Back to Normal: Humid, Chance of Afternoon Thunderstorms
Today – Drying Out Afternoon Maybe a Few Showers – High 87
Today’s rain appeared in east Tennessee (near Chattanooga). So far, nothing for us.
South winds will deliver humid air over the next few days. With that comes a slight chance for some isolated rain showers (but don’t bet on it today).
Rain Finally Ending; High Humidity Returning
Today – FLASH FLOOD WATCH – High 74
Clouds are exiting Middle Tennessee, moving north-northeast. The relentless rain shield has moved out.
The HRRR model gives us a few more stray showers tonight. Here it is from Saturday 4 PM to Sunday 1 AM:
More Rain on the Way: 3″ Expected Through Sunday Night
Strong high pressure over Bermuda is pulling moisture in. A trough has set up to our west. This is working to squeeze out the moisture, like wringing out a wet t-shirt.

Wet Fourth Continues Through The Weekend
Friday – FLASH FLOOD WATCH Until 7 p.m. Showers & Thunderstorms, High 82
(7 am 68 . 10 am 77 . 1 pm 81 . 4 pm 82 . 7 pm 80 . 10 pm 74).
Most weather models predict the rain end around 6 a.m. to 8 a.m, if not before then. We may be dry through lunch, and maybe even as late as mid-afternoon. Then, rain chances increase the later in the day we get. Another batch of rain is expected Friday night.
Rainy & Cooler Weather Continues: Wet Fourth?
Rest of Monday – High 84; Scattered Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms have been weaving in and out of the area all afternoon, thanks to a meandering low pressure system that will be hanging around the next few days. Even though most of the storm activity is to our east, there still could be some storms well after sunset. We may also see some patchy fog late tonight.
Cool, Pleasant Weekend; Rain Possible Sunday
Today – High 86
A cold front has pushed through, ushering in cooler, drier air from the north. Aaaahhhh, sweet, wonderful relief.
Less humidity, with only a very slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Any storms that develop will be on the weaker side of things. Nothing to worry about.
Stormy Friday Morning Possible; Better Weekend!
Today – High 95
It’s been quite humid, with heat indices reaching 100 today. You can all feel it in the air, and that is going to be the energy/fuel big storms tomorrow will be using — if they reach us tomorrow morning.
Pop Thunderstorms Are Not Going Anywhere
Today – High 91; Pop-Up Thunderstorms
Keep the umbrella handy. Pop up thunderstorms are moving all over the place this afternoon, and more storms later can’t be ruled out. Don’t mess with these storms, which are distributing lightning in and around them.
Chance of Pop Up Thunderstorms Continue; Gradually Warming
Today – High 88
For the first full day of summer, it hasn’t been so bad regarding temps or humidity.
(Editor’s Note: Humidity levels decreased this morning. Nice morning on the bicycle).
