Fairly scattered showers will continue through the rest of the evening.
As displayed by the HRRR, most scattered showers will still hold together into the overnight hours, but should lose strength:

Update: So far today, convection has been slow to begin along the I-65 corridor in our two counties. Most activity is staying south and east of Davidson and Williamson Counties.
However, a few showers and storms still remain possible this evening for our area. Anything that develops will have the potential to produce heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and gusty winds. The HRRR Model may be overdoing it a tad, but here’s a general idea of what radar could look like for the next few hours.

Well, those showers have begun to arrive and will be in and around our area through the rest of the afternoon as we head into the evening hours.
With these showers and thunderstorms, there is no particular pattern to where storms will develop. These storms are very random. For the most part, storms are traveling in a general Southwest to Northeast direction.

By sunset, our rain chances will be rapidly diminishing. Only one or two pop-up showers are possible before then.

Otherwise, expect partly to mostly cloudy skies with temperatures slowly falling back into the upper 70s.
Editor’s Note: It’s Memorial Day.
On Memorial Day, we honor those who died in military service. Longtime readers know that as long as we are doing the weather, we are going to remember Army Spc. Jason K. Edens, who died from wounds suffered April 15, 2012, in Laghman province, Afghanistan, when his unit was attacked with small arms fire.
Current Radar
High pressure bossed the weather today. With nothing meaningful challenging high pressure, we got hot: 90°.
Tonight, we’ll be watching a weak trough swinging by from the northwest. It’s been setting off a few showers and thunderstorms:
Current Radar
Clouds won’t cover us today like they did yesterday. More sunshine will mean more heat.
The dewpoint should settle around the mid 60°s, which means high humidity. Affix hairdos accordingly.
Current Radar
Rain chances are expected to move further east very late tonight as an upper level ridge strengthens over our region. A few more showers could impact the region through evening, but otherwise will be mild and relatively uneventful.
Current Radar
Update: A few showers and isolated storms have sprouted up across Davidson County. A couple more are possible through early evening. Otherwise, expect quiet conditions and mild temperatures to continue.
Current Radar
Update: Scattered storms, some severe, are in the area now, and could continue for the remainder of the evening. Damaging winds, hail, and flash flooding are the main concerns.
The HRRR doesn’t have a great handle on the situation, but it is shown below to indicate that we will dry out by about midnight. Expect temperatures to stay mild (70s) and the air to remain muggy.
