This Weekend – Awesome – High 61 Today, High 68

There’s high pressure in charge, so that’ll mean awesome weekend weather. Warm, too?

Next Week — Rainy

There’s a chance of light rain late Sunday night into Monday, but the system looks kinda weak, and it won’t squeeze out much rain. Maybe a few drops Monday morning. read more

Current Radar

Saturday – Much Warmer – Early 33°, High: 61°

Winds will quickly shift from out of the north to out of the south as the high pressure moves over our area.

We will be just on the fringe of the cold air mass Saturday morning.

The southerly winds will help us warm up during the afternoon. read more

Dusting Tonight?

The sleet, rain, and snow mix has been amusing today, only because it was melting on contact. Temps have been hovering around 40° all day.

We expected this nonsense to have stopped by sundown. read more

Off & On Light Rain & Flurries Today

And maybe some sleet, too.

A little shortwave coming around the back side of the departed storm system will lift up some clouds and send us scattered, light, off and on (mostly “off”) rain, sleet, and snow showers today. As usual, the HRRR illustrates this for us: read more

Some Rain Tonight

We’ll get a little rain tonight as a giant rain blob passes S and E of us. HRRR illustrates:

Shenanigans Afoot Tuesday

Mostly, south of us.

A powerful surface low will spin into Mississippi tomorrow and march NE, delivering a significant severe weather worry for those in south MS/AL. read more

Current Radar

Cool Off

A cold front will shove in some rain then pass by tonight, sweeping away the rain and dropping temps for Monday and Tuesday. It won’t be that much cooler, just “cooler” relative to this unseasonably warm spell. read more

Rain on the Way

A weak boundary is draped across the region, and may set off a few light, brief showers tonight. But, probably not.

Overnight, and into the early morning hours, low pressure will scoot by and spread some rain in. HRRR model shows it gathering in the wee morning hours: read more

Rain Ending Tonight

The rain should pull away by 9 PM. Here’s the HRRR’s prediction:

Notice the snow at the TN/KY line. As the precip moves out, there is a possibility we’ll briefly see a little sleet/snow mix north of I-40 tonight — we are already below freezing at 5,000 feet. No local accumulation or travel problems expected. read more

Rainy Night

After a few early afternoon hours of sleet and snow, the rain left.

Now the ice is trying to come back for a few hours tonight.

Just issued by NWS, statement — "wintry mix will continue this evening north of I-40." pic.twitter.com/HA73WEgJiX read more

Radar indicates snow already to our NW.

This should work down I-24 this morning, and mainly impact areas along and north of I-40. There is not much of it, but as I write this, temps at the surface and aloft are all below freezing, so it should be snow. Yet the air aloft is also pretty dry, meaning much of this snow will evaporate before we will even see it. So, we think this will be a little “pre-event” light snow, but not a big deal. read more
