The entire area will be at risk for flash flooding tonight when the heaviest rain moves through. Recent excessive rainfall saturated our soil and rose area rivers, creeks, and streams. We are vulnerable to flash flooding, especially tonight when it’s most dangerous because you can’t really see the water on the road in front of you.
We’re going to get a small break from the showers this afternoon and evening. The clouds are still going to stick around though and keep our high temperature at 48°.
Here’s the HRRR model through 5:00 am tomorrow morning.
Most of us received between three-quarters of an inch to an inch of rain around dawn this morning, which is why you probably noticed streams running pretty high on your way into work this morning. There were no flooding problems, but it’s obvious the ground is soaked, and anything that falls for the foreseeable future has no interest in soaking in. It’s going straight to a stream or river.
Windy, otherwise beautiful Sunday. High 59.
Rain incoming. Heaviest Monday, then again Wednesday & Wednesday night.
ETA early Monday morning before the AM commute, lasting off and on into the evening, but as far as we can tell, mostly “on” during this time.
Believe it or not, weekends CAN be nice! For the first Saturday in three weeks, it’s sunny!
FINALLY.
After almost a week of clouds and precipitation, we will see some blue sky today! The precipitation will stay to our southeast. High temperatures today are expected to reach 47º. Tonight will be chilly as temperatures drop below freezing to 30º.
This is not a drill: it snowed! Everyone has been buzzing about the event, and the trend of snow flurries to light snow showers will continue across the area for much of the day. According to the NWS Nashville Twitter page, their office has received 0.9″ of snow! However, further accumulations cannot be ruled out.
Rain will develop in West Tennessee early tonight. From there it’ll move into Middle Tennessee. Temps aloft will fall below freezing, transitioning a light rain to a light sleet, then a light snow. Models agree snow will come out of the sky before midnight, tapering off and ending around sunrise.
We remain under a Flood Watch through Thursday morning. Creeks are up tonight, especially Mill Creek from Nolensville north to the airport, even Stones River was up earlier near Donelson. More rain is coming through mostly south of I-40 between 9 PM and 10 PM in Will Co which won’t help matters.
More rain is coming, off and on today (Wednesday), most of it this afternoon and tonight.
Between 1.25″ and 1.5″ expected through Thursday morning. NWS-Nashville issued an Areal Flood Watch initially for Nashville. Will Co was included in the Watch this morning.
More showers will overspread the region tonight with heavier bursts possible. The most likely window for seeing heavier rainfall looks to be from Midnight-morning commute. So be sure you have your umbrella handy. Low temperatures in the metro will be a cool 50 degrees.
