We awake in the early morning to find rain still lingering around middle Tennessee. This rain is heading east and, like yesterday, there should be a break in the rainfall until later today. When the rain returns is a matter of little agreement amoung the forecast models- safe to say that sometime this afternoon rain and storms return to our area with the activity picking up in intensity and coverage tonight. There should be enough sun and dry weather to allow the temperatures to warm to the low-to-mid 80’s. Very heavy rain is possible tonight. Yesterday we had several Flash Flood Warnings issued for counties (Perry, Maury to name two) so wet soils and full creeks stand by for more rain. Flash Flood Watches are in effect for our southern counties for tonight in anticipation of the event. The heavy rain will likely be tonight, perhaps in the overnight into Friday morning before clearing. Right now Friday afternoon and Saturday looking mostly dry though on Friday some rain might still be on the plateau in the afternoon. Another rain event in store for us for Sunday. Below Predictor shows the rain not around by noon but a deluge in progress by tonight.
