We finally get some “cooler” weather. Now, it’ll still be warm, but temperatures will be very much near-average.
Some much-needed rain will also be in the forecast.
HRRR model shows some storms popping up around 8pm or so tonight. Not totally sold on this yet, but it’s possible. A storm or two could have some damaging straight-line winds. But chances are very low.
Even without the Heat Advisory, it’ll still be hot.
In hopes of cooling off, there will be an outside shot at winning the Wattery this afternoon/evening.
The HRRR model (above) shows the storm complex to our NW falling apart, with maybe some of us getting some rain. If a storm does surprise you, heavy rain, lightning and some gusty winds will be possible – but no severe weather expected.
We did end up getting to 100° yesterday at BNA, fingers crossed we don’t repeat that today and tomorrow.
“…the last time we reached 100 two days in a row (at BNA) was just last year on August 24 and 25. If we get there today and tomorrow, that would be 3 days in a row. The last time we did that, we did it twice in one year: July and August 1990.” – NWS Nashville
Finally have some good news to share, but first I’ll get the bad news out of the way.
The next 4 or 5 days will be brutally hot.
High temps will be flirting with the 100° mark thru Tuesday.
It can be a bit challenging here to actually get to 100°, but we may make it. Our best chances will probably be Sunday or Monday. 99° or 100°, either way you’ll sweat.
Hot temps and moist dewps have returned today. Low chances of seeing any rain this afternoon and evening.
The Storm Predicition Center currently has our counties outlooked with a 2% chance of a tornado within 25 miles, and a 5% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles – higher probs to our NW.
