First things first, we broke a long-standing record this morning for the record low temperature on September 8th.

Let’s start with the NWS Nashville’s AM discussion, there really isn’t a better way to put how the next few days will be:
With yesterday`s showers and scattered thunderstorms just a distant memory, there really isn`t a whole lot to talk about in this morning`s forecast package. We continue to monitor the behemoth Irma and her monster winds in the Atlantic and what she could bring to Middle TN, but the bulk of this morning`s discussion is going to revolve around unseasonably cool temperatures and a mostly dry forecast.
We have several advisories and watches in place currently. The first advisory in place is a wind advisory. Expect for winds to stay a bit gusty at times through the morning thanks to remnants of Harvey.
Harvey’s rain is arriving.
Current rain is just the beginning. Most of it (the "bulk" of it) will begin late tonight, heaviest rain for entire event ETA Thurs night. pic.twitter.com/dEr31qhoKP
Majority of the rainfall has moved out over the course of this afternoon. We do have a few lingering showers around the area, but nothing that an umbrella won’t fix. For those with plans to head out to the Nashville Sounds game tonight, rain should clear by then. We may see a stray shower but nothing to worry about.
Things really can’t get any better than this for Middle Tennessee as we near the end of August. Highs in the mid 80s, dew point temps in the mid to upper 50s, and no rain chances over the next few days.
Say goodbye to those highs in the 90s and say hello to cooler and drier temps over the next several days. Following yesterday’s cold front, expect for highs to only reach the low to mid 80s now through the weekend.
Seems like we’ve been waiting for this eclipse for quite some time now, but it already come and gone. Here are just some of the amazing pictures we have received this afternoon.

And just like that August 21, 2017 is finally here.
To answer the question “will a cloud be overhead during totality at my location”, the answer is we do not know. We cannot say whether a cloud will be at a certain location at a certain time. However, this is what we do know about the cloud factor for today.
A pretty fantastic weekend is in store for Middle Tennessee with highs in the low 90s. Dew point temps will remain in the low 70s.
Sounds like a great weekend to be outside or to take a jump in the pool if you ask me!
