As they say, some of the prettiest weather occurs after a significant storm, and that we had.
Yesterday’s thunderstorms ended up not really being the main story. While there was wind damage associated with the storms themselves, we made it out without any tornadoes locally. Most of the wind damage of the day came after the storms departed and unfortunately, claimed a couple of lives here in Middle Tennessee. That’s news we certainly hated to hear.
He’s baaack. The morning weather balloon shows the D.A.M. (Dry Air Monster) hovering above. He’ll do two things today. 1) He’ll eat rain, keeping it light here at the ground level. 2) Evaporative cooling could cause some sleet pellets to fall briefly. I’ve had some at my office in the past hour. No worries though.
The wind advisory has now expired, the (very meh) severe threat has passed, and the sun is back. Looks like a nice afternoon. Winds peaked at 46 mph at BNA early this morning.
Our next weather system is a low pressure system we think will dive down toward the Gulf Coast and ride up the Atlantic coastal states this weekend into Monday.
The year was 1985. New cars would set you back about $9000 on average. If you think that number is low, check out the low temp. On January 19th, Nashville recorded 5.3 inches of snowfall, and by the 21st, with 5 inches still on the ground, Nashville’s temperature plunged to -17°, the coldest temperature since records started in 1873…a record that still stands today. Franklin got even colder, dropping to -21°.
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.
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/
