Let’s start with the good news. The latest US Drought Monitor map (released today) has removed the area of severe drought from both counties. We got downgraded to moderate drought. Hopefully soil moisture and drought impacts can improve greatly over the winter. We’re not there yet, but heading in the right direction.

Cold and Dry Through the Weekend
Hey Alaska. Come get your weather.
- The average high for Nashville today is 60°. If only.
- Rain has moved out (save for a few sprinkles or some drizzle).
- There’s really only one story this week, and that is the continuing cold weather, especially late week. Thursday through Sunday temps probably won’t get above 45°, again, roughly 20° below normal.
- We could get a passing flurry Wednesday night, according to the HRRR. No big deal. Loop 4 pm through 1 am Wednesday/Thursday.

Rain Tonight; Cold Weather Continues
Rain, Then Brrrr
The forecast has remained pretty consistent over the last few days. The two stories from the last couple of days remain the two stories for today.
Rain Tonight Into Tomorrow Morning
We’ll be affected by two systems. The remnants of Nicole from our east. A strong cold front from our west. As these two systems interact, we expect rain to begin overnight and last until tomorrow afternoon. HRRR loop 4:00 pm today – 7:00 pm Friday.
Rain Thursday Night Into Friday; Major Cooldown
Two stories for today. First, Nicole will be making landfall on the east coast of Florida in the next 24 hours. If you have interests in Florida and need more info on impacts there, reference the National Hurricane Center.
Hang On While I Move Inside
Who Ordered The Extra Sprinkles
Dry Air Monster Returns; Rain Chances Return for the Weekend
So, the sprinkles. A couple of models had indicated that we could get some rain today, but most said nope. The forecast leaned dry. For the most part the showers that have developed have been mere sprinkles. Reason? Our friend (or foe) the Dry Air Monster. He’s not very strong today, but he’s there, visible on the morning weather balloon…eating rain as it falls through the air.
Temps Increasing; Low Rain Chances for the Weekend
71° today, steadily increasing to near 80° this weekend. Average for this time of year is around 67°
Weekend Rain
Rain chances come back late Saturday into Sunday. Latest Euro model thinks we’ll see a half inch or less. Timing is ?? But will become more clear as we get closer. Severe weather and/or flash flooding is not expected.
