Tonight

A few showers, and maybe a few weak thunderstorms, should stream in from the SW, moving NW. Storms usually come from the opposite direction, so we call these unusually-moving storms “Crazy Ivans.” These Crazy Ivans will be off and on. read more

Today – Strong/Severe Pop-Up Afternoon Thunderstorms Possible – High 85

SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has posted a Severe Thunderstorm Watch to our northeast (in KY and parts of IN) until 9 PM. We’re excluded from the Watch, but the system creating the severe weather over there is the same one threatening us. read more

Storms are expected to develop this afternoon from I-65 east toward Knoxville. They’ll move NNW. This is illustrated by the HRRR, which is predicting what the radar may look like at 4 p.m. today.  I put a box around Davidson and Williamson Counties. read more

Today – Sunny – High 85

It’s been a pretty awesome weather day as we all recover from Sharknado: dew points in the 50s, with temperatures only reaching the low to mid-80s. Feels like college football weather is on it’s way (it’s not). read more

Today –  Thunderstorms Possible – High 94

The heat index made it over 100 today.

Today –  Pop-Up Thunderstorms Possible – High 93

There could be a few random blips of rain in the area today.  Most of the action is well to the east, near Cookeville. We may see a few showers try to sneak in from the northwest later on, but the HRRR isn’t a believer on them getting here. read more

Today – Drying Out Afternoon Maybe a Few Showers – High 87
