Frost Advisory Tonight, Unsettled Pattern Begins Sunday.

Posted on by Elan

Good idea to cover up plants tonight, a Frost Advisory will be in effect from 4am thru 9am Saturday morning.

Lows are expected to get down into the low 30s, thankfully temps will quickly recover Saturday afternoon and make it into the low 60s.

High temps in the 70s and rain chances will accompany us the rest of the week.

Sunday evening rain/storm chances will come around, a few might be strong.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked our counties with a 5% of severe weather within 25 miles on Sunday. Right now, it looks like a low-end chance of some damaging straight-line winds and hail. Ingredients do not look support of any tornadoes. A lot of uncertainty with this, we’ll keep an eye on it.

Rain/storm chances stick around thru at least Thursday, but no other severe weather chances are in the forecast right now. Specific ETAs are hard to nail down right now due to the scattered nature of the rain/storms.

2-3″ of rain are expected throughout the week but should be spread out enough so we don’t have any flood worries.

Eclipse Update

Key Messages for the April 8th Total Solar Eclipse, updated April 5th. The image has a map of forecast cloud cover on Monday afternoon and descriptive text. The text reads, "The best chances for clear viewing are in northern New England and from southern Missouri to central Indiana. However, there is still uncertainty, so continue to check for forecast updates. Clouds may impede viewing from Texas into Arkansas, and possibly in Ohio, northwest Pennsylvania, and western New York. There will be a 20-30% chance of rain showers during totality in Texas, Oklahoma, southern Arkansas, Ohio, northwest Pennsylvania, and western New York. There will be a 60-90% chance of Thunderstorms Monday evening and Tuesday in the South-Central U.S. Severe weather and flash flooding will be possible, which could lead to hazardous travel after the eclipse."

Current cloud coverage forecast holding steady for now, still looks like Missouri and Illinois are the closest sweet spot for totality. Here in Middle TN, it looks like we should have enough breaks in the clouds to see the partial eclipse. Still a lot of uncertainty though. Forecasting is hard.
