Relief!
Humidity has dropped! We’ve endured Oppressive humidity for the past several weeks, but today, we are moving two places down the meter to the Sticky range. Even though still Sticky, it is all relative, the change is going to feel amazing.

Drier Pattern Begins Wednesday, Finally! Until Then, Dodge Those Showers.
A thunderstorm complex passed mostly south of us this morning.

Said threat will taper off by the afternoon, so most (hopefully all) activities are looking good.
Week Ahead: Humid, Several Rain Chances, Dry Wednesday, “Interesting” Weekend
Light rain is moving closer and should arrive tonight, but do not expect a repeat of what we saw this morning.
All quotes (but one) from NWS-Nashville:
Many of the storms should dissipate this evening but the threat for additional storm development will continue overnight and Monday as the upper level trough approaches VERY SLOWLY before finally moving east of Middle TN. The threat of heavy rain will continue due to the rich moisture but threat for severe storms is muted due to marginal CAPE values.
More Rain Today?

Radar estimates through 9 AM show where the heaviest rain has fallen:
There was also 2″ of rain down I-24 in SE Davidson County, near/around Cane Ridge.
