This post is brought to you by a song I really still like no longer like anymore, from Nelson.
Even though we may still see a few more drive-thru showers this afternoon, the majority of the rain and all of the storms are gone. Strong winds are piling into Middle TN. Wind gusts were found to our west, and moving our way, in the 20 and 30mph range around 3:15pm today:
A BAND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
RAPIDLY EASTWARD THROUGH 345 PM THIS AFTERNOON. AT ABOUT 200 PM CDT...
THE BAND EXTENDED FROM NEAR PORTLAND...TO NEAR FRANKLIN...SMYRNA
AND LEWISBURG. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS RECEIVED THIS
AFTERNOON OF SMALL HAIL...PEA TO DIME SIZE...ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
SHOWERS AND STORMS. SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS MAY ALSO PRODUCE
BRIEF WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH.

Today expect rain this afternoon with a small thunderstorm chance, falling temps tonight, maybe a few snowflakes overnight with little or no accumulation, and a lot of wind. This is “Marchuary” (a term used by Tom Johnstone, who is the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the NWS in Nashville) at it’s finest.
The map below shows rainfall totals under a half inch from Sunday morning through Wednesday morning. Most of this rain will fall this afternoon into Sunday morning and afternoon. We may see a stray thunderstorm or two, but nothing to worry about.
There’s still a small chance these models are wrong, but on this they agree: no rain until around dusk tonight, probably later.
Good news for East Nasty Beer Fest and Afternoon Brides.
