The Rain Never Came Today

Rain and storms remained stuck near the MS/TN/AL borders. A few showers lifted north toward our air, but those were zapped by drier and more stable air.

We did get a pretty cool roll cloud, though.

Higher Rain Chances on the Way

Rain chances Monday and Tuesday will be higher than the common “summertime pop-up” set ups. Let’s quote NWS!

As the northeast trough lifts out and heights rise, deeper moisture lurking just south of Tennessee will return northward late tonight through Monday. Also, a weak upper trough that has been sitting over north Mississippi will slowly lift north northeastward. These features will combine to spread scattered showers and a few storms across the Mid State on Monday and into Tuesday as well. read more

Sunday – An Area of Light Rain Should Lift North Toward I-40

It’s raining this morning at the Alabama/Tennessee border.

We think that rain will creep north.

The HRRR model illustrates:

Notice how this model lifts what looks like a pretty big blob of light rain through the morning, then by 1 PM, it vanishes. We don’t think it’ll happen exactly like that, but we do think the rain should be decreasing as it comes north. It may not even make it. read more

Tonight: Warm and Muggy, Oof. – 9PM 85°

Afternoon showers/storms should be moving east towards the Cumberland Plateau, giving us an opportunity to dry out. Temperatures will remain in the middle 80s, but the dew points (what helps make the air feel “thick/soupy”) will be in the lower 70s. Ew. read more
