Here Comes Rain, Storms Also Possible

High temps today will push into the low 90s with dewpoints in the low 70s. Humidity is oppressive. Models think precipitable water totals between 2″ and 2.5″ (not that it’ll rain that much) will arrive tonight, indicating arrival of a soupy, sweaty airmass. read more

Today

The humidity and afternoon showers and storms return… back to reality, I guess. For the first time in a couple days, we will have showers in the area. Even though a majority of the rain will be north and west, we have a chance of seeing some here in Williamson and Davidson Counties. read more

Humidity Drop Today

Rain With A Few Storms
