Current Radar
HRRR expects rain to continue tonight, gradually tapering off in time for the morning rush-hour:
We expect a few weak thunderstorms embedded in the rain, posing no strong or severe concerns. Some downpours should be heavy, but overall, just a gross night, nothing more.
Current Radar
South winds blowing 13-16 MPH (gusting close to 30 MPH) are efficiently transporting a lot of moisture into Middle Tennessee, setting the stage for a good rain even this afternoon and tonight.
Current Radar
Earlier today, the NAM4 model showed a steady soaking rain starting just after midnight.
We need to adjust the timing and amount expected.
The HRRR has some off/on (mostly “off”) light showers arriving in the morning, but not nearly as dreary as the models showed this morning.

South winds will really start to pick up after noon, transporting warmer and wetter air. That’ll set us up for next week.

So we had some flurries this morning over both counties. Your reports were great! Kept Will busy at the #tspotter desk, but he’s a pro. Ain’t no thang.
HRRR keeps us dry and flurry free tonight. (Pink lines are freezing lines).

Happy Friday!
Today – Clearing this Afternoon. High: 44°
A low stratus deck continues to stay over our area this morning, but don’t worry! We will begin to clear out after lunchtime as an upper level low accelerates to the east then subsidence occurs in our area.
Current Radar
It’s going to feel a lot more chilly out there this evening, with temperatures dropping to the low 40°s by 6 PM.
Winds out of the northwest will stay up around 5 mph under clear skies.

So we had a shower drop by this afternoon, and we expect more tonight.
The HRRR expects a lot more rain as the front approaches:
Our NWS does too, another 0.37″. Rain is more likely the closer you are to Chattanooga, where they should get soaked. The rain may not really get going until it’s SE of us, but don’t bet on that. Plan on rain tonight.
