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?

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.

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.

Tonight and Sunday – Rain/Storms Hanging Around – High 82°
Shower and thunderstorm chances will continue through the overnight hours tonight into Sunday morning. The potential for severe thunderstorms (damaging winds, not hail or a tornado) will continue during this time, but it’s rather unimpressive. Without some sun-fueled heating, they’ll struggle to mature.
It’s dodgeball time!
Tonight – Maybe Some Showers and Weak Thunderstorms
It may rain today and through the weekend. In fact, we think it will rain, but when and where, we don’t really know. Tonight and tomorrow’s weather is without an obvious focal point to initiate showers and storms, hence the uncertainty. If you want meaningless quantification and LOL ETAs, please consult a wide array of crap apps. We would rather embrace uncertainty with honesty, than guess and hope we hit the lottery so you think we are super geniuses).
Tuesday – Rain & Possibly-Severe Thunderstorms – High 81°
Another round of extensive showers and storms will spread eastward out of the Plains into Middle Tennessee. Because weather models differ significantly on the timing of the rain/storms, there is a lot of uncertainty on how strong the storms will be.
