Below is an update from what we wrote this morning. It’s new information. But the same. Hot, Humid, Chance of Rain/Storms.

What We Know

Hot every day this week. Lower high temps mean more clouds and more humidity. That’s not comforting. read more

The forecast is essentially the same every day this week.

What We Know

Hot every day this week. At least 90°. More clouds, and the temp will get closer to 90°; fewer clouds and it’ll get closer to 95°. Today looks like a “fewer clouds” day. read more

Sooooo hot today through this weekend. Mid 90°s temps. Heat index 97° today, 98° Saturday, and up to 100° Sunday. This heat index rise is due to higher temps and slightly lower dewpoints, but let’s not pretend it’s “dry.” It’s not. Still humid. Still hot. read more

The forecast this morning was, um, well, yeah it wasn’t great. We thought the AM rain would sap all the water out of the atmosphere and prevent PM rain and storms from forming.

Wrong. (In our defense, we wrote it “should stymie any afternoon/evening development,” not that it “would,” but whatever, let’s call that what is was: read more

Slow moving rain is here with a few thunderstorms about to crawl through both our counties as I write this after 6 AM.

The Bad News: Raining and Storming this Morning

Lightning, obviously, is bad news. It’s cloud to ground and frequent in Ashland City and likely to move into Nashville and the most populated area in Middle Tennessee as you’re reading this. Probably many of you are reading this and it’s already happened, you slept through it, congrats! read more

Waking up to a dewpoint of 71° is what you sign up for in Atlanta or B’ham or Florida or Gulfport Mississippi (gooooo mighty Admirals!) but here in Nashville that’s not cool.  Upper 60°s dewpoints are fine, that was part of the contract we signed when we moved here, but I draw the line at 70°. I looked outside this morning and sweat formed on half my eyelashes and no one thought that was attractive. read more

As Alberto passes by tonight, we should see light rain and briefly strong winds, but the main tornado concern should end by 8 PM.

Here’s the last good look at Alberto before the sun goes down:

Tropical Depression Alberto is near Birmingham at 9 AM Tuesday (see below).

Alberto is moving toward Middle Tennessee.

Its center will pass west of us tonight.

Off & On Rain Today

Memorial Day isn’t Veterans Day. Memorial Day remembers those who died in defense of our country.

Alongside many of you I paused my Saturday on a warm day in 2012 to stand along Columbia Avenue in Franklin as the processional of Army Spc. Jason K. Edens passed by. I didn’t know him or his wife or his family and I still don’t know his family. But I decided as long as I have an audience – and I don’t hear from his family otherwise – that he would be the soldier we remember on Memorial Day. read more
