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. read more

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. read more

Cloud cover is keeping temps from rising into the 90°s. Today’s high is 87°.
