We tweeted this at 1:30 PM.

Prelim temp data at BNA (needs final confirmation) is 30°C = 86°F, that would be the hottest on record this late in the year. read more

From NWS Nashville:

...realistic potential for iso to sct light shwr/tstm activity Fri and into the upcoming weekend. Features that might bring the potential of rainfall to the area will be another possible weak upper level trough passage Fri into Fri night, along with a sfc warm front approaching from the lower MS River Valley on Fri morning, but quickly moving to the northeast as the weekend progresses, putting the mid state in a broad warm sector synoptic cold frontal system pattern. This broad warm sector synoptic cold frontal system pattern characterized by a cold front stretching from the central plains to southern portions of the Hudson Bay Region, and from there, a warm front draped sewd into New England. Another weak upper level trough moving across the region on Sun looks to be possible too bringing with it the potential of mainly iso light shwrs and tstms. read more
