Expect a cloudy week, keeping temps below 90°. Humidity remains set to “Summer.”
As I write this, storms are breaking out all over Middle Tennessee.
Look for two rounds of storms.
Round 1
Storms developing on top of us, or south of us, beginning now until Round 2 arrives. These storms should work their way north. They are not widespread and you may not see anything at all.
Friday
Storms are expected to be more widespread on Friday as a cold front approaches. This front will be moving through during afternoon peak-heating hours, which means a few thunderstorms could become strong to severe. Damaging winds and hail will be the most notable threats. The Storm Prediction Center has us under a 1/5 risk, or “Marginal” risk.
A slight chance of a storm exists today from Davidson/Williamson Counties westward. There’s just enough moisture, apparent on this morning’s upper-air observations, to squeeze out a storm or two. Not everyone gets so lucky, but some burnt area lawns could definitely use it.
Another Glorious Sunday
Breezy, low/no humidity, high 87°, sunny. Winds should top out by mid afternoon around 10 MPH. Probably not enough to support a kite.
But first, another cool morning! 63°!!!!

Totally agree.
High 89°.
Dewpoints will climb out of the 50°s and settle into the low 60°s.
Another kinda-cool morning, 66°, then up to 90° by mid-afternoon.
Rising humidity, with dewpoints approaching 65°.
No rain is expected through Tuesday.
Goodbye cool mornings.
The dewpoint will creep into the upper 60°s (“uncomfortable” range), and with that comes maybe an afternoon/early evening pop-up shower or storm. Wednesday is outside the range of the short-range models, leaving us with little/no additional information about whether it will rain on us (Davidson and/or Williamson Counties) or other parts of Middle Tennessee. No severe weather is expected.
What’s a shortwave?
Yes, that. Also this:
Also known as Shortwave Trough; a disturbance in the mid or upper part of the atmosphere which induces upward motion ahead of it. If other conditions are favorable, the upward motion can contribute to thunderstorm development ahead of a shortwave.
