→ Humidity will get worse each day. It’ll be nice today. But big dewpoint jump Sunday. Then we straight up heatswamp Monday through at least Thursday.

→ Temps will follow the humidity rise.

→ CMA Fest Sunday will scorch. Shaded temps up to 92° plus dewpoints rising up thru the 60°s. This’ll drive the heat index close to 98°. That’s the forecast for the shade and does not account for the heat radiating off crowds. Music goers should mix in more water today to prep for tomorrow. Locals are not acclimated for this. read more

THE GOOD NEWS

→ Humidity way down for CMA Fest.

→ Temps cooler than most CMA Fest weekends, the only gripe is Sunday:

→ Only rain in the forecast is maybe Friday with a few light showers in the morning and afternoon possible, HRRR model below: read more

Below normal temps and humidity this weekend. Today will be the nicer of the two days.

I still doubt it’ll rain tomorrow afternoon. HRRR shows very little activity. What little is has is meh. But, we can’t totally rule it out. This is the 12z HRRR model: read more

Temps drop today and rise only a bit tomorrow. Both below seasonal norms. No rain either day. Comfortable humidity.

→Sunday things start unsettling. Dewpoints and temps start to rise at the surface while winds aloft shift and allow subtle little disturbances to pass overhead. This combo creates random rain and thunderstorm chances for mid-late afternoon through early evening. Rain at your location Sunday is unlikely but cannot be ruled out. read more

Lightningstorms crossed Davidson & Williamson Co last night (morning?, it was 3 AM to 430 AM). A Dense Dog Advisory was issued (this is a running joke from a tweet typo on 3/30/13, click here for context). Storms didn’t water all yards. They were no big deal other than dogs and startled kids crowding beds (if you were chosen by Thor, LMK). read more

No sunblocking local clouds anywhere on satellite as I write this.

Dewpoints will top off in the low 60°s this week until a cold front comes through sometime Thursday and cuts it into the upper 50°s by Friday. read more

Clouds lingering this morning will determine the high temp.

NWS-Nashville thinks they’ll hang around long enough to keep the high temp at 78°. We’re even getting sprinkles out of them. They should dissipate this afternoon. If clouds mix out sooner than that we should have no trouble getting into the 80°s. read more

A few light showers may streak through today, no big deal.

Today and Saturday we get relatively cool temps, low humidity. Then Sunday the oven is turned on and we start to bake.

Memorial Day weekend pretty much ideal. No rain in the forecast anywhere. Dewpoints at or under 60°. read more
