On a Monday, Dale. Don’t get too excited. But it will be a very welcome change. Sunday afternoon could actually be a nice one if the clouds depart a little early. We’re very excited over here.
Rain This Afternoon, Then Sun
Cloudy Day, Rain Returns Tomorrow
There is some chance that we get a decent break in the clouds this afternoon. It won’t bring back summer, but it will be nice to see the big guy.
If we do get to see the sun, please enjoy it. It won’t be long before we’re back to 100% sky cover.
Drought Improvement With More Rain On the Way
No surprise here, but we’ve improved quite a bit in the drought department, and will likely improve even more over the coming weeks. We’re now only Abnormally Dry. We’re almost there. Let’s get out of this thing.
Can’t Shake The Rain Chances
Heavy rainfall this morning caused some streams and creeks to rise, along with some minor flooding in low lying areas.
There is still a Flood Advisory for the SE portion of Williamson County until 3:45pm. If you come across a flooded road, turn around, don’t drown. You can also report any flooding you see in a tweet with #tspotter.
More Rainy Days Ahead
The wet week continues this morning, and will continue on and off throughout the day and into tomorrow – as shown by the HRRR model below.
- Rain will continue on/off throughout the week until Friday afternoon or evening – when most models expect us to clear out.
- Much lower rain chances for this weekend
- Overall rainfall totals continue to come down – only 1-2″ more inches expected, maybe some locally higher amounts. NWS Nashville thinks the overall risk of any widespread flooding continues to decrease.
- You may hear a rumble of thunder or two, but no severe weather is expected this week or into the weekend.
- Rain chances increase on Monday/Tuesday – more deets on that in the upcoming days.
Above average temps continue throughout the week, cooling off to what we are used to for this time of the year by the weekend.
Rainy Week Begins Today
On and off rain for the week begins this morning, continuing through Tuesday and Wednesday – as shown by the HRRR model below. Heavier rainfall totals today will be south of I-40.
- Multiple rounds of heavy rain will continue throughout the week and into the weekend.
- Generally, rainfall totals will be from 2-4″, with locally higher amounts possible. In these locally higher amounts is where flash flooding risk will be elevated, along with the areas that usually flood. Unsure of where these higher rainfall totals may happen.
- NWS Nashville says a Flood Watch may be needed for areas that are believed to get higher rainfall totals – unsure if this would include our counties at this time.
- Some rumbles of thunder will be possible in the heavier downpours, but no severe weather is expected.
Temps mid-week will be above average, eventually making it back to around normal by the weekend.
One More Dry Day Before A Wet Week
Today will be chilly, with high temps only reaching the upper 40’s, but will at least be rain-free.
In between watching football and what not today, it’d be a great idea to go check your gutters and drains, chances are they likely have something obstructing them (leaves, twigs, etc.) and with all the rain coming up – it always helps when water flows where it is supposed to go.
A Day Or So Break In The Rainy Pattern
Today and likely Sunday are likely the only dry days in the next seven days, how nice….
Today won’t be the prettiest day, but at least it’ll be rain free. If you step outside now, it’ll be the “warmest” you’ll be all day as temps will gradually fall, ending up around freezing late tonight.
Rainy Pattern Ahead
A rainy pattern begins today as warm, moist air moves in. Temps near 60º. Scattered showers are drifting around, but nothing substantial will fall today. Over the next few day significant rain will fall. Let’s get into it.
Wet Pattern On the Way, Maybe Some Decent Rain Totals
Was flipping through some TV Channels last night and ran across Bree Smith saying that Thursday (today) is the only day in the 7 day forecast that is free of rain chances. She’s exactly right. A rainy pattern is a’comin. But, details are pretty sketchy.
