One More Night of Patchy Frost (For Now), Rainless Streak Continues to Grow
Thursday, October 17, 2024 · Elan
If you covered any plants last night, would be a safe call to leave them covered for tonight. The official low at BNA is 39°, but your backyard may get down into the mid 30s.
High temperatures return to the 70s starting tomorrow and stick around for the next 7 days, some days even pushing 80°.
Today is the 18th straight day without rain in Nashville, and for many other locations in Middle Tennessee, as well. It's the longest stretch of rain-free days since last October, when we went 24 days without. (The record is 36 straight days without rain back in Sep/Oct of 1923.)

They say 3 is a streak, and we are way past that. With no rain chances in at least the next 7 days, we’ll likely get close to matching, if not surpassing our 24-day rainless streak from last October.
18 consecutive days without rain has brought back Moderate Drought conditions for the majority of Will. Co., with everyone else in the Abnormally Dry category.
