Widespread Rain/Storms Tonight
Updated HRRR Model
Cooler Temps This Week, More Showers Return Maybe Tonight, Probably Tuesday Night
Maybe Rainy Tonight, Hopefully Not
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.
Next Rain Events: Tuesday Night/Wednesday, & Sunday/Monday
As I write this, a cold front is arriving, scattering a few isolated showers across both counties, moving from west to east. This hit-or-miss activity may linger for a few hours. The HRRR model continues to show it:

Storms Ending, Let’s Go Preds!
Sunday and Beyond
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.

Most of Saturday Looks Good, Rain Most Likely Saturday Night, Rainout Alert Sunday
So when’s it going to rain this weekend?
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″.
Hopefully Dry Tonight, More Showers/Thunderstorms Tomorrow
Dry Tonight? Showers and Thunderstorms Return Saturday and Sunday
Today has turned out to be a fairly nice today some sunshine and highs in the 80s. Luckily, showers have stayed, for the most part, confined to our north which has been great news for those with outdoor plans.
Hot For A Little Longer, Stormy Few Days Ahead
Continued Storm Chances This Week
Let’s see what the latest GFS has to show for more storms into the weekend:
NWS Nashville is in close agreement with this scenario, which means afternoon thunderstorms are possible every day through Saturday. By Sunday, an approaching cold front will significantly increase rain and storm opportunities. Most of us could see 0.5″ of total rain, with higher amounts around 1.25″+ definitely possible.

Latest HRRR Model for Today
Continued Storm Chances This Weekend
Let’s see what this morning’s run of the GFS has to show for more storms into the weekend:
NWS Nashville is in close agreement with this scenario, which means afternoon thunderstorms are possible every day through Saturday. By Sunday, an approaching cold front will significantly increase rain and storm opportunities. Most of us could see 0.5″ of total rain, with higher amounts around 1.25″+ definitely possible.
What about severe weather? A strong storm or two over the course of the next several days isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Hail and gusty winds will be the main threats, but definitely nothing like the Central Plains is seeing today (potential severe weather outbreak).
The good news for Sunday and beyond…temperatures in the afternoon next week will sink back into the 70s! This is more seasonable and provides us some relief, as we aren’t even into summer quite yet.
