Good morning, weather peeps. We actually have some rain and storm chances in the forecast today. So some of us will enjoy some relief from this stretch of dry days, while the rest of us will add another dry day to the tally. A frontal boundary will push southward into Middle Tennessee during the afternoon and stall out. This will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly along and north of I-40. There is a low chance for gusty winds with any stronger storms, along with heavy rainfall. (You know how this works by now.) As for when we can expect our first blast of autumn weather, well, we've got the spyglasses out and we're searching long and hard, but there's no autumn weather on the horizon just yet. So we will have to wait a while longer.

You know it's hot, yes, but did you know we ALSO have a severe weather risk tomorrow afternoon/evening? Stay hydrated and weather aware this Labor Day Weekend!

09/01/2026

A HEAT ADVISORY has been issued for all of Middle Tennessee from Wednesday morning through Friday night. Dangerous heat indices up to 109 degrees are expected. Take precautions to protect yourself from the heat if you work or have any plans outside!
