We’ve had a beautiful day with plenty of sun so far today, but clouds will begin to push their way into Middle Tennessee, especially into the evening hours as a weak front approaches. Along with this front comes not only some rain, but also gusty winds for us into the afternoon.
A few clouds and a stiff north wind will keep our high temperature at 50° for the high. Even if the sun is shining today, don’t be fooled, it’s still chilly. The wind won’t be giving us much of a break either, gusting up to 20 mph throughout the day. A slight chance of one or two light showers are possible, but the HRRR thinks we’ll steer clear of those:
Clouds today could limit our sunshine, but you’ll still get your fair share of it this afternoon. 84° for the high. That’s nearly 20 degrees above average for us for this time of year.
Humidity is way up, dewpoints in the low 60s. For the first time this year we have to drag out the dewpoint/humidity translator:
Our first round of storms has already pushed off to the Northeast, but what we’re really going to watch is the greater threat with the second round of storms ahead of a cold front moving through this afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center is currently monitoring these storms moving in from the West. We are listed in a mesoscale discussion. You can find it here….
Rain this morning moved out. Dry the rest of the day, clouds maybe breaking up a bit and providing a few rays of sunshine this afternoon. Temps a little below average, afternoon high 60°.
Threats: The primary threat will be damaging winds and large hail. Tornadoesare less likely than damaging winds or hail, but still possible. Below, NWS-Nashville breaks down threats on a 0-5 threat scale:
Scattered showers and storms this morning will lead into more widespread storms this afternoon, especially along/East of I-65. Here’s the HRRR:
No severe weather is expected, but we still could see a few stronger storms this afternoon that bring heavy downpours and strong wind gusts of 40-50 mph. These showers and storms unfortunately will hang around Middle Tennessee into the evening hours.
