Scattered showers and storms this morning will lead into more widespread storms this afternoon, especially along/East of I-65. Here’s the HRRR:

Warm and Humid Thursday

Showers moved through the area this morning.

Weaker showers are forming to our southwest and may or may not make it here today. They’re scattered and light and will probably miss us. For most of the day, we should stay dry until late tonight. read more

Late this morning a warm front will lift north over us. Go outside later, you’ll feel it, rising dewpoints, rising humidity.

When rain this morning in Memphis gets to us sometime this afternoon, it’ll encounter a low amount of instability read more

Rain today should pull out before 4 PM, but clouds linger.

Wednesday Storms

Up to 74F Wednesday. A stiff south breeze will transport moisture, while energy passing through sets off another round of off and on rain and maybe some thunderstorms throughout Wednesday. read more

Wet Week Ahead

Scattered to widespread showers hang around Middle Tennessee all morning. We expect to begin to dry out between 5PM-7PM, so today isn’t a complete washout, but if you’re heading out before then, take the umbrella. Here’s what the HRRR model thinks might happen: read more

Sometimes they do a “growl” for certain sirens (not a full wail) for testing purposes, but until this morning I was never exactly sure when they might do it.

Sirens are a secondary warning method for those outside. You aren’t guaranteed to hear them. Best to have a wake-me-up app on your phone and a NOAA weather radio in your house. Sirens aren’t designed to be heard inside and there’s no guarantee you will always hear them outside either, especially if you’ve got your earbuds in, Denise. read more

Rain likely Monday night, ETA sometime after dark, lasting through the overnight hours. 0.26″ total, a few showers may linger into daylight Tuesday but if that happens, it won’t be much more additional rain. read more

Off and On Rain Today

At 9:07 AM a little rain was coming in.

Off and on rain during the day. Rain will be scattered all across Middle Tennessee. Tonight, around 8 PM (give or take a few hours), rain turns on.

A half inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain total. No severe weather. read more

Rain Puts A Damper On The Weekend

Pretty quiet this afternoon. Most of us will see at least a little bit of sun this afternoon with some breaks in the clouds. The forecast discussion from the NWS-Nashville puts it perfect:

“Holy cow. Is that the sun?” read more

We dodged two rounds of storms yesterday. The “cap” (a layer of warm air aloft) put a lid on our volatile atmosphere. Prevented more bad stuff. WTG cap.

The cap works like a kink in a hose. You can have the water flowing, but kink that hose and nothing comes out. read more
