When will fall return? If not fall, a taste of fall? Keep reading.
At 6 PM, the cold front had already pushed through Davidson and most of Williamson Counties:
Current Temp:
Dew points are still hanging around 70, so the humidity hasn’t been eliminated, despite the nice breeze from the north.
Last night, we were talking about storms in Missouri which were forming along a cold front. That cold front is still working its way towards us, and the question was whether those storms being pushed in our direction by the cold front would dissipate by the time they arrived here late this morning.
The current radar displays (rather poorly) . . .
. . . an active weather system in Missouri. This is the enemy.
The latest run of the Euro model drops about a quarter inch of rain on us between 1 PM and 7 PM. Licensing agreements won’t allow us to post the image here.
Today – Typical Summer Pattern – High 92
Today will be much like yesterday. We will be hot and humid, with a slight chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms after noon. The bulk of the activity will stay east of I-65, but a few brief garden variety thunderstorms are possible.

Tuesday
A shortwave will increase our chance for showers and thunderstorms late tonight and early Tuesday. Scattered/numerous afternoon thunderstorms are expected across Middle Tennessee, which will be more likely N of I-40 than S of I-40.
Labor Day is expected to be rain free. One model (HRRR) predicts a mid-afternoon shower, but don’t let that dissuade you from your outdoor plans.
Enjoy your day off from the US Dept of Defense, or possibly the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
