Rain will run off and on today and tonight, then turn steadier Saturday morning. HRRR below:
Rain should end around mid-afternoon Saturday.
This doesn’t look to be a complete washout, but we will get a decent soaking. About 1/3″ to 1/2″ possible, with more rain the further north you go.

Those “warm and happy thoughts” will lead to high near 80 today.
Warmer temps will provide more energy for showers to develop Thursday afternoon. HRRR Model predicts most of the showers will stay to our north.
Our temperatures will continue to trend well above average by over 15º.
We can thank a surface high weather regime for these May-like temperatures. The surface high pressure will begin to move off to our northeast by tonight.
Nothing happening until Thursday, when rain sets up north of us.
Will it get here? Maybe not. Thursday showers will mainly stay north of I-40. They may not even make it into Davidson County.
But Friday and Friday night that stationary rainmaking boundary should sag south and send a few off and on, scattered, and unconcerning showers into to our area. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible, but just thunder and lightning, nothing severe.
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts…
High pressure remains in store for us through most of the work week and spring-like temperatures will continue for Nashville sitting at or above 70 degrees for most of the week!
There had been 5 straight days of rainfall. It would continue for another 6 days, setting the record in Nashville for the most consecutive days of rainfall.
This record was almost broken 23 years later. Beginning on March 7, 1978, Nashville saw 10 consecutive days of rainfall.

Warming up nicely out of the 40’s today with lots of sunshine.
One year ago, many of us were beginning to understand the magnitude of what had happened. We had watched the horrific scene of a strong tornado moving through our city live on our screens hours before, but this wasn’t your average tornado video off YouTube. It was our city, our home, our friends, our neighbors.
