Hot For A Little Longer, Stormy Few Days Ahead

Unsettled Next Few Days

Today is when we start to see the chances for rain and storms creep up. Look for pop-up, afternoon thunderstorms. Some could produce heavy rainfall. However, not all of us get a lawn watering. Latest HRRR Model for Today

Continued Storm Chances This Weekend

Let’s see what this morning’s run of the GFS has to show for more storms into the weekend: NWS Nashville is in close agreement with this scenario, which means afternoon thunderstorms are possible every day through Saturday. By Sunday, an approaching cold front will significantly increase rain and storm opportunities. Most of us could see 0.5″ of total rain, with higher amounts around 1.25″+ definitely possible. What about severe weather? A strong storm or two over the course of the next several days isn’t out of the realm of possibility. Hail and gusty winds will be the main threats, but definitely nothing like the Central Plains is seeing today (potential severe weather outbreak). The good news for Sunday and beyond…temperatures in the afternoon next week will sink back into the 70s! This is more seasonable and provides us some relief, as we aren’t even into summer quite yet.

Watching For Late Week Heat Relief (Rain/Storms)

Expect much of the same hot conditions for the next couple of days, with the exception of Thursday and beyond, when temperatures could drop into the 80s due to cloud cover. We will start to feel the effects of additional moisture as dew points rise into the 60s. A chance for a spot shower or storm will start Thursday and continue into Saturday. read more

Showers Today, Quiet and Warm Weather Returning

Relatively Quiet Next Few Days

Rain chances will be low as we get “omega blocked”, or caught between two low pressure systems — one west and one to the east.

Temperatures will moderate through the 70s and 80s, making for a comfortable Sunday and early start to the week. Storm chances reenter the picture by Thursday, and especially Friday as disturbances break down our nice weather. read more

Rain Resumes Wed.-Sat.

Rain Returns Tomorrow, Continues Intermittently Through Saturday

GFS Loop 7PM Wednesday Through Saturday Morning

A fairly strong low pressure system will bring us the chance for showers and a couple thunderstorms starting tomorrow after sunset and continuing on-and-off through early Saturday. The best rain chances are Wednesday night through Friday around noon, while we are in close proximity to the center of low pressure. No severe weather is anticipated, as instability or “CAPE”, is expected to be low. read more
