From the afternoon forecast discussion from NWS-Nashville:
A “cold front will move through tonight and while there could be some scattered showers and/or thunderstorms, models continue to show the front being very diffuse in nature. This should limit coverage this evening, but one or two strong storms aren’t out of the question, so remain weather aware this evening.”

This morning, a shower and storm producing shortwave was crossing through Middle Tennessee.
As I write this, it’s south of us.
Afternoon rain and storm chances are pretty small. A few showers may freckle the radar. Tailgaters beware.

Dry air aloft held off the rain this morning.
However, humid, rainmaking air is on the way from the SW. As mid and high level clouds show up, so will rain.

Clear, dry, and cool tonight. After midnight, we’ll dive into the 60°s.
The north wind we’ve had the past few days turns south, and starts blowing in warmer, humid air.

As I write, 0.43″ is in the Official Rain Can at the airport. Cloud cover kept the temp from getting past 76°.

The rain showed up this morning, right on time.
When will it end? The HRRR model thinks the rain blob will expand west, before finally pulling east and shutting off the spigot around dark:

Garden-variety summertime storms have been firing all morning to our south and southwest, getting mostly western Williamson County. These have been very slow moving, but they are drifting west and away from us.
