At 9a, BNA reported a temperature of 88°. It could be worse, at the same time, Logan International Airport in Boston was reporting 93° as they make their way up to 102°.
Our brutal heat will continue today – as well as through the end of the week. We are still under a Heat Advisory until 7p Friday.
Heat index values will easily get into the 105-110° range this afternoon and evening.
This will be a common theme thru Friday each afternoon and evening.
Take precautions if you must be outdoors for prolonged periods of time. Stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and please don’t push yourself. Heat related illnesses can quickly set in.
Actual air temps will be in the upper 90s today and Wednesday. Wouldn’t be shocked if a station or two close-by hit 100°.
We still have our low chance of a quick afternoon shower or storm to cool things off. You know the drill by now, not everyone will see rain- but if you do, any storm could contain heavy rain, lightning and some gusty winds.
Rain chances will begin to increase starting Thursday and continue to rise as we head into the weekend. Chances will still be mostly confined to the afternoon/evening, but activity will likely be more widespread. Good news, still no severe weather in the forecast.
