Soaking Midweek Rains Follow Mild Conditions Across Tennessee

Dry and mild weather continues through Tuesday across Tennessee, with the warmest temperatures of the week reaching the mid to upper 70s. Breezy winds with gusts up to 20 to 30 mph develop Tuesday afternoon ahead of approaching rain.

Precipitation ahead of a cold front starts moving into the western part of the state after 6 PM on Tuesday and spreads east during the evening. This begins the soaking rainfall expected midweek.

A cold front brings a high chance for rain Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, with showers lingering over eastern areas into the early evening. Rain totals generally range from 1 to 2 inches, and some localized amounts up to 3 inches are possible from Clarksville southwest toward Lawrenceburg. This soaking rain could bring flooding concerns in spots that see the heavier totals.

After the rain moves through, the weather stays quiet for the rest of the week, with high temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s.

Cooler air arrives over the weekend and drops highs into the lower 60s. Overnight lows fall into the 30s, with frost likely starting Saturday night and lows below 32 degrees looking likely for the Plateau.
