A slight chance of a storm exists today from Davidson/Williamson Counties westward. There’s just enough moisture, apparent on this morning’s upper-air observations, to squeeze out a storm or two. Not everyone gets so lucky, but some burnt area lawns could definitely use it.
GFS says, and we agree, no rain until (maybe) Wednesday.
GFS Loop through Tuesday
Expect temps to climb slowly into the 90s by Tuesday. Humidity will also return at that time.
Rain chances ramp up during the mid-afternoon on Wednesday and continue through at least Friday.
More afternoon “popcorn” storms are possible on Tuesday as the very weak cold front sitting to our north today sags southward. Severe weather is not expected.
Temperatures each day through Friday, thanks to abundant sunshine, should reach the lower 90s, too.
At 10:00AM, the Airport is already at 89ºF. We are reaching for 98ºF once again this afternoon.
Our eyes will be on radar today as a few isolated showers may develop. These are expected mainly south and east of Davidson/Williamson Counties, but we can’t rule out a pop-up rainer here completely. Once the sun sets, these will quickly dissipate.

If it is going to be consistently hot and dry, might as well try to make the best out of it. NWS Nashville put it very plainly this morning, “…most locations will have no rain this week under blazing sunshine.”
SPC Day 2 Convective Outlook
Widespread showers and storms are expected to develop late morning and into the afternoon once again tomorrow as a frontal boundary approaches from the north. A few of these storms could produce gusty winds so we will be keeping a close eye on anything that quickly sprouts up.
It’s definitely an A/C, waterpark, turn on the sprinkler kind of day. We’re already starting out a degree shy of 70ºF at the airport this morning. Temperatures this afternoon will soar well into the low-mid 90s — the official high for today is 94ºF, but I would not be surprised at all to see us reach 95ºF.
