Current Official Hourly Observation (taken at :53 on the hour)
High clouds will stream into Middle Tennessee, announcing the return of humidity and rain/storm chances tomorrow.
This morning I said “rain is not expected Saturday,” and, at the time (9:26 AM), I didn’t expect it. But it appears a weak disturbance is approaching . . .

In this video, Joe Bastardi, a forecaster with WeatherBell Analytics, predicted a very cold and snowy winter. Joe isn’t right all the time, but he’s pretty good.

Current Official Hourly Observation (taken at :53 on the hour)
Overview…[Alert! Technical talk!] Several weak impulses will continue rippling through the diffluent upper air flow the next couple of days, keeping mainly scattered probabilities of precipitation in the forecast until a surface front sweeps across the mid state late Monday night and Tuesday, thereby ushering in a period of dry, cooler weather.

Today – Thunderstorms Likely – High 87
A disturbance carried into Nashville on a Northwest wind is expected to create scattered showers off and on throughout the day. We have an ample amount of moisture in the air, so expect some localized heavy downpours in a few places. Whether we see them in Nashville or Williamson County, we don’t really know. The National Weather Service believes the bulk of the thunderstorm activity will occur during daylight hours, with a few showers possible after dark.
Forecast quandaries confronting NWS-Nashville tonight include (1) a meandering weak summertime surface frontal boundary, (2) convective boundaries from previous day’s convection, (3) differential diurnal heating aspects per cloud coverage breaks, and (4) shortwave passages in developing northwesterly flow pattern aloft.
