Dry weather and warmer temperatures are expected Friday as a small ridge of relatively higher pressure traverses middle Tennessee. In fact, a ten degree jump or so in afternoon temps is anticipated, with highs in the middle 80s under mostly sunny skies! It could still be a bit breezy with wind gusts up to 20 mph, but this time it’s out of the south-southwest. Hakuna matata…at least for Friday. Things start to change on Saturday.
Good news, the bulk of the showers have moved through and will continue to move to the east.
The iffy news is that we still have a chance of showers through the remainder of the evening. While we shouldn’t see a lot more, we still could see a rogue shower or two.
So far, so good today. Clouds have continued to increase throughout the afternoon, but so far we have had a nice dry day. Expect for clouds to continue to increase as we head into the evening hours. You may want to bring a light jacket with you tonight if you have any outdoor plans as temps will fall into the 60s by 8 PM.
A total of 1.06″ fell in the official rain can at BNA from yesterday’s rain.

Radar Estimated Storm Total Rainfall, which isn’t that reliable for raw totals, but it has a good idea of who got the most rain. Green is less than 1″ and yellow is more than 1″:
Scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder will remain possible through Sunday afternoon. The severe weather threat will be next to nothing.
Our pattern will be to trend cooler through the week, especially towards next weekend. Uncertainty exists about a potential rain/storm maker on Wednesday.
Let’s start by saying it’s very probably going to rain this weekend. And very probably a lot.
Thru Sunday night, the Euro model predicts 0.5″ to 0.7″, which is more than enough to rain out most anything. The GFS model is running higher totals, between 1.0″ and 1.1″. NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center has even more, taking the totals closer to 2″.
