Today brings the week’s best weather. Lower humidity (north winds!) and temps only 87°.
As I write, clouds stream east to west from Arkansas.
Late tonight or Monday morning or Monday around lunchtime, those clouds coming this way may bring us rain.
The weekend is here! During this past work week, we talked about occasional storm chances. Those storms happened, but most of them didn’t form right on top of us. Many places right around us saw substantial rainfall and even flooding, but some of us in Davidson & Williamson Counties are actually getting pretty dry. Here’s where a tenth of an inch of rain or more has fallen over the past few days.
First and foremost…happy Friday!
We are watching two weather features in specific today:
The first is a chance for pop-up afternoon storms, thanks to decent moisture in the area.
The second is a line of showers and storms still well to our west this morning that models are expecting to fizzle, but confidence is not high in this solution yet. Decent lift along an approaching cold front might support this line moving in to our area later today AND/OR more storms could re-develop as part of that line this afternoon.
Today 6:15 PM to 11 PM || Arkells, Michael Franti & Spearhead, and St. Paul and the Broken Bones
The aforementioned popcorn-style showers shouldn’t keep you away from tonight’s Live On The Green! In fact, grab your popcorn and head on down to 3rd Avenue for some great entertainment. Stick with us on Twitter this evening (@NashSevereWx) just in case there are a few pesky rainers are around. We’ll keep you posted!
I wouldn’t be surprised if we stay dry the remainder of today, but we still have a small chance of a rain lottery type of evening ahead.

Another bonus for today is that we should stay rain-free. If you have evening plans tonight, temps will drop through the 70s and into the upper 60s overnight.

A frontal boundary is hanging out with us this week which means we will continue to forecast daily rain chances. As today goes on, this front is expected to slowly sag further south, which means areas in Northern Middle Tennessee will see less rain chances this week than those elsewhere. Somewhere in the middle are Davidson and Williamson Counties.
Expect a cloudy week, keeping temps below 90°. Humidity remains set to “Summer.”
As I write this, storms are breaking out all over Middle Tennessee.
Look for two rounds of storms.
Round 1
Storms developing on top of us, or south of us, beginning now until Round 2 arrives. These storms should work their way north. They are not widespread and you may not see anything at all.
Yesterday’s weather was a fall preview, it wasn’t the full length movie. Although cloud cover will keep temps in the 80°s this week, humidity is on the rise. Expect dew points in the upper 60°s this week. That’ll be sticky and gross.
Things really can’t get any better than they have been today for August. Temps will stay relatively cool even into the evening hours tonight.
A quick fun fact for today:
This morning we tied the record low for August 5, 58° (1974).
