We will see some scattered showers and thunderstorms today as an upper-level low and front move eastward.
The HRRR model shows the main cluster of rain this afternoon has now passed us, with scattered showers during the evening and nighttime hours. None of the rain really gets heavy. It’s scattered and pretty weak.
Our Saturday afternoon is going to be a very warm one! We’re going to climb up to 90° this afternoon as the sun beats down on us with partly cloudy skies. Along with the heat comes, you guessed it, humidity. Dew point values are going to be in the low 60s this afternoon when we hit our high. We’re going to see a greater chance for some scattered showers and storms after 4pm this afternoon. The HRRR is showing a few of these storms moving Northeast through our area, but not washing us out by any means:
Boy oh boy are we looking at a beautiful Friday afternoon! A perfect day for some Friday afternoon and Friday night plans, with bright sunny skies and warmer than normal temperatures. We could see Middle Tennessee hit 90° for the first time this year, topping out at around 91° this afternoon. We’ll only drop down to a low of 67° overnight, with clear skies. However, along with all that heat, comes humidity. Dewpoint values will be a little high in the mid 60s this afternoon so keep the hairspray and sunscreen handy!
This morning’s round of rain has exited our two counties. HRRR (below) shows the possibility of a couple of leftover showers behind this morning’s main rain blob. At noon, these are weakening on radar as they approach from the NW, but they could still give us some light rain in the afternoon hours.
Any lingering showers should move out of the area within the next hour or so, leaving us with comfortable weather for the remainder of the day.
EDITOR’S NOTE:
There is a chance we could see an overnight shower and hear a rumble or two of thunder. The HRRR model shows some rain moving in from our west overnight. It should pass before the morning commute to work.
We expect a dry morning. As you’re making the final outfit decisions, know that rain is in the conversation, and the best option is to have a couple options. The rain we had yesterday evening and overnight is gone, but it has left the ground quite soft. After thousands of people and hundreds of vehicles make their way around the infield, it’s going to get muddy. That being said, you won’t need rain jackets as you set up your tailgate spot or unpack linens in your box. We expect a high of 74º at 4pm.
