Ned Saving The Day (so far!), But He Can’t Fix The Heat & Humidity

The morning weather balloon showed our atmosphere r-e-a-d-y to storm but our hero Ned is there, capping us off, preventing it all from happening. Hold on, Ned!

Models think it won’t storm today. HRRR shows a storm complex running north of us right along the Ohio River today: read more

“Won’t-won’t Jack’s father be joining us?”

Models disagree about today. It’s causing forecast headaches.

The HRRR model has storms missing you today and tonight.

The Euro has storms coming in here late afternoon/early tonight.

Which is “right?” Great question! Who knows? When “reliable” tools contradict the lesson isn’t “pick one,” it’s “we don’t really know.” read more

“Wednesday’s a bit of odd bird.” -@NWSNashville

Hot with low humidity (under 55°!) today. Fantastic!

Let’s talk Wednesday.

Dewpoint up to the mid 60°s by late Weds afternoon and staying there through Thursday. #schweddy

More moisture and yeah, we’ll be set up for storms. But will they actually happen, maybe/probably not. read more

All this time, the river flowed endlessly to the sea

Nothing happening until maybe Wednesday when the dewpoint will jump above 60° . . .

Y’all been tweeting us about a Sting concert Weds night.

NAM3 has rain/storms around Weds and real talk immabit nervous for y’all, but this model at this range isn’t the best: read more

Looks OK Today, Maybe Some Rain or Storms Tonight.

What: weakening storms, probs just rain. When: early evening/before midnight. Where: coming from the west and weakening along the way. Hazards: if it’s storm and not rain then lightning, low probability straight line winds, hail; no tornado concern. Confidence level: I’m always nervous on these days saying it won’t rain this afternoon but here we are. Why: this is not a theology blog. Discussion: keep reading. read more

It was summer the last time it’s been as humid as it’s going to be later today and Wednesday.

Mow Today, Rest of the Week Cheeks.

  • It’s getting hot. Wed – Thu may approach record daily high temps for May 11 and 12. Current forecast a few degrees below the records. Mow today, stay cool tomorrow.
  • Humidity mid/upper 50°s except for Tuesday afternoon/evening when it gets to Sticky territory.
  • Yesterday I wrote no rain until maybe Sat but now a few models show isolated showers Weds. NWS not yet ready to say yeah it may rain Weds. They’re waiting to see if more data trends that way.
  • Still think next best rain chance maybe random pop ups Saturday afternoon, more likely Sunday with a weaksauce cold front passing thru. Model data reliability isn’t great rn, too low res for “will my event be impacted” questions which we can answer if you would like guesses and/or lies.
