Yesterday certainly produced more in cloud cover- temperatures dropped in the afternoon thanks to the rain-cooled air around the airport. Today we don’t see the MCS dropping rapidly south like it did on Monday. We’ll likely see a few outflow boundries however and in this humid air (dewpoints in your summer-typical upper-60’s) a few storms are bound to develop. Otherwise most of us will see the clouds build in again this afternoon. Where there is more sunshine we’ll hit near the mid-90’s (like yesterday in Murfreesboro) but where the clouds build low 90’s will be the rule.
The rain chances really pick up tomorrow late as a frontal boundary draws close from the north. Below you see how the Predictor shows today’s rain and then tomorow’s front:

Mike, 1954 was the hottest summer on record in Nashville. That isn’t very attractive to me!
