Current Radar – behold the rain approaching from our SW
I wrote this just before 2 PM this afternoon:
Despite what HRRR says, I remain unconvinced the rain will be here before noon tomorrow. I'll feel better about timing tonight.

Happy Friday!
High pressure will keep us dry today with winds out of the NE bringing in drier air. Dew points will be in the low 40s this afternoon.

A big cool-down is ahead tonight. We’ll be into the 50°s by dinnertime.
I expect we’ll still be dry, although pesky showers may be fiddling around to our east:
Nothing that will mess-up any outdoor plans tonight, though.

As you can see from the above radars, what little rain we have is coming from the south. Expect off-and-on, mostly “off,” drizzle and light showers tonight.

Poncho up, y’all. We’ll need them through the next few days. Today will be the “driest” day through Wednesday.
As you can see, the rain blob is SW of us, spinning around that low pressure center. That NE appendage is what’s going to deliver us our rain today.

A moisture plume remains stretched from Mexico to Tennessee. Most of our atmosphere is saturated (precipitable water is two standard deviations above normal), but at the low levels, there’s still a little dry air. As a result, some rain visible on radar is only hitting the ground as sprinkles or light rain.
