Summary: Chance of pop-up rain and storms today. Monday is likely a washout.

Today, we have a 50% chance of rain with our high temperature reaching about 83 degrees. Winds will be breezy out of the south southwest at 10 to 15 mph.

While yesterday was very on-and-off rainy and drizzly and gray, today you will likely see more sun and blue skies. However, there is an increased amount of instability in the atmosphere, so pop-up showers could turn into storms with lightning and gusty winds.

The HRRR model simulated radar is indicating an increase of pop-up showers starting at about 1pm today.

A cold front pushes in Monday

A cold front will push its way through Middle Tennessee on Monday, bringing with it a chance of rain at 70% and a high temperature of about 80 degrees.

This cold front won’t bring with it widespread severe weather, however one or two storms could get strong enough to warrant a warning.

The NAM4 model offers us a glimpse into what to expect for Monday. A line of showers and storms will move into West Tennessee around 4 am.

As this line moves closer to us, it appears to just fall apart. Here’s NAM4’s simulated radar for 6am.
