Light Rain Possible Tonight, We Dry Out for the Weekend

Wind gusts at Nashville International Airport peaked at 55 mph last night about 8:00 pm. Today, we retrieve trash cans, trampolines and drag tree branches out to the road for pickup (city folk) or to the brush pile (country folk). read more

Wind Advisory + Severe Weather Potential Tonight

We’re in store for an all around windy day. Wind advisory has been issued for our counties, expiring 1 AM tomorrow. Already seeing reports of 30+ mph gusts. Expect these winds to strengthen throughout the day ahead of this evening’s storms… could approach 50 mph gusts OUTSIDE of the storms! read more

Examining “it’s a three out of five weather day tomorrow oh noes,” what it means and what it does not mean, alt. title: respirating into a paper bag

  1. WINDY. A storm line will arrive Wednesday night, but before that, south winds will howl 20-30 MPH and could gust over 40 MPH. Then when the storm line comes through those winds may briefly intensify and blow from the west/southwest so maybe yeah, tie down your things unless you want them in your neighbor’s yard.
  2. RANT ABOUT /OH NOES IT’S GONNA BE A THREE OUT OF FIVE/. You may have seen/heard breathless exclamations “it’s a THREE out of FIVE” threat based on the below SPC map. It is factually true on the SPC scale this is a 3 of 5 but that is like saying “the Titans are playing an NFL team tomorrow” and getting scared for no good reason — the Titans could be playing any NFL team. For example, Jacksonville (they suck, why worry because /checks notes/ they’re the Jaguars). Or, the Bengals (ruh roh, they are now featuring a competent offensive line and they franchise tagged their interception-making safety). Or, the Colts (whose QB carousel landed on 37 year old Matt Ryan so if the Titans were ever down 28-3 are we worried yet). The point is “three out of five” is like saying “an NFL team is coming to Nissan,” you don’t know whether to be concerned until you hear/read more about the opponent. (Note I considered using a Broadway play analogy but I am uncultured and would have made a mistake ranking the plays, although for sure The Scarlet Pimpernel would have been bottom).

3. TIMING. A squall line is going to come speeding through here probably early evening Wednesday night. “7-8 PM” is NWS-Nashville’s thought which seems about right to me (HRRR model agrees, below) tho that ETA could wiggle earlier or later than that, so look for an update (changes?) tonight and tomorrow. read more

Severe Threat Wednesday

Today we’re going to warm up a bit from yesterday, with highs in the 70s.

Tomorrow, we are going to get WINDY. Gusts up to 45mph are possible all day, even before the thunderstorms move in. Today would be a great day to make sure any furniture, outdoor decorations, and garbage cans are all secured. read more

Windy Wednesday, Rainy & Stormy Wednesday Late Afternoon or Evening

Happy Monday! Today will feel a lot like yesterday day with temps only reaching the mid 50s. Then temperatures into mid week, hitting the mid 70s Tuesday and low 80s Wednesday.

Windy Wednesday

15-25 MPH sustained winds, with gusts 40 to 50 MPH hollering out of the south before the storms arrive later Wednesday. read more

The HRRR shows a tiny shower may effect us this evening, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Isolated Showers Later

Today will be a little bit chilly, and these temps are going to stick around through the weekend. Temps will be close to freezing overnight.

Later tonight, we might see some light showers in our area. Nothing widespread, and nothing severe, the clouds are just sprinkling a little. Timing is around 9 p.m., and it will clear out around midnight. read more

Dry, Cool(er) Air

A slight cooldown from yesterday to today. Likely won’t break into the 60s again until next week. The same goes for rain.

Most interesting thing about today is the wind… could see gusts up to 35 mph! That’s about as unsettled as our current weather pattern gets for awhile. read more

Little Rain Left, then All is Quiet

Rain is done for most of us. Maybe light showers here and there for some. Altogether inconsequential. Just your average spring day. Mild temps and breezy (gusts up to 40 mph possible). Hang on to your hats! read more
