It’ll Get Hot This Week
Gradually. 76ยฐ Monday, mid 80ยฐs Tuesday through Thursday.
Editor’s Note: Seven years ago today, the southeast suffered a generational tornado outbreak. Today we remember those lost. For a gripping, well researched, and a heavy, sad book, peeling back the layers of this tragedy, and telling true stories of grief, horror, survival, and loss, read What Stands in a Storm, by Kim Cross.
This flood advisory has been issued for the Stones River in Davidson County. Water levels are expected to fall out of the Action Stage by this afternoon.
This week does not look like it will be drying out anytime soon. We still have a few chances of rain today as this low pressure system continues to spin (COUNTERCLOCKWISE!) over the southeast. The heaviest showers are finally moving eastward and out of Tennessee, so we’ll be left with spotty showers throughout the day.
Good morning Nashville! Low pressure is going to move across the state of Tennessee today. This morning, it was centered in the Memphis area and will move east as the day progresses. You can see it in the HRRR 3km simulated radar this morning; it is able to be depicted by the center of rotation of the showers today. All in all, looking at on and off rain for Williamson and Davidson Counties this morning. High of 68ยบ expected today. A thunderstorm or two is not ruled out.
Through 3 PM, 1″ of rain has fallen at BNA.

Radar thru 6:32 AM shows rain inching closer to us.
You can update this radar on our radar/camera/tweets page here.
All models predict rain to work east and wash us out today.
The HRRR model thinks it’ll rain from mid-morning until 10 PM (and likely longer; this model only runs thru 10 PM):
Sunshine on a Saturday has us all excited!
This break in the clouds has been brought to you by a bubble of high pressure hanging over central Tennessee. It’ll hang on for one more day before being pushed east as rain moves in later on tonight.
Enjoy these warmer than average temperatures today, because they will be gone tomorrow! (But not by much)
