Nashville picked up 1.13″ of some much-needed rain on Monday from midday through the afternoon. That brings our yearly rain total up to 36.85″ (about 6.40″ behind average for the year). You can check this list from the National Weather Service to search for rainfall totals in other towns (should be updated during the late morning). At this time last year Nashville had seen 51.17″ of wet weather. We monitored a handful of tornado warnings yesterday afternoon in the mid-state, but thankfully no tornadoes were spotted. There was some wind damage, especially in areas southeast of Nashville. Susan Ortner snapped this picture as her neighbor’s shed blew into her own yard. Winds gusted over 40 mph yesterday just about everywhere across Middle Tennessee, causing minor problems…but at least we avoided the seven tornadoes that were spotted in Alabama.
