Showers that developed across the state today will quickly fall apart by evening. Temperatures will fall into the upper 70s after sunset, but the humidity won’t relax quite as much. Dew points in the mid to upper 60s will continue to make the air feel “soupy”.

After the one main line of showers/storms rolls through this evening, rain chances will quickly end from northwest to southeast. Some areas will bottom out in the lower 60s and even upper 50s for overnight lows! This is proof of a decently strong cold front sweeping through the region.
Current Radar
No rain, cooling temperatures through the evening — we’ll fall through the 70s later, making for a comfortable night outdoors.
More of the same for Wednesday: sunshine in full force and mid-90s for afternoon highs.
Current Radar
Rain-free, cloud free, and that will allow us to bottom out in the lower 60s for morning lows. I would not be surprised if some spots dip down into the upper 50s overnight! Tonight’s weather will be great for spending outdoors and sure will give you a taste of fall…you might even want a jacket.
Current Radar
Update: One small shower developed over Brentwood this afternoon. Other than that, we don’t expect much in the way of rainfall this evening. Temperatures will fall through the low 80s later this evening, with humidity holding strong (dew points in the 70s). Tonight will be great for an evening at the Sounds Ballpark.
Current Radar
Update: Showers and storms, some severe, are moving across the area. If you have any storm reports, please tweet #tSpotter with your messages and pictures.
What’s new besides that? Not too much. Keeping it simple with temperatures falling through the 80s by mid-evening. The rain valve *should* shut off by 7 or 8pm at the very latest.

It appears rain activity will fizzle in coverage, but not in totality. A few storms could linger into the evening, mainly west of the area. Still, have the rain gear on hand for any plans you have outdoors tonight.
Temperatures will cool through the upper 80s and upper 70s by 9PM.
Saturday will repeat today, except now the better rain chances shift towards I-65 and east towards the Cumberland Plateau. It won’t be a washout, but if you have sports or other outdoor excursions planned, you’ll be wise to take the umbrella with you.
Temperatures will top out in the middle 90s with heat index readings above 100º. This heat could be dangerous. Remember, the heat index is a measure of what it feels like in the shade. Those in the sun will experience more heat than suggested by the Heat Index. Stay hydrated!
Low to middle 90s for highs, PM storm chances daily, and we’re closely monitoring the tropics for any development that *could* impact our weather later in the week. More on that below…
There’s a very unorganized tropical disturbance located in the circle:
It is not named, and therefore is not a “classified” tropical depression, storm, or hurricane. It is simply a small “eddy” (miniature circulation) entering the Bahamas, that, if convection trends up, could intensify.
Here it is on satellite:
It does this “pulsing” type of thing…where it looks really disorganized one moment, then storms fire up and it looks healthy again. This morning, it’s going through one of these cycles.
So if this “99L” is way far away from us, why talk about it? NWS Nashville sees it worthy of discussion:
We are still watching the tropics to see what the area of interest near Cuba will do over the next several days. The Euro keeps the system rather weak and takes it up the west coast of FL and then swings it northeast. The GFS has a rather creative solution keeping the disturbance weak and making initial landfall near the AL/MS coastline before drifting east along the Gulf Coast and strengthening. Either solution would not impact our weather here in Middle TN. The Euro has been more consistent with the track over the last couple of days, but looking at spaghetti plots a couple of models want to bring it into the Gulf Coast. It will be worth keeping an eye on regardless.

Update: Showers are quickly pushing east towards middle Tennessee this afternoon. These will continue their trek, while also diminishing as we approach dark. We will level off in the upper 70s by mid-evening and remain dry for the rest of the night. South-southeast winds will usher in more moisture overnight, along with warmer air, setting the stage for a warm/hot Wednesday.
Current Radar
Afternoon storms are expected to continue through the late evening hours.
HRRR-p model thinks we'll see another wave of rain (maybe even storms) around 9-10 PM. Wet night likely, campers. pic.twitter.com/MsJsU9Y4wg
