Downpour creeping north into Nashville. No lightning with it. 720 PM.

HRRR model guesses the timing for rain and thunderstorms (non-severe) Friday. Time stamp upper left. More about this tomorrow.

Few lightning strikes, some those house rattling positive strikes. Most of us will sleep thru it. No severe weather worries tonight. Get some sleep. Rain gone by morning commute. Radar from 1205 AM

Sleepytime lightning possible overnight. Think most of us will just hear the rain. No severe weather concerns. 939 PM

No lightning detected anywhere close to us at 8:12 PM. Will take a few hours for the heavier rain to slide east over us. No concerns tonight, y’all, no severe weather.

Cicada invasion soon. Little buggers [NOTE: language sanitized] emerge with ground temps at 64F. Closest reliable data source to us – from the KY mesonet in Warren Co KY – shows their soils getting close to the magic number. We are probably a little bit warmer here, being further south. Our forecast has 87F and 89F temps Wed & Thu. So expect them to start showing up this week. Some of us have already seen them. I lived through the invasion in the 80s and it was not pretty. Pro tip: avoid perms, keep it tight, because those lil buggers [again, language sanitized] will pull up in your hair, shoutout to my screaming mother. Also if you have a vehicle with a big front grille, invest in a pressure washer. read more

Rain, few thunderstorms to begin after dark. HRRR guesses ETA 8-9 PM. Heavier rain after midnight. Lightning only hazard. No hail, damaging winds, or tornado forecast. ETA sunrise Tues.

Planters – First Advisory tomorrow morning. “1 AM TO 8 AM CDT Monday. Temps as low as 33° will result in frost formation.” -@NWSNashville

Rain, lightning ongoing. No severe concerns.

I’m encouraged by the latest HRRR model run, which keeps storms pretty isolated/scattered through the night rather than a big line of angry storms. I’m not betting the house on this, but my anxiety level is pretty low. Loop through noon Friday. read more
