Wx Summary
Rain chances are a bit lower today, thanks to a weak frontal boundary that slipped south of us yesterday. The main frontal boundary has also shifted back north a bit. Both of those features will lead to lower rain chances today. By Thursday, the main frontal boundary sags back toward Tennessee and that will likely kick off numerous showers and storms. Those will be with us through Friday. Rain chances should lower a bit again by Saturday, before ticking back up again on Sunday. Any storm that forms this week will have frequent lightning, heavy rainfall, and gusty winds.
