We're continuing to monitor a potentially developing situation for Friday night and Saturday which may result in some severe weather for Middle Tennessee.

Actually it's NICE to see some rain - just got back after a week in FL where the drought conditions continue to worsen. On top of that it's tree pollen season and the air is thick with allergens. Spent a lot of my time down there coughing and wheezing.

I agree...the rain 'washes' out the pollen and grime...glad you are back safe...
