Who’ll Stop The Rain?
Wednesday, May 28, 2025 · Elan
It will stop – eventually. Which is great news, because we’ve received plenty.
The year-to-date rainfall total at Nashville is now 31.48", which is the 5th-highest rainfall total ever through May 27 (with records going back to 1871). Clarksville's rainfall total is now 37.97", which is the wettest through May 27 by more than 9" (records back to 2002).

One or two of us may see a stray shower this evening but think most of us stay dry.
Few showers possible Thursday AM, but bulk of rain chances hold off until Thursday PM continuing thru Friday midday.
I think the Euro model has the best grasp on this, so I’ll show it’s educated guess.
*Showers/storms possible Thursday afternoon, but majority of them miss to our SE
*Good soaking rain arrives overnight Thursday, lasting into Friday morning
*Low chance of a strong storm with gusty winds, heavy rain, lightning
*0.5 – 1″ of additional rain possible
I think rain moves out of here in time so dinner/night plans on Friday are dry.
Saturday looks great. Dry and highs in the low 80s. What the doctor ordered.
Only a low chance (~30%) of rain on Sunday afternoon before dry weather returns for Monday and Tuesday.
With the drier weather comes warmer weather. We’ve been able to avoid the 90s so far, but we won’t be able to forever.
