For no good reason, I put the radar at the bottom of this page.
A front passed by last night, so today we get a north breeze. That breeze is really only happening north of I-40.
You’d think a north breeze would mean cooler, drier air, but when the weather balloon went up this morning, the dew point was SEVENTY FIVE.
Current Radar
Showers and storms are in the area and more continue to build to our north. We’ll have to watch those as they sink southward, keeping evening plans in mind. It’ll be safer than not to have an umbrella on hand if you plan to be outside.
Current Radar
Most of us have gotten in on some rain today, and we aren’t done yet. A line of storms has developed in Kentucky and will continue marching our way from the north. A few of these could become strong/severe, so…
Current Radar
Any showers that develop this afternoon are expected to exit by the early evening hours. Partly cloudy skies to follow tonight. Should be a fairly quiet night once the rain leaves.
Mother Nature ramps those temps back up to end our week. Temps will reach into the mid 90s with those dew point temps in the low 70s. Very hot day expected and it will likely feel flat out gross outside.
Current Radar
Showers and thunderstorms have developed this afternoon and they will push southeast through the evening. The storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and low-end gusty winds.
Current Radar
Still have a few scattered showers around the area, but the majority of the rain ended up pushing to our west.
Cannot rule out a shower tonight (like that lil feller in yellow), but the stormy stuff done gone west of us, yawl. pic.twitter.com/xoBLOrs5ps
Current Radar
Update: Showers and thunderstorms, some severe, are racing our direction this evening. Damaging winds will be the main threat, in addition to marginally-sized hail. Follow @NashSevereWx on Twitter for up-to-the-minute updates.
Current Radar
Few showers have popped up, and more are possible as we move into the evening. Most of us won’t see anything.
We don’t do much stupid stuff @NashSevereWx, but Sharknado is one of them. Sharknado 4 is tonight. As we said three years ago:
If you have *anything* to do tonight, do that. If not, watch Sharknado on Syfy at 6 pm.

If you’re unfamiliar, Sharknado is one of those movies that’s so bad it’s fun. If you’re still on the fence about watching it, and you’re mature with a refined sense of humor, don’t watch. For everyone else, let’s revisit the Sharknado 3 viewing guide:
Sharknado 3 viewing guide:
1. Lower expectations.
2. Lower them more.
3. Keep going.
4. Gather your friends.
5. Drink responsibly, & enjoy.— NashSevereWx (@NashSevereWx) July 21, 2015
It starts at 7 PM. Sharknado is much more fun watching it live while following the #sharknado4 hashtag. If you DVR it, you’ll miss that social media collective experience thing. 7 PM, y’all.
NWS-Nashville wrote this afternoon that we:
Will need to keep an eye out up in Missouri as we go through the evening as a complex may try and make a run down through western Kentucky and possibly try and make it into northwest Middle Tennessee some time tonight possibly in the late night.
Current Radar
The chance of rain today is low. The reason isn’t exciting, so I’ll just show the HRRR model, below, which thinks a few showers/storms may pop up briefly by mid/late afternoon. Don’t alter any outdoor plans.
Current Radar
Available moisture will be backing off later this evening, allowing most storms to dissipate. A quick shower or two may sneak in, but chances aren’t too high. Temperatures will be comfortable in the 80s for the rest of the night.
