Water vapor imagery (dark means dry, white means wet) depicts the rainmaker messing up our weekend:
This morning, light rain was working itself into Middle TN from the SW. The heaviest rain will pass to our West, but we should still see a few light showers before noon. Morning activities shouldn’t be ruined. As of 9 AM, I didn’t see any lightning in the approaching morning showers.

No rain today. Just heat. The NAM’s Dew Point Map shows the area of drier air over us at 1 PM.

Today – Humid, Chance of Rain Later – High 93
Heat indices will be in the upper 90’s.
There’s a small chance a shower will pop up later this afternoon or early tonight. At 5 PM tonight, the HRRR has a few showers wandering around N of I-40. It’s possible one will stray over us, but it shouldn’t be enough to wash us out (NOTE: we’ve been very wrong about that before):

Today – Under the Dome – High 92
A dome of high pressure will help lift our high temps a few degrees above normal. This surface temp, pressure, and wind map produced by the GFS from 1 PM shows the dome of high pressure and a northeast wind (blue arrows).
Dear @NashSevereWx,
Dear Bmack,
1. This should only be a concern if the weather determines whether either of you will say “I do.” I’m betting that’s not a concern, so even if it rains, you will still accomplish the mission of the wedding.

High pressure will keep our temps today, and the rest of the work week, in the low to mid 90’s.
Humidity will remain uncomfortable, but not unbearable.

Williamson County
There were a number of places that received over and inch of rain from the showers and thunderstorms yesterday. This added soil moisture will make us more humid and cause the heat indices to go up.
