaches.

If Friday’s cold front delivers, expect below-average temps next weekend.
