Some beautiful weather to close out May, lots of sun, not a lot of heat + humidity. Enjoy while it lasts!
An unsettled pattern moves in Saturday and will be in no rush to leave.
Saturday midday/afternoon looks like the most likely ETA for rain/storms. No severe weather expected for us, those chances are to our west, but can’t rule out a strong storm or two. Having a back-up plan for outdoor activities won’t be a bad idea. Details still a bit fuzzy, check back in for updates.

Jason and Ashley married and moved to Ft. Bliss. Jason had a boxer, Charlie. He rode motorcycles, played tennis. Jason and Ashley planned a formal wedding after he returned from Afghanistan.
This afternoon/tonight. Clouds are limiting storm potential. Models think rain will fade through afternoon. Graduations tonight may be OK but we cannot rule out an isolated storm popping up.
Storms overnight should mature over Kentucky and drop south. HRRR model ETA 3-4 AM. Lightning, heavy rain, strong straight line winds main hazards. Tornado risk much further west where only a 2% probability within 25 miles is outlooked.
Both of our counties (Williamson and Davidson) are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 7pm, for the possibility of damaging straight-line winds and hail. Another concern today will be flash flooding. If you come across a flooded roadway, turn around – don’t drown. We are not concerned about tornadoes today.
Stormy afternoon and evening ahead of us.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked our Davidson and Williamson counties with a:
And not to be forgotten is the flash flooding threat.
Timing:
Coverage of storms should gradually increase over the next couple of hours.
