A frontal boundary is hanging out with us this week which means we will continue to forecast daily rain chances. As today goes on, this front is expected to slowly sag further south, which means areas in Northern Middle Tennessee will see less rain chances this week than those elsewhere. Somewhere in the middle are Davidson and Williamson Counties.
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.
