**WHAT ELSE WOULD BE IN THE FORECAST**
Rain continues to be in our forecast today as another low tracks northward through Tennessee. There is an outside chance for a thunderstorm or two. Highs will be in the middle 70's for this Sunday.

**TITANS FORECAST**
If you're interested, here is the Tennessee Titans weather forecast, as well as a forecast for every team in the NFL for today.

**THE WEEK AHEAD**
The week ahead forecast has, YOU GUESSED IT, rain in it every single day. At one-time last week, I mentioned a BIG COOL DOWN coming, but it is, for now, not in the plans. Fall will arrive, but the temperatures will be a bit warm for this time of year.

*Latest Local Forecast*

Weather History for This Date
