Discussion:
A stationary front is positioned just south of Nashville. This front will not move through the area for several days. This will allow for mid to late afternoon convective showers and thunderstorms to appear. The thunderstorms that do develop will occur diurnally and begin to die down after sunset. Temperatures are expected to be higher than normal, reaching into the upper 80s for the next several days. The forecast for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are all very similar with above average high temperatures which leads to above average evening temperatures as well. Each day has between 30-40% chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Exact amounts and location of precipitation is hard to forecast due to the uncertainty of the moisture and convection in the area.
