Yet another warm and humid day for us with a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms developing in the early afternoon.
While severe weather is unlikely, any storm may throw a tantrum and necessitate a brief warning. But, the most likely scenario is that storms will produce some gusty winds, lightning and heavy rainfall…general summer-time thunderstorms.
Storms are Likely Today, Maybe in Your Backyard
Storms should start forming once we hit 91°, which we’ll do shortly after lunch.
Storm Timing
The HRRR model predicts rain and storms bubbling up in Middle Tennessee starting around 2 PM. This should continue through the afternoon into the early evening. Storms should start to fizzle out around sunset and completely clear the area by midnight tonight. Here is where the HRRR predicts the storms’ general whereabouts this afternoon:
Independence Day Eve (Today)
Right now we are looking at mostly sunny skies which will continue throughout the rest of the day with temperatures continuing to rise into the low 90s.
A thunderstorm is possible in south western Middle Tennessee as the graphic shows, but the Nashville area is in the clear.
A line of thunderstorms is making its way across the state this morning. Upwards of an inch has already fallen, sparking the National Weather Service to put out a flood advisory for Nashville.
Some stronger storms will be arriving later this afternoon into the evening hours. Some could form as early as 2 pm, but they look to be coming through around 4. They should be leaving the area by midnight tonight.
