And just like that those afternoon showers decided to rain on our parade. We still could see a few more pop-up storms in and around the Nashville area through the remainder of the afternoon. Main concerns with these are heavy rainfall and damaging wind gusts.

Any afternoon storm development will be shutting down by sunset. Expect warm and muggy conditions this evening with temps in the mid 80s by 9PM. Abundant moisture in the air makes it more difficult to cool down, so your post-workday lounge on the porch may not be as comfortable as other nights. Even your camera phone feels the moisture-laden, soupy air.

Any lingering shower from this afternoon shouldn’t last much into the evening after sunset. Partly cloudy skies should follow through the night.
The NAM 4 shows us getting some scattered showers during the late overnight hours (after midnight) but seems to be the only model with this thinking. Worth the mention, but we will wait to see what the HRRR has to say about that happening later this afternoon.

As a trough slides east of our area towards the Plateau, we will dry out for any evening plans. Don’t forget, tonight is a night of music and barbecue at Nashville’s Rib and Jazz Festival downtown in Cumberland Park! Mmm…barbecue.

Thunderstorms have formed to our northwest today in response to an approaching cold front. The latest high resolution models have these storms holding together long enough to make it into our area this evening/overnight:

Rain came early today. Still have a few lingering showers that should exit as we head into the evening hours. Partly cloudy skies will follow behind, may eventually get some clear skies overnight.

For the most part, expecting clear to partly cloudy skies through the evening. The early evening time frame should remain rain-free. As we head into the late evening, early early AM hours we have a very slim chance of seeing some showers.

After the sun sets, any storms will deteriorate. That’s summertime! An enjoyable, cooler night is ahead with temperatures falling into the upper 70s by 9PM.
NWS Nashville is keeping the rain chances out of our forecast for Wednesday. However, with dew points in the low 70s and low 90s for high temps, it’s hard to ignore those numbers. Hot + humid + forcing mechanism = BOOM!…a thunderstorm is born.
