Tonight – Looks Pretty Good

We think the rain should stay east of us tonight, but we are not completely ruling it out.

HRRR supports the Looks Pretty Good Tonight thinking:

Sunday 84° Another Day of Scattered Showers/Thunderstorms

Rain chances remain higher Sunday vs. today. An arriving upper level low pressure feature + a shortwave from the Mississippi Valley = a pretty decent chance of at least a little rain, maybe more.

Saturday 89° It May Rain After Noon 

An arriving area of low pressure aloft, despite weak high pressure at the surface, means rain chances are back.

Today 88° Rain Tonight?

From the afternoon forecast discussion from NWS-Nashville:
