Waves Of Rain Continue

Forecast:
Tonight: Mo. Cloudy, 50% Shower & Storm Ch. |Low: 67| S 5-10
Tomorrow: Sun/Clouds Mix, 50% Shower & Storm Ch. |High: 87|SW-5

In Depth:
A disturbance moving across the region brought rain and
a few thunderstorms this morning and early afternoon. While
there is a chance of rain all day, the rain was expected to be more
widespread for the morning and early afternoon and more hit
and miss later today.

With lower rain chances for early tonight, that's some potential
good news for your Friday night plans including the Middle Tennessee
Strawberry Festival in Portland where the Strawberry Jam Concert and
Fireworks are scheduled for tonight ahead of the Grand Parade tomorrow.

High pressure is expected to build in for the weekend, and that means
it'll be warm and humid with highs in the mid to upper 80s with a
heat index around 90 degrees. There will be plenty of dry times both
Saturday and Sunday, but with more moisture in the air, this will help
give us the chance for scattered showers & storms through the weekend.
Neither day will be a wash out, but when it rains there could be some
locally heavy downpours.
