Above you see some rain/storm chances on Predictor this afternoon. We wake to clouds moving in from the west. These clouds will break apart a little bit this afternoon but a few storms/showers will develop. Most of the activity will be along the Tennessee river I suspect but at least a Ten percent chance for everyone. The skies will clear out some this evening under that almost full moon (it is full tomorrow night). The weekend looks dry with highs in the mid to upper 80’s.

Have a great weekend everyone!
1787 - Tornadoes were reported in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. Wethersfield CT was hard hit by the tornado outbreak. (David Ludlum)
1946 - Saint Louis, MO, was deluged with a record 8.78 inches of rain in 24 hours. (The Weather Channel)
1967 - The “sundance fire” in northern Idaho was started by lightning. Winds of 50 mph carried firebrands as much as ten miles in advance to ignite new fires, and as a result, the forest fire spread twenty miles across the Selkirk Mountains in just twelve hours, burning 56,000 acres. The heat of the fire produced whirlwinds of flame with winds up to 300 mph which flung giant trees about like matchsticks. (David Ludlum)
1987 - Thunderstorms developing ahead of a sharp cold front produced severe weather in the Upper Midwest during the afternoon and evening hours, with Minnesota and eastern South Dakota hardest hit. A thunderstorm in west central Minnesota spawned a tornado at Eagle Lake which killed one person and injured eight others. A thunder- storm in eastern South Dakota produced softball size hail at Warner. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)
1988 - Thirty five cities in twenty states in the north central and northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Lamoni IA and Baltimore MD, where the mercury hit 105 degrees. Temperatures 100 degrees or above were reported in twenty-two states. Pierre SD was the hot spot in the nation with a high of 114 degrees. Bluefield WV reported eight straight days of record heat. (The National Weather Summary)
1989 - Evening thunderstorms in eastern New Mexico produced wind gusts to 66 mph at Clovis. Evening thunderstorms in West Texas produced baseball size hail around Hereford, Dimmitt, Ware and Dalhart. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

[...] Good morning, Nashville. We hear the folks in Franklin are running out of water. Turns out that while Georgia was down there distracting us with horrific tales of Bigfoot sightings, they were also making mad dashes across the border and carting our water out by the bucket. Okay, maybe not. Officials are actually saying that the current drought and leaks are to blame for their dried-up reservoir. Residents are starting to notice decreased water pressure and sinkholes as a result of the shortage, but the city plans to start pumping water from the neighboring Harpeth Valley district until rain comes. Which probably won’t be happening today. [...]

Looking at the NWS’s long term forcast and the long range models…I don’t really see Nashville or any other areas of TN having a good chance at rain. To make a long story short, when was the last time that Nashville hasn’t ever had rain in a month? Or has it ever happened? If the models keep Fay on a westward track…we could be seeing some beneficial rain come this way next week.
