The heat advisory continues through 8PM tonight. Afternoon storms will continue into the evening, until the sun sets. That’s when the valve shuts off and we dry out. Temperatures will “cool” into the 80s, but with ample humidity, it will still feel a bit uncomfortable outside.

A few frog stranglers/severe storms have popped up across the area this afternoon. For updated warning information visit @NashSevereWx on Twitter, and send any storm reports to #tSpotter.
Remaining storms will dissipate by mid evening, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies behind. Humid air will stick around, but at least the temps will be a bit cooler following the rain.

Expecting for mostly clear skies through the overnight hours. Still have a small chance of some pop-up showers developing, but since they haven’t so far, our chances have diminished. Stick with us on Twitter @NashSevereWx for the most up to date information. We will let you know if we see any rain/storms developing.

And just like that those afternoon showers decided to rain on our parade. We still could see a few more pop-up storms in and around the Nashville area through the remainder of the afternoon. Main concerns with these are heavy rainfall and damaging wind gusts.
Current Radar
Any afternoon storm development will be shutting down by sunset. Expect warm and muggy conditions this evening with temps in the mid 80s by 9PM. Abundant moisture in the air makes it more difficult to cool down, so your post-workday lounge on the porch may not be as comfortable as other nights. Even your camera phone feels the moisture-laden, soupy air.
Current Radar
Any lingering shower from this afternoon shouldn’t last much into the evening after sunset. Partly cloudy skies should follow through the night.
The NAM 4 shows us getting some scattered showers during the late overnight hours (after midnight) but seems to be the only model with this thinking. Worth the mention, but we will wait to see what the HRRR has to say about that happening later this afternoon.

As a trough slides east of our area towards the Plateau, we will dry out for any evening plans. Don’t forget, tonight is a night of music and barbecue at Nashville’s Rib and Jazz Festival downtown in Cumberland Park! Mmm…barbecue.

Thunderstorms have formed to our northwest today in response to an approaching cold front. The latest high resolution models have these storms holding together long enough to make it into our area this evening/overnight:
