It showed up today, sweeping away the humid air that’s been hanging around for weeks.
Water vapor imagery shows humid air in white (departing), dry air in black (arriving):
If you pay close attention to the above, you’ll see the humid air sink south of the TN/MS border, then surge back north of it. Although that’s disconcerting, we are confident our drying out trend will continue tonight, tomorrow, and Tuesday.

Afternoon storms are expected to continue through the late evening hours.

Current Radar
Our dreary day will continue as we enter the afternoon and evening period for Middle TN. Have some showers and thunderstorms scattered across the region currently with more to our North, West and South. Have had a few showers developing in our area this afternoon so we will keep an eye on those as we head into the evening hours.

So far so good on the radar with no showers around our area. Tonight will be much of the same as what could be said for this afternoon. May get a few scattered showers thrown our way this evening; as always, we will let you know if we see any showers developing that could reach us.
A humid, but not too unstable, airmass is atop us this afternoon. This means a few isolated rainers have been racing north. This will continue through the afternoon, then start to die down (but not completely killed off) overnight. Any rain we get will be of little consequence.
#1 That “H” in the Atlantic is known as a Bermuda High. High pressure suppresses rain chances.
#2 That “L” is a surface low. It has caused major flooding in Louisiana. It is pulling moisture in from the Gulf and creating a flash flood threat for those to our west and southwest.
