From Sunday through Wednesday morning:
Starting Wednesday afternoon, the humidity will worsen, and continue to worsen into Friday and Saturday. As this happens, the chance of an afternoon shower/thunderstorm will return. Typical August.

Water vapor imagery shows Saturday afternoon rain and storms firing up over SE Middle TN and N Alabama:
Those are drifting ESE. We should remain dry, although it’s possible we’ll see another shower today (we saw one around noon in SE Williamson Co.; it slowly dissipated). Here’s the HRRR loop from 3 PM until Midnight Saturday:
Current Official Temp (taken at :53 every hour)
Early this morning we hit 58°, tying the record low daily temp for July 30, set back in 1965.
Today’s temps will cruise into the mid 80°s, alongside humidity levels the NWS calls “unbelievably comfortable for July.” Temps will slide back into the low 60°s, maybe even the upper 50°s.
Current Official Temp (updated at :53 on the hour)
Cool, dry air is pouring into Middle TN from the N.
We may see a record low temp early Tuesday morning, 58° set in 1925.
This dry, cool pattern has staying power. We aren’t expected to make it out of the 80s all week.

Lots to review.
Current Radar
Yet, there is reason to think we might see a few strong or severe storms tonight. A cold front will arrive tonight. Storms are expected to form just ahead of that front.

The Intern will be in-and-out over the next few weeks. A great time to experiment with different formats!
Those storms strafing Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana Saturday night ….

Sunday
One more cool day
It won’t be overcast all day, but clouds will rule the morning. This will prevent sunshine from warming us up past 84.

Current Radar Loop
Y’all apparently have stuff to do outside tonight & this weekend, so I thought I’d do a second post today with either (a) updated data or (b) fresh wild guesses. I’ll let you decide whether it’s (a) or (b).

Today – Hot & Humid – High 95, Heat Index 99
With moisture continuing to stream in, we can’t rule out a few afternoon/early evening showers or thunderstorms. The HRRR thinks we’ll see just a few, but the Hi-Res NAM predicts a lot of rain around 6 PM tonight (see below).
