As predicted, this afternoon’s thundershowers have stayed down in the southern part of Middle Tennessee.

Watch out for lightning down in the southern counties of Middle Tennessee.  Some of the storms will also contain some hail and gusty wind, although there have been no warnings so far this afternoon.

Rain has already overspread much of the mid-state this morning. The wet weather has picked up in Nashville and along the I-65 corridor. Expect lots of rain if you’re out and about before lunchtime. Just noticed a lightning strike down near the Alabama state line (and another in southern Bedford County) where the showers are heaviest. It’s been three weeks since our last soaking rain in Nashville - at least temperatures are “comfortable” this morning. It’s not going to stay that way for long - wind chills will be down in the teens and single digits this time tomorrow!
