Alberto is finally on the way out of Tennessee. Thus, the Flash Flood Watch has been discontinued for Williamson and Davidson Counties.
Alberto has left exceptionally humid air behind, with dew points in the low 70s expected through Saturday. That’s low-end oppressive:
Memorial Day isn’t Veterans Day. Memorial Day remembers those who died in defense of our country.
Alongside many of you I paused my Saturday on a warm day in 2012 to stand along Columbia Avenue in Franklin as the processional of Army Spc. Jason K. Edens passed by. I didn’t know him or his wife or his family and I still don’t know his family. But I decided as long as I have an audience – and I don’t hear from his family otherwise – that he would be the soldier we remember on Memorial Day.
Any showers and storms are drifting to the NW thanks to Tropical Storm Alberto. Satellite as of 4:05 PM: pic.twitter.com/fMWk7eA0Wa

Good morning Nashville! We are moving back into the summertime pattern with hit or miss showers and storms all day. It looks like coverage will be fairly good for the daytime hours, dying out by sunset. HRRR illustrates. A couple of these storms could be on the strong side, so stay aware if you have plans outside today. The good news is that these should be “pulse” storms, and organized severe weather is not expected.
High pressure has built into Tennessee, keeping the clouds away.
The HRRR model, below, shows some rain forming all around us, but nothing in Davidson or Williamson Counties.
Without clouds to shade us, temps are going to hang around in the 80s for much of the day, topping around 90, and although it’ll still be humid, it won’t be as humid as it was yesterday.
A high-pressure system has moved into the Ohio River Valley. It’s working to suppress our rain chances. We suppose a shower or two today is remotely possible, but we think that’s really unlikely. We remain hot, with temperatures in the upper 80s, and humid, with dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s.
