This morning, light rain and drizzle is moving in from the west.
NWS-Nashville calls this rain system “a mere whimper. Rainfall totals should be less than a tenth of an inch and without any instability and even less shear, we will only be looking at showers.”
This afternoon we tied the record high temp for November 5, 82 set in 1975.
Meanwhile, severe weather has been ongoing in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana this afternoon, fueled there by a cold front.
That cold front will approach tonight.
One week ago we faced a Frost Advisory. Today, this.
Today clouds and sun, high 81°, very humid (especially for November, dewpoint 65°!), and very windy this afternoon, south wind sustained ~ 16 MPH gusting to 28 MPH. Rain likely to start around midnight.
Officially the forecast low overnight is 35° in Nashville and 34° in Franklin. Those with less pavement around you should dip to or close to freezing. Our Frost Advisory is effective at Midnight and runs through 9 AM, technically the coldest temps are expected just before sunrise.
Wood expands and contracts in the summer and winter. With these overnight cold temps, boards in your house “pop” pretty loud, especially in the middle of the night when it’s coldest. It can be so loud you may think someone sinister is inside your house burgling your meat and cheese foodstocks. Do not worry, it’s not a “robber” as is the phrasing at my house, also it’s probably not this guy:
It’s going to rain tonight.
We may see a few light showers beginning around 7-8 PM, but the heavier rain will wait until overnight/early Monday morning.
ETAs may change, so check back here and/or on Twitter with @NashSevereWx for more info. The rain line won’t move east quickly.
Expect a breezy/windy Sunday afternoon. Gusts in the 20 MPH range are possible. It’ll be overcast, high 79°, with the return of late summertime humidity.
Rain will be here late tonight.
Last night we thought it would be here around 7 PM, but models overnight have pushed the ETA back. Expect rain to start well after dark, as a slow, light rain gradually increasing through the night.
The cold front showed up around 3:30 PM. You could see the cooler northwest wind arrive on radar:
It has come with a breeze.

Before 8 AM, warm, humid air was streaming in from the south, with a cold front pushing rain toward us.
Winds will pick up (13 MPH or so), then that rain will be here this afternoon.
The HRRR model thinks a main “line” of rain, briefly heavy, will show up between noon and 1:30 PM or so, followed by maybe another light passing shower before dark.
As sunset sped west (the sunset is the white stuff coming in from the right), what’s left of tropical depression Nate was speeding just southeast of us.
Nate’s hurrying toward Pennsylvania tonight and tomorrow morning, taking its rain with it. The HRRR model illustrates:
