Looking Pretty Good Actually

Lightningstorms crossed Davidson & Williamson Co last night (morning?, it was 3 AM to 430 AM).

Free Sunshine Today, Use As Directed

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

One More NotHot Day

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

Next Rain/Storm Event Wednesday

Next rain and/or storm event is Wednesday – Thursday.

Timing. A few models put in rain/storms here Weds morning. But I think the most likely ETA for rain is Weds afternoon and night. ETD Thursday after lunch or so, tho we may see drizzlers linger into Thu late afternoon/evening. read more
