The heat advisory continues through 8PM tonight. Afternoon storms will continue into the evening, until the sun sets. That’s when the valve shuts off and we dry out. Temperatures will “cool” into the 80s, but with ample humidity, it will still feel a bit uncomfortable outside.

A few frog stranglers/severe storms have popped up across the area this afternoon. For updated warning information visit @NashSevereWx on Twitter, and send any storm reports to #tSpotter.
Remaining storms will dissipate by mid evening, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies behind. Humid air will stick around, but at least the temps will be a bit cooler following the rain.

Any afternoon storm development will be shutting down by sunset. Expect warm and muggy conditions this evening with temps in the mid 80s by 9PM. Abundant moisture in the air makes it more difficult to cool down, so your post-workday lounge on the porch may not be as comfortable as other nights. Even your camera phone feels the moisture-laden, soupy air.

As a trough slides east of our area towards the Plateau, we will dry out for any evening plans. Don’t forget, tonight is a night of music and barbecue at Nashville’s Rib and Jazz Festival downtown in Cumberland Park! Mmm…barbecue.

Thunderstorms have formed to our northwest today in response to an approaching cold front. The latest high resolution models have these storms holding together long enough to make it into our area this evening/overnight:

After the sun sets, any storms will deteriorate. That’s summertime! An enjoyable, cooler night is ahead with temperatures falling into the upper 70s by 9PM.
NWS Nashville is keeping the rain chances out of our forecast for Wednesday. However, with dew points in the low 70s and low 90s for high temps, it’s hard to ignore those numbers. Hot + humid + forcing mechanism = BOOM!…a thunderstorm is born.

The weather might actually cooperate for the first Saturday night in what feels like an eternity. Temperatures will fall into the upper 70s area-wide and *most* of the rain should be well south of I-40 by sunset.
