Tonight: Rain Chances Decrease, Nice Temperatures

With the loss of daytime heating, rain chances will go down cooperatively. As long as we stay dry, tonight will be a beautiful night with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Our dreary day will continue as we enter the afternoon and evening period for Middle TN. Have some showers and thunderstorms scattered across the region currently with more to our North, West and South. Have had a few showers developing in our area this afternoon so we will keep an eye on those as we head into the evening hours.

So far today model guidance has not been much of any help at all. Starting to see some scattered showers around the Middle TN region, but so far not a whole lot has developed for Davidson and Williamson Counties.

Update: If you’re headed out to the Nashville Sounds ballgame, pack a poncho just in case. Rain chances are expected to be higher for areas northwest of us tonight, but a few straggling showers cannot be counted out.

So far so good on the radar with no showers around our area. Tonight will be much of the same as what could be said for this afternoon. May get a few scattered showers thrown our way this evening; as always, we will let you know if we see any showers developing that could reach us.
A humid, but not too unstable, airmass is atop us this afternoon. This means a few isolated rainers have been racing north. This will continue through the afternoon, then start to die down (but not completely killed off) overnight. Any rain we get will be of little consequence.
#1 That “H” in the Atlantic is known as a Bermuda High. High pressure suppresses rain chances.
#2 That “L” is a surface low. It has caused major flooding in Louisiana. It is pulling moisture in from the Gulf and creating a flash flood threat for those to our west and southwest.
70° dewpoints are not going anywhere today or next week. We are trapped inside a tropical and humid airmass. These dewpoints have been around for a few weeks, and truth be told, we are acclimating. Still, you’re going to sweat alot, don’t be a hero, hydrate.

Afternoon showers that develop will quickly collapse and not pose much of a problem for evening plans. Expect mostly dry conditions with temperatures cooling back through the 80s.


A cold front will be on the approach from the northwest, and the tropical low we’ve been discussing all week long will inch closer to our area. These two systems are expected to merge over the weekend, so throughout this process we can anticipate *at least* scattered storm activity. Additionally, if you are traveling west or northwest over the next few days, you can expect to run into rain at some point.
Update: The peak of the Perseid meteor shower is late tonight into early Friday morning. Short term models are indicating any afternoon cloud cover should clear out enough to see some of tonight’s show. Stay tuned to @NashSevereWx on Twitter for further updates.
