Current Radar
Severe and tornadic thunderstorms are now ongoing in Arkansas and approaching Memphis. Those storms are expected to weaken by the time they cross the Tennessee River, reduced only to a few weak thunderstorms and rain by time they reach here early Monday morning. The HRRR model illustrates this weakening.
Current Radar
Into tonight expect to see cloudy skies with the occasional drop of rain into the early morning hours tomorrow. Rain chances will remain under 50% through the night and increase into the morning hours. Areas to our west have higher chances of rain throughout the night. Winds will be calm through the night.
Current Radar
The rain has begun. Be careful and take your time on the way home from work and school this afternoon…heavy rain and a few embedded thunderstorms will be around through about 8PM.
Rain will then continue off and on throughout the weekend with Saturday morning looking to be the best chance to escape the rain for a little bit.
Current Radar
Check out the radar, above. Rain is piling up and raising flooding concerns in Louisiana, Arkansas, and West Tennessee.
When’s in coming to Middle Tennessee? Well, THAT much rain isn’t. But it’s going to rain here, and it’s going to be warm.
Current Radar
Clouds will remain throughout the night. Just like today, skies may clear a little in the night but clouds high in our atmosphere will remain.
Below is the total cloud cover which shows clouds throughout our region and a possible slight break in the evening hours:
Sunday’s light south wind becomes a strong south wind Monday. Therefore, higher temps!
The NAM4 model wants to sneak in a few light showers from the west during various parts of the day; however, both the big global models (GFS, Euro) think the rain-suppressing ridge sitting off our east is strong enough to fight them off. Rain isn’t in the official forecast, but we should at least account for the NAM4’s intermittent, very light, no-rainout, showers.
