The shortwave arrived this afternoon on-time and as-expected, and started spreading light rain in widely-spaced pockets around Middle TN.

So, bring a rain jacket or umbrella, but the lightning will be gone by dark.
We should be pretty clear, although cloudy, in the morning.
As cooler, drier air pours in from the north, an upper level disturbance will swing down the back side of the departing trough. This will cloud us up and may bring intermittent rain in late morning and into the afternoon. It shouldn’t be much, but the weather models are calling for it.

More outflow boundaries are arriving late this afternoon, and may set off more showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Most showers that have initiated so far today have encountered high pressure, and have died off pretty quickly.
