It’ll definitely rain if another dying MCS shows up in the morning (that’s unlikely, brides). Expect another typical summertime slight chance of pop-up showers during the morning and afternoon hours.
Humid conditions persist (dew point 67 at 3 p.m.) courtesy of wet winds from the south. These conditions are causing hit-or-miss (mostly miss) isolated showers and storms to scatter and move north across Middle TN tonight.
Today – High 88
Still “same old same old.” Hot, humid, sunny, and a little windy. But, things will begin to slowly change after today.
Thursday – High 88
The high pressure system driving these very warm days and dry weather will start to weaken ever so slightly Thursday. NWS has a 20% chance for showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon hours into the evening. Many of you won’t see any rain, just very hit and miss in nature.
Wednesday – High 88
Just like yesterday. It might be a good idea to water your lawn one day this week. At least the overnight temps are cooling off nicely into the upper 60s.
Thursday – High 88
Memorial Day
Has it been wonderful outside or what! Temps in the mid 80s this afternoon with the wind kicking up just a bit. No rain is expected, even though the NWS is holding onto a 20% chance of rain this afternoon and a 10% chance of rain tonight. Enjoy the day!
A small minority of weather models deliver a passing afternoon shower, but don’t bet on it.
No rain appears on either short range model, the RAP (below) and the HRRR, through midnight:
Our NWS can’t rule rain out this afternoon, but if it happens, expect only 0.02″, which probably wouldn’t even melt the Wicked Witch of the West. Proceed with all outdoor activities.
Memorial Day
The weather will be awesome! High of 85 with a few clouds. NWS is giving us a 20% chance of afternoon thunderstorms.
Tuesday
Will be very much like Memorial Day. A little warmer high 87 and still humid but no rain expected.
There’s rain on the morning radar, but the NWS and the models say it’ll miss us.
In fact, the models predict dry weather today through midnight:
We may see a few brief late afternoon / early evening showers (from that energy you see in Texas/Oklahoma on the above map), but most of the models disagree and keep us dry. Rain and lightning would be the only real concerns (no severe weather). Don’t alter any outdoor plans.
Tonight
An Air Quality Alert remains in effect until midnight tonight. The general public won’t be affected, but if you’re a child, elderly, or have asthma or other respiratory issues, the NWS suggests limited prolonged outdoor exertion.
The Intern is back from storm chasing, and offers this forecast:
Today
It’s been a pleasant day with temps only reaching the low 70s and plenty of sun. Since those clouds are not around, we will be cooling off quickly once the sun goes down.
