Rain Chances Ahead

**Thursday's Notes**
Expect another beautiful day across Middle Tennessee as highs will be in the upper 70's across much of the Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau. Nashville areas will be slightly warmer. Rain is in the forecast tonight through Sunday. It shouldn't be a wash-out every single day, but I would definitely stay tuned to local TV and this website for the latest updates. Lets hope July 4th (Independence Day) is dry, at least during the evening hours for firework shows. The awesome photo at the right is courtesy of: Declan McCullagh Photography
