A wet and cool afternoon is the story of the day here in Nashville. We are still watching the light rain traverse the area from west to east. High temperatures will struggle to reach 60º this afternoon with cloudy skies overhead. The rain will be exiting by midnight. Keep an umbrella handy through the day.
The clouds and storms are gone. As details about the tornado outbreak last night arrive, we’ll post them to Twitter.
Weak surface ridging will build in this afternoon and tonight – therefore, no rain, high temps this afternoon in the upper 60°s. Temps will fall into the upper 40s by sunset.
We’re pretty tired.
Nice weather for Election Day.
A new forecast will be written here sometime tomorrow morning.
Rain is likely late Thursday.
Freezing temps likely early Saturday and Sunday mornings.
This Tornado Watch is in effect until 3 AM, although we think the storms will be long gone by 3 AM.
The tornado and damaging wind concern will exist in a long, main line of storms. That storm line will be to Nashville and Will Co as early as 9:30 PM, perhaps as late as midnight.
This morning my friend Melissa asked “when do I need to pay attention to this?”
Tonight, Melissa. Tonight.
A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will form and move from northwest to southeast across Middle Tennessee tonight. All models show this. Below is one, the HRRR, one of my favorite weather models:
(If you read our forecast this morning, the new information on tomorrow night’s severe storm threat is in blue).
Official NashSevereWx Correspondents dispatched to Memphis this morning confirm the rain falling now is cold.
It’s going to get breezy this afternoon, even windy, with gusts up to 25 MPH.
High today 64°.
Afternoon rain is expected. It should cross the Tennessee River around lunchtime and arrive here around late afternoon, aka, around the time it’s getting dark. The HRRR model illustrates:

Saturday was our last day of regular daylight because:
Sunup at 6:12 AM. Temp 48°. Afternoon high 65°.
Sundown at 4:48 PM. Four forty eight.
I don’t want to bury the lead about Monday night’s severe weather concern, but I will, because chronology prevents confusion.
Fog has been a pre-dawn problem in spots. It should lift around sunrise.
