The rain got as close as Franklin and Smyrna this morning on the fringes of Ida’s moisture. That was great for our live broadcasts of News 2 This Morning in downtown Nashville (in conjunction with CMA and Good Morning America). Meanwhile, it is quite wet in our southern and eastern counties. The back edge of the rain will slowly ease eastward, but will take its time to exit the eastern areas of Middle Tennessee.
Meanwhile, there is a back edge of the cloud line in Tennessee that is also moving slowly eastward as now Tropical Depression “Ida” drifts to the east near Pensacola, FL. Our northwestern areas, like Clarksville, are in the sunshine. Sunset is early now (4:42pm), so it will be touch and go to get some sunshine in Nashville before dark, but we may get lucky late this afternoon. Our west and northwest counties will enjoy the afternoon sun for sure.
