A few of us could see some a shower late tonight, but that’s likely after most of us are asleep – unless you are a night owl. NBD.
Much better rain chances arrive Monday afternoon thru the evening.
Several Rain Chances First Half of This Week
On/Off Showers This Evening – Sunday Morning, Wet Start to Next Week
This Evening thru Sunday Morning:
Rain will soon spread across our area, bringing on/off showers lasting into the overnight hours.
Rain gear probably a good idea for tonight and tailgating Sunday morning. The game itself tomorrow should be mostly dry but can’t rule out a shower or two.
Rainy Saturday PM, Probably (Hopefully) Gone by Kickoff Sunday
All your Friday evening plans look a-o-k weather wise. Temps do us a favor and (barely) stay above freezing tonight.
“Conditions should be comfortable for any AM Christmas parades on Saturday but for any parades that are planned for the afternoon close to the Tennessee River, it will be a closer call in regards to rain.” – NWS Nashville AFD
Nuisance Weekend Rain
FRIDAY LATE AFTERNOON – EARLY EVENING
Sprinkley rain may pull up. Meh.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON TO SUNDAY AFTERNOON
- Light & medium-intensity rain
- ETA mid/late Sat afternoon (phrase is intentionally vague!)
- Off and on for 24 hrs or so
- Most likely raining: Saturday night
- Not concerned about lightning or severe weather
The problem: I’m not sure when it will stop. Most of the rain should be gone by Sunday mid-morning, but for the rest of Sunday we could get a stray shower. Poncho up, fans. Tailgates need tents!
Rain Won’t Ruin The Entire Weekend
COLD MORNINGS

RAIN THIS WEEKEND

Behold below! Another sourced forecast from available model data + NWS-Nashville guidance. Delivered with fear and trembling.
- Nature will not be mocked by my assurance.
- Read with collective humility.
- Abandon preparation and vigilance only after we conquer the future.
- We have not conquered the Middle Tennessee snowglobe future.
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING (AS IN, TOMORROW)
Snow, brief and inconsequential.
Rain yeah, snow meh.
Rain – maybe heavy at times – expected before dawn Tuesday morning.
- AM rush hour may be rainy.
- Umbrellas for the bus stop esp for you earlybirds.
- Those red returns on the HRRR model below may be capable of dropping around 0.25″ to 0.5″ in a few spots. Nottabigdeal and it may miss us.
- Gone before lunch, knock on wood. Day looks dreary.
Disclaimer
Very light showers Tuesday night may become a narrow band of snow early Weds morning.
- No accumlulation expected.
- Ground too warm.
- Snow too scattered, brief, not enough of it.
- Oh I suppose some may see a 0.1″ or less but think this will not impact travel.
Temps plummet Weds and Thurs …
Rainy Evening, Scattered Showers Tuesday AM; Warm-ish Weather Until Wednesday
A fairly consistent, heavy at times will move into the area this evening – providing us with beneficial rain. No severe/winter weather concerns.
The HRRR (below) conveys what the radar might look like thru Monday AM.
A (Brief) Break From the Cold, Rainy Sunday Night & Tuesday
For the first night in a while, we won’t get below freezing. Still chilly though with lows getting into the mid 30s.
Still expecting two rounds of rain, starting on Sunday.
Round One – Sunday Evening thru Monday Morning
Warmer Weather Early Next Week Accompanied by Rain
Still very cold for Saturday morning, waking up to temps in the low 20s, but temps recover nicely – getting around 50° for the afternoon.
The warming trend will continue into early next week, but rain chances are introduced as well.
