.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Friday)
Issued at 1014 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025

Middle Tennessee is enjoying abundant sunshine today as high
pressure builds in from the northern Great Plains. Mostly sunny
skies and mild temperatures will last through tomorrow before our
next rain chances arrive just in time for the weekend.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Friday Night through next Thursday)
Issued at 1014 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025

Rain and storm chances will return to the forecast Friday night
and Saturday as a warm front develops to our south and a swath of
moisture rides down the northwest flow aloft. This will set in
motion a days-long stretch of active weather during which a series
of shortwaves will bring medium to high rain chances to Middle
Tennessee. At this time, the NBM suggests that Sunday and Monday
will be our two raniest days. (The 07Z solution gives a 44%
probability of measuring 1" or more of rain at BNA Sunday and
Sunday night, and a 51% probability Monday and Monday night.) It
appears that rain chances will drop off considerably after
Tuesday, with temperatures slowly warming up to seasonal normals
later in the week. At this time, the risk of severe storms through
day 8 is very low for our area.
