Today – Thunderstorms Possible Very Late – High 75 

The airport picked up almost a half inch of rain today. Rain and cloud cover conspired to keep us cool, but it was not cool enough to break the record for lowest high temperature: 68 set back in 1970. read more

Today – Scattered Thunderstorms – High 88 

Today we were set up for widespread afternoon pop up thunderstorms, and that’s what happened.

Afternoon showers should diminish after sunset, only to be followed by another complex of storms to move in from the west.  In-storm updates can be found on Twitter @NashSevereWx. read more

Tonight

We should be rain-free for most of the day. Rain and a few thunderstorms are forming along the Ohio River. HRRR at 8 p.m. tonight:

Rest of Today – Isolated Thunderstorms – High 92

This afternoon’s thunderstorm helped cool us off. We only made it to 92, instead of the forecast 95, but the heat index still hit 100 again today. read more

Rest of Today – Isolated Showers Possible – High 95

Can you say HOT? That is all it’s been today. The heat index reached 101 this afternoon. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), it does not look likely any shower or thunderstorms will be cooling us off this afternoon. Most of the thunderstorm activity is far off to our east. read more

Rest of Tuesday – Isolated Showers Possible – High 92

Widely scattered thunderstorms are popping up, mostly to our south and east. A few may fly by today. Lightning is the main concern, although we can’t rule out an unusually strong cell or two. read more

Rest of Today – Isolated Showers Possible – High 90

There is a very small chance of an isolated shower this afternoon through sundown. Don’t expect anything. THe HRRR model scatters showers just about everywhere except here. This is Monday 4 PM: read more
