Current Official Hourly Observation (taken at :53 on the hour)
From Sunday through Wednesday morning:
- there’s a 0% chance of rain.
- high temps will be in the low 90s.
- it’ll be hot, but humidity won’t be terrible.
Starting Wednesday afternoon, the humidity will worsen, and continue to worsen into Friday and Saturday. As this happens, the chance of an afternoon shower/thunderstorm will return. Typical August.

Today – Mostly Sunny – High 88
Another cooler-and-drier-than-normal day is on tap. Even though there’s a trough of low pressure sitting on top of us, it lacks moisture. The most we will see is a sprinkle or two.

Early this morning we hit 58°, tying the record low daily temp for July 30, set back in 1965.
Today’s temps will cruise into the mid 80°s, alongside humidity levels the NWS calls “unbelievably comfortable for July.” Temps will slide back into the low 60°s, maybe even the upper 50°s.

Record Low Possible, Weekend Rain?
Current Official Temp (updated at :53 on the hour)
Cool, dry air is pouring into Middle TN from the N.
We may see a record low temp early Tuesday morning, 58° set in 1925.

Yet, there is reason to think we might see a few strong or severe storms tonight. A cold front will arrive tonight. Storms are expected to form just ahead of that front.
