Heat will start to back off Wednesday as chances for scattered showers and storms increase. Some storms will produce local heavy rainfall, but not everybody will see rain. Highs will be in the low to mid 90s, except 80s Plateau.
Relief from the heat is on the way along with chances for scattered storms. Late week will bring temperatures dropping down near normal levels with a chance for storms mainly southeast of Nashville. Another cold front will bring cooler than normal temperatures early next week!

house in Portland, and sends rocks, weighing as much as 50 pounds, 50
