So far, we have remained dry throughout the day. Hopefully this will continue through the remainder of the afternoon.
For those with evening plans, if any showers do develop, they will diminish once the sun goes down.
Showers and a few storms are expected once again on Wednesday as a frontal boundary approaches middle Tennessee. The GFS paints a picture of rain while the NAM is very shy on placing any rainfall over our area. NWS Nashville is leaning towards the chance for rain rather than not at all, and some of these showers/storms could contain gusty winds and small hail.
It’s Memorial Day. As long as we’re doing this, we will remember Army Spc. Jason K. Edens. We remember him today.
He was born in Nashville. He graduated from Franklin High School in 2007. After a few semesters in college, he joined the Army then married Ashley. Assigned to the 1st Squadron, 13th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, Texas, he was deployed to Afghanistan in the fall of 2011.
Memorial Day looks much better with highs in the mid 80s, dry conditions, and plentiful sunshine. Small storm chances exist Tuesday and Wednesday, with a better chance for thunderstorms Friday into next weekend as a front stalls out nearby.
…but the threat for Davidson/Williamson Counties is dwindling quickly. Technically, we are under a severe thunderstorm watch until midnight; however, *a majority* of storms are expected to stay from Williamson county and points south. Regardless, rain and thunderstorms will make for some noisy zzz’s. We’ll keep an eye on any rogue storms that go severe on Twitter @NashSevereWx. If you have damage reports, send a tweet using #tSpotter with the typical “what, where, when” format.
Probabilities (high wind threat)
Note: “PDS” is a tag used to indicate a very high threat for certain criteria, in this case damaging winds.

Showers and thunderstorms are currently (as of 8:50AM) moving eastward towards Davidson/Williamson Counties. A couple of these could spark up, but right now they are not expected to be severe. We’ll monitor them, just in case.
For the remainder of our Friday, expect for calm conditions with clouds increasing as we move through the evening.
Other than that, enjoy your Friday evening!

Dry weather and warmer temperatures are expected Friday as a small ridge of relatively higher pressure traverses middle Tennessee. In fact, a ten degree jump or so in afternoon temps is anticipated, with highs in the middle 80s under mostly sunny skies! It could still be a bit breezy with wind gusts up to 20 mph, but this time it’s out of the south-southwest. Hakuna matata…at least for Friday. Things start to change on Saturday.
