Saturday Snow on the Winds of Northwest Flow? Yes? No? Maybe So. Meh.

“Northwest Flow” is weather nerd for winds blowing from the north west. Our rain/mix/snow will be riding NW flow overnight through Saturday night.

Saturday will be cold. We won’t get higher than the low 40°s. read more

Tornado Watch In Effect Until 10 AM

Remember, a “Watch” covers a large area and means “be ready.”

A “Warning” (which we will post to Twitter @NashSevereWx — which you can find by clicking the top banner — but not to the blog itself) means take cover: the warned severe weather event is imminent or occurring in a small, specific area. read more

ETA 7 AM to 9 AM, Give or Take a Few Hours. Damaging Winds Most Likely, Hail & Tornado Also Possible

Quick Look Forecast

Wednesday

What: Damaging Winds (Main Threat), Large Hail, & (a Smaller) Tornado Threat

Storms will form a long line on radar, called a squall line, which will quickly speed through Wednesday morning. They should be packing quite the punch:

  1. Damaging straight-line winds are the most likely severe weather threat.
  2. Large hail is the next most likely hazard.
  3. Less likely, but still possible, is a brief tornado embedded in the squall line.

The probability of any of these happening withing 25 miles of you is 30%. read more

Warmruary Returns This Week With Three Unexciting Rain Chances

Warmruary Is Back, Y’all

All these temps will be close to record highs, running 15° to 20° above the average temp for late February.

Let’s unpack those rain chances from the crap-app posted above.

Rain Chance #1: Tuesday. Maybe a Little. Weather Models Inconsistent.

Models remain inconsistent in predicting this event. One model (the GFS) thinks most of the rain will go south of us. The other model (the Euro) also has most of the rain south of us, but thinks we will get some rain during the day. The NAM3 model is getting into range (it’s posted below, looking at the wee hours of Tuesday morning through lunch), and it too has very little/no rain for us. It’ll be a cloudy day for sure, but for now (check back on this) my gut says only a small amount of rain Tuesday. read more

Much Colder Tomorrow Morning! Rest of February: Not So Much.

It’ll be 34° Monday Morning!

North winds and clearing skies = big time cool down.

30°s Mornings & 50°s Afternoons Thru Thursday

A boring weather pattern will be (yawn) interrupted by some rain late Tuesday night.

No severe weather or other shenanigans expected.

Next Weekend: More 60°s!

No rain is expected; but remember, next weekend is too far away to make any promises. read more

Cold Front Today (& What’s Happening to Winter 2017?)

CURRENT RADAR

A Cold Front Arrives Today

Upper 60°s, clouds, humidity, and a small chance of a light sprinkle will linger this morning. All this will end this afternoon thanks to a cold front. You’ll know when the cold front is here when rain picks up and/or the wind starts blowing steady and chilly from the north. After that happens, the rain chance is over. We don’t expect rain after lunch. read more
