The beautiful weather we've enjoyed this week is starting to lose ground as warmer, more humid Gulf air begins returning to Tennessee.

In today's blog:
☀️ Why this week's weather has felt so different
🌊 How the Gulf of Mexico influences our forecast
🌀 What the Bermuda High is doing right now
🌧️ When rain and storm chances return
🔥 Why next week will feel much more like summer

The pattern change won't happen overnight, but it's already underway.

🏊‍♂️☀️ Get the pool time and outdoor plans knocked out on Saturday if you can, because RAIN CHANCES ARE FIXIN’ TO SKYROCKET heading into next week!

For the rest of today, we’ll see a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the low to mid 80s. You can probably tell already, but humidity levels are slowly beginning to creep back into the region after our brief taste of more comfortable air earlier this week.

Saturday looks like our last dry day for probably the next week or so. Expect partly cloudy skies with afternoon highs once again reaching the middle 80s. If you’ve been waiting to mow the yard, fire up the grill, or spend some time by the pool, Saturday is shaping up to be your best opportunity.

By Sunday, rain chances begin increasing as Gulf moisture continues to return. We’ll start off with a modest 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms, but as you can see in the rain chances graphic below, those odds quickly climb to around 80% by Monday and remain elevated through much of next week.

Now, before anyone starts canceling plans, remember that it’s not going to rain all day, every day. This looks more like a typical summertime pattern with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Many locations will still see plenty of dry time mixed in between rounds of rain.

Over the next seven days, most of Southern Middle Tennessee can expect between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall, with the higher end of that range generally favoring western portions of the area closer to Interstate 65. While widespread severe weather is not anticipated at this time, some storms could produce gusty winds, very heavy downpours, and frequent lightning.

Enjoy the weekend sunshine while we’ve got it, because next week’s forecast is looking a whole lot wetter!

🎡🎶 **FIRST LOOK: BONNAROO 2026 FORECAST** 🎶🎡

We're officially close enough to start talking weather on The Farm!
The good news? At this point, there are no signs of any washouts, tropical systems, or prolonged periods of heavy rain. In fact, this forecast looks pretty typical for mid-June in Middle Tennessee.

Afternoon highs are expected to run in the mid to upper 80s each day, with overnight lows hovering around 70 degrees. That means warm afternoons, mild evenings, and those classic Bonnaroo mornings where you're slowly emerging from your tent wondering what day it is.

As for rain chances, scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible each day. That's pretty much the default setting for Tennessee in June. Most of these storms would be the typical summertime "pop-up" variety that develop during the heat of the afternoon and evening before fading away after sunset.

The important thing to remember is that a 30-40% rain chance does not mean it's going to rain all day. That's just how summer storms work around here.

Of course, if you've been to Bonnaroo before, you know weather is part of the experience. One minute you're enjoying sunshine and your favorite artist, and the next you're making a few thousand new friends while waiting out a summer soaker.

The biggest weather concern right now may actually be the heat and humidity. Temperatures in the upper 80s combined with typical Tennessee humidity can make it feel noticeably warmer during the afternoon hours, so plan accordingly and stay hydrated.

It's also important to note that we're still several days away from Bonnaroo. Forecast confidence on specific rain chances, storm timing, and temperatures will continue to improve as we get closer. The forecast will almost certainly evolve between now and opening day, so don't get too locked into the exact numbers just yet.

We'll continue fine-tuning the forecast over the coming days and will have much more detailed information as Bonnaroo gets closer!

⛈️ Why do summer storms seem so random?

One town gets soaked. Another stays completely dry. Sound familiar?

In today's blog, I break down the life cycle of the classic summertime "popup" thunderstorm and explain why these storms can be so difficult to forecast.

☀️ How storms form
🌧️ Why they grow so quickly
💨 How they eventually destroy themselves
📍 Why rain can fall in one neighborhood but miss another entirely

Plus, when shower and thunderstorm chances return to Southern Middle Tennessee.

@wurstc @Bonnaroo I’m going to the farm for the first time on Friday or Saturday. I haven’t decided yet. 😂

[Southern Tennessee Weather @STNWeather]

I’m almost positive my friends at Redd"s Heating & A/C left the A/C running outside all night. Because WOW… it felt amazing out there this morning!

Cool temperatures, low humidity, and a nice breeze made it feel a little less like June in Tennessee and a little more like a free trial of fall. Unfortunately, I know good things don’t last forever. Humidity will be making a comeback soon, but we’ll get to that in a second.

First, let’s talk about the latest Drought Monitor that was released this morning.
Some of the biggest improvements occurred across portions of Franklin, Grundy, and Coffee counties, where conditions were downgraded… or is that upgraded? Either way, it’s good news. Those areas have been moved into the “Abnormally Dry” category after spending recent weeks in a Moderate Drought. Not surprisingly, those were also some of the locations that picked up the most rainfall over the past week or two.

Now, I know what some of you are thinking… “How are we still dealing with drought conditions? It feels like it’s rained every other day lately!”
The answer is that drought monitoring looks at much more than just recent rainfall. Soil moisture, groundwater levels, streamflows, longer-term precipitation deficits, and several other factors all play a role. In other words, a few weeks of rain can certainly help, but it doesn’t always erase months of dryness overnight.

Looking ahead, humidity levels will gradually increase through the weekend, and so will our rain chances…
Beginning Sunday and continuing through much of next week, scattered showers and thunderstorms will become more common. This does NOT look like an all-day rain event every day. Think of a fairly typical summertime pattern with scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms popping up across the region.

We’ll also keep an eye on the potential for a few sneaky thunderstorm complexes (similar to what moved through Monday). Those types of systems can occasionally produce stronger winds and heavier rainfall, but there is absolutely nothing alarming showing up right now, especially this far in advance.

The latest rainfall forecast calls for generally one-half inch to around two inches of rain over the next seven days, although totals will vary greatly depending on where thunderstorms develop and track. One thing to keep in mind: that’s only the next seven days. It doesn’t account for rainfall beyond that period. Current long-range guidance still suggests additional rain opportunities, although the signal becomes a little less impressive after the middle of next week.

I’ll have your first-look Bonnaroo forecast posted later this evening!

It does look like we’ll be dealing with popup showers and storms, but nothing too out of the ordinary for this time of year.

🌞 TODAY IS ABOUT AS CLOSE TO A “CHAMBER OF COMMERCE” DAY AS WE GET AROUND HERE.

Highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s, low humidity, plenty of sunshine, and light winds? Count me in.
While I’m certainly enjoying the beautiful weather (which looks to continue through at least Saturday), we do need to start looking ahead to our next potential period of active weather beginning Sunday and possibly lingering through much of next week.

The latest outlook from the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) for June 9th through 13th places our area in the green shading, indicating an increased likelihood of above-average precipitation.

Now, I share these outlooks fairly often, but what do they actually mean? These outlooks are based on large-scale weather patterns and do not forecast specific rainfall amounts or guarantee rain on any particular day. Instead, they indicate whether the atmosphere is favoring wetter-than-normal, near-normal, or drier-than-normal conditions compared to what we typically see this time of year.

In this case, the green shading suggests the odds are tilted toward a wetter-than-average period across our region. That doesn’t necessarily mean constant rain. Sometimes it only takes a few rounds of thunderstorms or a couple of heavy rain events to push rainfall totals above normal for a given period.
What’s especially interesting is that the CPC continues to highlight our area for above-average precipitation beyond June 13th as well, suggesting this active pattern could persist deeper into the month.

I’m paying particularly close attention to this timeframe because it lines up with Bonnaroo. I know plenty of folks are understandably on edge after last year’s event dealt with periods of heavy rainfall and flooding concerns.
The good news is we’re still more than a week away, which is an eternity in weather forecasting terms. There is plenty of time for details to change. At the very least, however, the current pattern suggests we’ll likely be dealing with a few afternoon and evening showers or thunderstorms during that period. This is completely normal for summertime around here. Nothing out of the ordinary.

For now, enjoy the beautiful weather while we’ve got it. After all, low humidity and sunshine in June don’t stick around forever around here! 😎☀️

WINDY! Check out this video shared by D’Anna Hope Roberts from downtown Huntland as a severe thunderstorm moved through the region.

While not everyone across Southern Middle Tennessee experienced severe weather today, a few communities certainly picked up a good storm. Wind gusts in and around Huntland were estimated to be in the 40 to 60 MPH range as the strongest part of the line moved through. Scattered tree damage and power outages were reported.
