Good morning- we are still looking at a high of 89º for the day today. Nothing in the way of showers and storms.
High-pressure centered over Missouri is providing sinking air over the region today. Sinking air = suppression of showers and storms.
RELIEF!
Yesterday’s relatively cool weather will carry over to today! Only expecting a high of 83º! Woohoo!
That said, we have a chance of a passing shower during the daytime hours. No storms, just a splash, and dash here or there.
Humidity has dropped! We’ve endured Oppressive humidity for the past several weeks, but today, we are moving two places down the meter to the Sticky range. Even though still Sticky, it is all relative, the change is going to feel amazing.
A thunderstorm complex passed mostly south of us this morning. We have slight chance of showers and storms in the Nashville area this afternoon; however, the HRRR model shows a majority of the shower/storm activity will be south and east of the city. Said threat will taper off by the afternoon, so most (hopefully all) activities are looking good.
You guessed it: the typical summertime pattern today.
Pop-up showers and storms are the story of the day. A high temperature of 91º expected today in Nashville. Dew points in the low 70º range.
It is the Monday morning after a holiday week, so let’s keep this short and to the point. It is going to be hot, and it might rain.
Isolated showers and storms will be prevalent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. As typical for summer, we do not know exactly when, or exactly where.
Today’s lunchtime thunderstorm is prompting forecast changes. We thought tonight would be rainy/stormy, but it appears this big thunderstorm has taken all the fuel needed to maintain storms later today and tonight.
The United States of America is turning 242 years old today (no… not 2018 years old…)
[Editor’s Note: that’s The Intern’s joke. I would have led with: “We’re celebrating our 242nd birthday with a heat index of 242°.” You decide which joke is better.]
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory again today for areas west of Nashville. That means the heat index is supposed to be in the range of 103º to 105º. We shouldn’t get that hot here, but it’ll be close. Heat indices will be near 100º today in Nashville.
One week ago: “I sure wish it would rain. It never rains. We need rain really bad. My garden is dying. When is it going to rain?”
Today: “Enough rain already. Everything is flooded. Make it go away. Please stop. STAAAAAHHHHHP!”
