Today will feature more showers and thunderstorms across Middle Tennessee, with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s. Some locations could see triple digit heat indices, so remember to be safe if working outdoors and drink plenty of water.
There are daily chances for scattered showers/storms, mainly each afternoon through early evening. The severe weather threat this week remains very low; the strongest storms will produce gusty winds, frequent lightning and heavy downpours. Flash flooding from heavy rain is possible with any slow-moving storms. Hot and humid conditions may lead to elevated levels of heat risk. Afternoon heat index values will reach the low 100s in many areas (except the Cumberland Plateau), and may even approach 105 degrees in some areas.
