So we had a shower drop by this afternoon, and we expect more tonight.
The HRRR expects a lot more rain as the front approaches:
Our NWS does too, another 0.37″. Rain is more likely the closer you are to Chattanooga, where they should get soaked. The rain may not really get going until it’s SE of us, but don’t bet on that. Plan on rain tonight.

By midnight, winds will have relaxed below 10 MPH.
It was pretty wild last night — top “official” wind gust was 52 MPH.
Still pretty warm for December.
A rain system will come streaking out of the Gulf, putting showers on our radar as the day wears on.

We hit 73° today, three shy of the record 76° set in 2007.
Not seeing any rain on the radar tonight, although we can’t rule it out. Radar looks pretty clear to our SW.
The cloudy, muggy December pattern remains. No rain expected, but a little drizzler can’t be ruled out.

You may tomorrow. But first, today!
Humid, cloudy, and there’s also a shortwave on the way from the southwest.
The HRRR model has advertised light showers all day, but so far, they’re not materializing.
