Today – Late Morning/Early Afternoon Rain – High 84°
Just before 7 AM, a cold front was pushing a line of showers and thunderstorms across the Ohio River:
At 9:20 AM, the showers were fizzling ahead of the front:

Aye, Right!!
Today Scotland determines its independence from the UK by voting, rather than the traditional way, war. Some argue a vote in favor independence will upset the current world order,
and in case that happens, one day our kilt-wearing grandkids may ask what our day was like when the vote was had, the day before Groundskeeper Willie rose to political power to govern a small, oil-rich nation.
Dreary to Sunny
A weak cold front came and went this morning, but there is still some lingering moisture squeezing out a few light showers and this ridiculous drizzle. This guy loves it.
You may briefly wish for an umbrella, but we don’t think anything tonight will get rained out. We’ll hit 77° today.
Light, Off & On Rain
The morning runs of the HRRR predicted a steady, half-inch-plus afternoon rainfall. (Sorry to pick on you, HRRR. You weren’t the only terrible weather model today).
Example of the 8 AM HRRR run, predicting 1 PM:
Week At A Glance
86 Monday
The clouds which ruled Sunday should shove off Monday, allowing temps to climb to 86. Humidity, however, will remain sane.
88 Tuesday
Tuesday will also be kind to us (no rain, high 88), but by Tuesday night, “return flow” begins.
When We Will Find What We’re Looking For
When will fall return? If not fall, a taste of fall? Keep reading.
At 6 PM, the cold front had already pushed through Davidson and most of Williamson Counties:
Current Temp:
Dew points are still hanging around 70, so the humidity hasn’t been eliminated, despite the nice breeze from the north.
Today’s Rain, Storm Chances
Last night, we were talking about storms in Missouri which were forming along a cold front. That cold front is still working its way towards us, and the question was whether those storms being pushed in our direction by the cold front would dissipate by the time they arrived here late this morning.
Everyone was watching me and I’m like, “I don’t know.”
The current radar displays (rather poorly) . . .
. . . an active weather system in Missouri. This is the enemy.
The latest run of the Euro model drops about a quarter inch of rain on us between 1 PM and 7 PM. Licensing agreements won’t allow us to post the image here.
