Another weak line of showers is located to the west of Nashville, which will push east overnight.
Models do show a few rain showers possible after sunrise, with most rain east of Nashville by noon. All rain chances should be gone by late afternoon.
Clouds will be on the increase today in advance of our next weather maker that will begin to move in this evening as an upper level low begins to pass to our north. Expect our afternoon highs to reach the mid-40s as the cloud deck advances from west to east.
High-pressure is working its way into Williamson and Davidson Counties this afternoon. That is evident by the 10-15 mph winds and the clearing skies we are seeing. Afternoon high temperatures will reach the upper 40s. All in all, the only weather impact on your day will the wind, which could gust to 30 mph.
Low level clouds hanging around this morning will be present for much of the day, with some breaks allowing sunshine. The cold front arriving here this afternoon is, this morning, located in the midwest and is moving southeast. Before it arrives, we could see very light drizzle.
A few sprinkles are hanging around just east of Nashville at the 9 PM update. More light showers should develop overnight. Still no thunder expected with these.
HRRR has these light rain showers hanging overhead during the morning commute, but they’ll be on the way out by late morning and gone by afternoon. Cold front and dry air arrives tomorrow afternoon.
Rain should be here Monday.

When: Although a few morning showers possible, the main rain event begins around 3-4 PM and should end a few hours later. ETA may need adjustment tomorrow morning, but models today have been consistent with these ETAs and ETDs.
Five years ago today, January 6, 2014, 4° was the low and 20° was the high.
Today, most of the US woke up above freezing. Where were the below-freezing temps? See the purple, below: the mountains out west and the upper Midwest.
The rain has ended, the clouds are gone and the sun has returned for the weekend!
We’ll see an afternoon high around 58°, unseasonably warm for early January (47° is normal). Once the sun goes down, though, temps will drop into the mid 30°s.
Rain is the story of the day across middle Tennessee as the low-pressure system we have been talking about for the past couple of days makes it’s way through. The center of the low will track right over southern Tennessee today, though rain chances will become limited due to a more northerly track than what was expected.
This morning’s rain has come to and end. For the bulk of today, we’ll stay dry with thick clouds remaining overhead. These clouds will help to keep us cool with a high around 47°.
More rain will arrive this evening as a low pressure center slides eastward from the Great Plains. The HRRR and NAM both think the rain should arrive around 9 PM. Our forecast low is 39°.
