Streams and Rivers Finally Catch A Break

The worst of the rain/storms is gone, but…

A few active flood warnings/advisories are in effect, across the Davidson/Williamson County areas. These are attributed to heavy rainfall causing stream and river rises that could run over into low-lying areas. We’ve already seen evidence of flooding in many spots! read more

Scattered Showers & Thunderstorms Into the Evening

Current radar imagery has showers and some non-severe thunderstorms moving across the entire Middle Tennessee area. These storms, for Davidson and Williamson county so far, have been non-severe. The severe weather threat, however, is still not ruled out. read more

Stormy Period Ahead

Update: The latest run of the HRRR Model isn’t picking up all too well on showers/storms currently moving into middle Tennessee, headed our way. In short, let’s keep an eye on radar as a chance for rain may increase in the next few hours. If the activity holds together, it will impact Nashville proper during the start of the PM commute (4:00-4:30PM). read more

More Afternoon Showers Today, Period of “Dry” Conditions Tomorrow

Showers have begun to pop-up across the Middle Tennessee region. If you have any afternoon or early evening plans, you may want to keep the umbrella handy just in case.

Luckily, any thunderstorms we see today should be weaker than those we saw yesterday. Nonetheless, there is always the possibility of damaging winds and small hail with these afternoon thunderstorms. I will also mention that localized flooding could become an issue for areas that have already received a lot of rain this week. read more

Continued Pattern of Isolated Showers/Storms

GFS Model Loop Through Monday

Of course, this model run alone is not Gospel. However, an active pattern with intermixed dry periods are expected over the next 7 days.

Wednesday and Thursday will be predominantly dry with temperatures into the 80s. A frontal boundary will approach the area Friday, increasing our chances for storms. By Saturday evening, a decent amount of instability and shear will be present to set off thunderstorms along a well-formed cold front. No official concerns of severe weather are warranted yet, but this could very well change as the event approaches. read more

Rain and Thunderstorms for the Remainder of the Day

Scattered showers and some non-severe thunderstorms have begun to fire up across Middle Tennessee. These showers will continue to push through the area for the remainder of the afternoon.

While there is no severe weather expected with any thunderstorms we see, they also need to be taken serious. Frequent lightning, strong wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and even some small hail could be associated with these thunderstorms. Be sure you are not caught outside when one arrives! read more

Tonight.

Dry air set up today between us and Clarksville. As I write this, the dewpoint in Nashville is d-r-y in the upper 40°s, but it’s pretty humid in Clarksville and points northwest, where the dewpoint is over 60°: read more

Good morning, it’s Easter Sunday!

Today’s forecast is difficult. We want to give you the “what, when, where, and how much,” which is do-able when there’s a cold front or something obvious and trackable setting off the rain. read more

Hot! With Humidity On the Rise

Unseasonably warm weather continues across much of the southeast, including middle Tennessee this weekend. Southerly flow will begin to bring in more moisture tonight and tomorrow, foreshadowing our next rainy experience. read more
