...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 843 PM CDT Sat May 4 2024

Good evening out there, Middle Tennesseans. Radar is finally 
clear at update time and flooding concerns have come to an end for
now. It still feels "heavy" out there; relative humidity is near 
or at 100% for everyone. With that, there could be some areas of 
patchy dense fog overnight, more for our western and southwestern 
counties where more clearing is expected. Overnight lows will 
stay in the 60s tonight. A passing shower is possible, but it 
should be mostly dry for the remainder of tonight. More showers
and thunderstorms are on the way tomorrow evening.
