Some Big Rain Winners Monday!

A big part of Tennessee stayed dry on Monday, but where the rain fell, it was HEAVY! Many locations picked up 1 to 2 inches of rain in less than an hour!

Here is the wide view of rainfall totals across middle Tennessee...stay tuned below for up close zooms!

Rainfall was more isolated in nature across East TN...but there were still a few big rain winners...

Now, for the zoomed images for the biggest winners! Nashville metro saw a big area of 2+ inch rain amounts, which led to a flash flood warning for much of the afternoon.

Locally near Decatur and Perry counties, nearly 3 inches of rain fell SW of Decaturville, and around 2 inches fell in Parsons!

More Storms Expected This Week

We are starting out Monday with mostly sunny and hot conditions again, but more widespread shower and thunderstorm activity is expected throughout this week.

Rain chances get higher each day as we head into midweek...with a few strong to severe storms also possible.

The SPC has NW TN in a level 1 out of 5 risk for Monday and Tuesday. Damaging winds and maybe some large hail look to be the main threats.

The maps below show the SPC outlook for Monday and Tuesday. The dark green area is the level 1 out of 5 risk. Elsewhere, general thunderstorms are expected in the light green color.

Our next issue with storms will be the very heavy rainfall. Parts of eastern Perry county picked up 2 to 3 inches of rain in a thunderstorm Sunday afternoon.

Some of the storms will be slow moving, so watch out for localized flooding.

This is the WPC expected rainfall through Wednesday on the first image below...then the rainfall potential for the next 7 days in the second map. Notice many areas in the 2 to 3 inch range, with some locations higher than that!

If we see widespread clouds and storms, this will help the excessive heat a bit. Temps will drop into the 70s if you see rain, and even if you are outside of the rain areas, you may get that cool outflow thunderstorm wind that will cool your location off!

Make it a great Monday! Thanks for stopping by to read this forecast update!

Hot with Scattered Storms for Sunday

I hope you've had a good holiday weekend so far! We will finish out our weekend today with partly cloudy and hot conditions again with a chance of scattered showers and storms. High temps will be in the lower to middle 90s across Tennessee.

The image below shows how scattered they will be. This is potential rainfall for today and this evening...

Potential Rainfall for Sunday

These showers and storms will bubble up in the heat of the afternoon, much like we see this time of the year. We really don't have a severe weather threat today, but some of the storms may produce gusty winds and heavy rainfall.

As we go into tonight, most of the storms will die out after sunset. Lows will be muggy again, in the lower to middle 70s across Tennessee.

Monday is a rinse and repeat day, with partly cloudy skies, hot conditions and a chance of scattered storms.

Here is the same map as above for Monday...hinting we may have a little better coverage of showers and storms.

Precip Forecast for Monday

Rain chances go even higher as we get deeper into the week, with Wednesday and Thursday looking like the wettest days at this point.

Stay tuned to updates to the forecast! We will likely post here in the mornings and in the afternoon/evenings each day.

Make it a great Sunday!
