Is It Going To Rain Tonight?

Davidson County is currently (at 6 a.m.) under a Flash Flood Warning and Flood Advisories for Whites Creek at Bordeaux and Dry Creek at Edenwold. Rain will continue to “train” across Davidson County until around 7 a.m. or so.

So, what about tonight? We asked three weather models:

HRRR

According to the HRRR, the rain will return after lunch. Here it is at 1 p.m.:

The rain hangs around for a few hours, then is gone in time for the Titans game, Live On The Green, etc.

The other models do not agree.

RAP

This model keeps a stray shower around for kickoff and the opening act tonight. Here it is at 7 p.m.:

NAM

The NAM also predicts rain at the game/concert tonight, at least at the start:

Our NWS puts the rain chances at 50% to 60% for late afternoon/early evening. More from our NWS:

I’ve been up since 4 a.m., and my rule (which today seems ridiculous) is No Coffee After 2:30 p.m., so in order to function I reached for a Dew (it’s diet, for those of you concerned about me). This is my first soda in several months, and I’m drinking it fully realizing it’s the diet version of 19.25 teaspoons of sugar: read more
