The Slow Return of Summer...Then Another Great Weekend?

Another Glorious Sunday

Breezy, low/no humidity, high 87°, sunny. Winds should top out by mid afternoon around 10 MPH. Probably not enough to support a kite.

Little Hotter, Little More Humid Monday

But first, another cool morning! 63°!!!!

Totally agree.

High 89°.

Dewpoints will climb out of the 50°s and settle into the low 60°s.

And a Little Hotter & More Humid Tuesday

Another kinda-cool morning, 66°, then up to 90° by mid-afternoon.

Rising humidity, with dewpoints approaching 65°.

No rain is expected through Tuesday.

Pattern Change Begins Wednesday

Goodbye cool mornings.

The dewpoint will creep into the upper 60°s (“uncomfortable” range), and with that comes maybe an afternoon/early evening pop-up shower or storm. Wednesday is outside the range of the short-range models, leaving us with little/no additional information about whether it will rain on us (Davidson and/or Williamson Counties) or other parts of Middle Tennessee. No severe weather is expected.

Shortwave Thursday Bringing Rain Chances

What’s a shortwave?

Yes, that. Also this:

Also known as Shortwave Trough; a disturbance in the mid or upper part of the atmosphere which induces upward motion ahead of it. If other conditions are favorable, the upward motion can contribute to thunderstorm development ahead of a shortwave. read more

Still Hot & Humid; Early Evening Storms Possible

Heat Advisory Again Today

It’s already really, really muggy outside. No surprise there. Dewpoints in the low 70°s will make being outside uncomfortable.

The heat index will run between 100° and 106° this afternoon; however, temps aren’t expected to get to 98° like they did a Friday and Saturday. Look for 96° today. (“Oh, is that all? Only 96°?) It’s not really going to feel cooler than Friday or Saturday. read more

Increasing Heat & Humidity Through the Week

91° Monday, 92° Tuesday, 94° Wednesday, 95° Thursday, and please be kidding no we are not kidding 96° Friday.

These are in the shade temps. So if you’re in the sun, obviously, it’s going to be hotter than that. read more

Not So Bad Today. Then Comes the Death Ridge

90° today, 91° Monday, 92° Tuesday, 94° Wednesday, 95° Thursday, and please make it stop 96° Friday.

Humidity will be “Uncomfortable” today through Thursday.

By Friday and Saturday, humidity will be “oppressive.” read more

Today’s Been Great! This Week, Ummm, Not Great, Bob!

Today’s dewpoint stayed in the low 60°s.

It was almost, can I say, comfortable?  The warm, kind embrace of a summer day.

Tomorrow….

Wait, what’s that mean for this week? How’s it looking? read more

Gross Summer slowly returns this week

Humidity will increase every day. Today will be on the low end of Sticky, but Monday-Wednesday it’ll be Uncomfortable: read more

Pretty Good Day Today Rain-Wise, But Low Clouds Tonight Not Ideal for Firework Viewing

Update: The Backdrop for Fireworks Looks Better Now

Most fireworks only fly about 1,200 feet up.

Models think “LCL levels” will be low tonight, meaning clouds should be closer to the ground. Some models predict cloud levels as low as only a thousand feet. read more
