Tonight – Rain? Maybe, But Probably Not

At 3 PM, a strong line of thunderstorms was forming along a south-moving outflow boundary located to our north across Kentucky. It prompted a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in KY: read more

Hot.

We hit 90° today. The dewpoint reached 71°. The heat/humidity duo sent heat indicies in the low-to-mid 90°s.

A few showers popped up in Williamson County, but as for all the showers in Middle Tennessee today, nothing could get going. Showers were knocked down by sinking air. read more

Tonight – Watching To See If/Where It’ll Rain 

This is the classic Nashville summertime pattern. Gets hot, it’s already humid, and downpours pop up afternoon, last into the early evening, then die off. This happened close to and just south of downtown, in Thompson’s Station/Franklin, and between Brentwood and Nolensville. None of them were little sprinklers, but they barely moved, and collapsed after a few hours. Where will they be today? read more

Clearing Out

Overnight – Few Lingering Showers

Well, that was exciting. Lots of lightning, torrential rain, and big hail. This was from @AshleyCB84:

A Flash Flood Warning remains effective until 8 PM inside the green polygon:

The bad storms are gone; however, a few small showers currently to our NW may still work through tonight. read more

Today: Hottest Day Of The Year; Monday: PM Severe Storms Possible

Current Radar

Sunday – Hottest Day of the Year – High 93°

Dewpoints are also creeping toward the mid-60°s, so it’ll start getting humid, too.

Still no meaningful chance of rain during the day.

Tonight, we may see a shower squeeze out north of 40, but that looks unlikely. It’s just hard to completely rule out rain when temps go this high with this much moisture in the air. read more
