This pic is from The Gulch Cam as it basks in the sunshine and 60° temps as of 1:00 pm. 61° is our forecast high for today, so we’ll see if we nudge a degree or two above that. I’m sure we won’t mind if we do. If you like sunshine, enjoy today. Here’s why:
David, Will and I (this is Andrew) are good for each other. We’re the kind of friends that sit around and text each other at night about weather data. At 7:39 pm, David said “Feels like it’s gonna fog.” We continued by exchanging weather data numbers that would appear, to some, to be some kind of lock combination. It was a blast.
Few Thanksgivings in recent memory have been as nice weather-wise as yesterday. With a high of 61°, it was perfect for David’s Turkey Bowl, which he described yesterday.
So, every year I aim to leave 30% of the plate visible once I load it up with food. Each year I fail miserably. The problem is this: Once 70% of the plate is full, there’s still 30% of the buffet remaining left to visit. It’s simple math. But, that was yesterday. This is today.
At the 4:00 pm observation at BNA this afternoon, the temp was 94° with a dewpoint of 62°. It’s hot! Temps should cool to 72° tonight with rain chances very low, although a few spotty showers aren’t out of the question.
Ok. Let’s get above freezing today. What do you say?
Our low of 16° this morning should warm to 34° at BNA today, breaking our streak of temps below freezing…but only for a few hours. Remember, our temp has been below 32° since Saturday evening. But, I don’t think I have to tell you that.
The weekend is here! During this past work week, we talked about occasional storm chances. Those storms happened, but most of them didn’t form right on top of us. Many places right around us saw substantial rainfall and even flooding, but some of us in Davidson & Williamson Counties are actually getting pretty dry. Here’s where a tenth of an inch of rain or more has fallen over the past few days.
You probably don’t know him. Mr. Boyd has worked over 50 years in public service to this community as a forecaster at the NWS office in Nashville. He didn’t want a big deal made of his retirement, so if I can presume to speak for Nashville and all of Middle Tennessee, I’ll leave this here simply with a sincere “thank you.”

Hope you’re having a great weekend! Get out and enjoy this weather. Rain chances go up as time goes along this weekend.
This Afternoon: Mostly Cloudy, 20% Chance of Showers, High: 71

So we had some flurries this morning over both counties. Your reports were great! Kept Will busy at the #tspotter desk, but he’s a pro. Ain’t no thang.
HRRR keeps us dry and flurry free tonight. (Pink lines are freezing lines).
