Expect heat and humidity with pop-up afternoon/early evening showers and storms possible this week. Exactly when and where is not knowable.
Dewpoints near/above 70° announce near-oppressive humidity.
Muggy air returns today. It’ll be more humid than it was yesterday. Dewpoints near/above 70° announce near-oppressive humidity returning this week.
After cool/cloudy Saturday, today we’re back to normal: hot/humid, pop-up afternoon/early evening showers and storms possible. NWS-Nashville wrote:
Low 90°s Heat and Oppressive Humidity all week.
The heat index will be near 100° every day in the shade, higher for those working in direct sunlight.
Rain and storm chances remain the same each day this week. There is no reliable way to ascertain whether it’ll be raining during any of your specifically-timed outdoor activities this week, generally, however, we think the following is true:

A slight veering of the surface winds to more southerly today may allow slightly higher dewpoints to advect into the region which could push heat index values into the 100° to 105° range particularly across the Nashville to Clarksville corridor.
Dewpoints will be in the low 70s all week.
On cloudy days, expect highs in the low 90s. Sunnier days, expect mid 90s.

Below is an update from what we wrote this morning. It’s new information. But the same. Hot, Humid, Chance of Rain/Storms.
Hot every day this week. Lower high temps mean more clouds and more humidity. That’s not comforting.
The forecast is essentially the same every day this week.
Hot every day this week. At least 90°. More clouds, and the temp will get closer to 90°; fewer clouds and it’ll get closer to 95°. Today looks like a “fewer clouds” day.
Sooooo hot today through this weekend. Mid 90°s temps. Heat index 97° today, 98° Saturday, and up to 100° Sunday. This heat index rise is due to higher temps and slightly lower dewpoints, but let’s not pretend it’s “dry.” It’s not. Still humid. Still hot.
The forecast this morning was, um, well, yeah it wasn’t great. We thought the AM rain would sap all the water out of the atmosphere and prevent PM rain and storms from forming.
