Storm Threat South Through East This Afternoon; Then A Little Relief From Heat & HUmidity
Below: Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook
Although the Severe Thunderstorm Watch only includes Lincoln, Moore, and Franklin counties in Middle Tennessee, there is a a threat of storms that could be on the strong side farther north and west this afternoon. However, it appears that the storms will stay south and east of Nashville today.
As we head into the evening hours, humidity will be dropping and temps will be much more pleasant than we have seen lately. By daybreak Monday, we expect temps to drop to the low to mid 60s with much lower humidity. Monday will bring highs only in the upper 80s.
