Happy Friday Afternoon!
We have a decent uneventful start to the weekend ahead, but rain will start to creep in late Saturday night and keep things wet into Sunday.
HRRR (above) from 11pm Saturday through noon Sunday doesn’t show any particularly heavy rain, but enough to make the day pretty
It’ll be windy today, but the “storms” from last night are long gone. Should be a nice day.
Temps will hover right around 50° for highs through early next week.
Sunday looks like a wet day, but we’re not expecting any severe weather. We’ll nail down timing as we get a little closer.
Note: Today is the first Saturday of the month, so you can expect the usual tornado siren tests in Metro at noon and Williamson County at 1:00 pm. With today’s rain, they may opt not to test, but if they do, that’s what’s up.
We have two opportunities for rain in this forecast. One begins early tomorrow morning and ends sometime Sunday. The other comes late next week, say Thursday.
Early tomorrow morning, showers should be approaching us. Initially, the rain will be light and scattered. The rain will likely fill in at various times and drop periods of moderate rain. It’s hard at this juncture to pin down exactly when the more solid rounds of rain will come through. If you have outdoor plans, just keep an eye on radar. https://nashvillesevereweather.com/radar/
It’s a bit of a relief to not have much to write about. No severe weather with this forecast and no flood threat. Just….the usual.
A window for rain chances opens Friday night and closes Sunday morning. Rain chances are fairly low each day, and total rainfall amounts through Sunday night are expected to be wellll below half an inch, maybe not even a quarter inch, according to the blend of models. This could change. But, this is what we’re aiming for as of today.
The Main Thing: The main thing we’re watching in this forecast is the potential for strong storms overnight Monday night into Tuesday morning. More below.
Rain moves back in during the day today. HRRR thinks it’ll be light/scattered, then pick up overnight tonight. Loop through 1 am.
It was a storm we’ll tell our grandkids about one day. With a gust of wind we plummeted into a nasty season of spending 88 hours below freezing, some of those below zero, with punishing wind chills. Rolling blackouts, broken pipes and hazardous travel were part of the narrative for many of us this Christmas. But, better days are here.
No surprise here, but we’ve improved quite a bit in the drought department, and will likely improve even more over the coming weeks. We’re now only Abnormally Dry. We’re almost there. Let’s get out of this thing.
Was flipping through some TV Channels last night and ran across Bree Smith saying that Thursday (today) is the only day in the 7 day forecast that is free of rain chances. She’s exactly right. A rainy pattern is a’comin. But, details are pretty sketchy.
At the mere mention of a football game in a tweet yesterday, two guys in our timeline have been going at it with each other in the replies about why their team is better. But, I’m just here to tell you if it’ll rain or not.
