FINALLY! Relief is in sight. But first, we need to get through the early part of this work week.
Temperatures today will again reach the upper 80º range. Looking at a high temperature of 88º in Nashville, with dewpoints in the upper 60ºs through much of the day. Isolated showers and storms will remain possible. However, not everyone will see them.
Imagine a typical summer day. Isolated showers and storms, hot, humid, etc. Now put that in October and voilà, you have today!
The HRRR model shows isolated showers and storms will be present this afternoon. Keep an umbrella and/or a rain jacket handy just in case you are one of the few who get stuck under an isolated shower this afternoon.
The party is premature. Our transition to a fall airmass is currently underway *only at the surface" — aloft, summer/tropical/wet is hanging on. This jerk "overrunning" pattern means rain should redevelop Thu morning and may not end until tomorrow night. /ducks/ pic.twitter.com/NTNRaWUmzN
The Flash Flood Watch expired at 7 PM tonight.
Rain slowly moving east. "The Flash Flood Watch that's in effect will be allowed to expire at 7pm as the threat for flooding across much of the area decreases. However, rainfall will continue off and on throughout the day on Tuesday." —@NWSNashville
Rojoice! Today is the last day temperatures will hit 90º in the foreseeable future.
Clouds and moisture are arriving ahead of a cold front. That front will show up late tonight or in the wee hours of Saturday morning, slow down and maybe stall out, all setting off a wet, unstable weather weekend where rain chances are definitely there, but there is no real good idea when they’ll arrive, how long they’ll stay, and where exactly they will be.
Here we are, 3 days from fall and we are looking at a high of 94º in Nashville today. Yes, you read that correctly.
Dew points will be flirting with the oppressive range, as well, today and tomorrow. Overall, the temperature outside will feel like the mid to upper 90s in the afternoon hours. Keep a bottle of water close by if you are going to spend any extended period of time outside.
