Temperatures Slowly Climbing Up, Rain Chances Stay Low

BNA reached 89° today – exactly on average for August 5th.

Temperatures won’t stray too far away from that number this week, but they’ll slowlyyy climb up into the low 90s.

Dewpoints will also climb up a tad throughout the week, reaching the upper 60s (compared to the low 60s we had today). All of these things will cause heat index values to creep up near 100° by this weekend. Thankfully, nothing like we saw last week – but hot regardless.


However, our rain chances will stay fairly steady in the 15-30% range throughout the rest of the week. Chances will mostly be during the afternoon and evening hours. No severe concerns, but there’s a chance you see a quick downpour with a rumble of thunder, perhaps some gusty winds.

For what it’s worth, the HRRR thinks we see much coverage on Wednesday compared to what we’ve seen today and Monday – which has been pretty much nothing.

It’s Wattery style, so impossible to try and nail down exactly when and where. Activity should decrease towards sunset, so good news for any WillCo. fair goers.
