On one edge of the blade, you have super hot, uncomfortable temperature + dewpoint combo, but there is no severe weather. On the other edge, you get kinda hot, but then a shower/storm comes and cools you down. Maybe not the easiest choice. Good thing Mother Nature decides for you. read more

Since 1986, NWS Nashville has only ever issued an Excessive Heat Warning four times. Once in 2010, twice in 2011, and now again today. The only previous one that included Davidson and Williamson counties was in 2010, also on a Wednesday. Point being, this degree of heat and humidity is quite rare, and is dangerous. read more

It’s going to be downright hot. No other way to put it.

Take it easy if you have to be outside today. This heat will overwhelm you faster than you think, no matter how well you think you can handle it, similar to your crazy ex. read more

Besides probably sweating a lot, the 4th looks pretty good. Temps in the mid/upper 90’s, paired with dewpoints hovering around the 70° mark, will lead to heat index in the 100-105° range, which is cooler than the rest of this week will be…I might just stay inside and watch Joey Chestnut eat more hot dogs in 10 minutes than I ever have. read more

Some of us won the Wattery yesterday.

Will. Co got a bit more.

Some of us did not win. That’s the name of the game. Sometimes ya win, sometimes ya lose.

Whether you like it or not, you’re playing again today. IDK if you’ll win or lose (whichever way you see it). read more

As a refresher, wattery pun = playing the lottery for rain, who knows who will win, watery as in the water our crunchy grass desperately needs, and watt as in electricity with lightning in any of these storms. Super punny, I know. read more

Clouds this morning has knocked the forecasted high down to “only” 94. With the dewpoints in the upper 60’s it’ll still feel closer to 100.

Currently some rain in NW Tennessee and Kentucky. Models don’t think this rain makes it to us and dissipates before arrival. read more

It’s still hot. Dewpoints in the mid 60’s will make it feel a lot closer to the 100° mark today.

Maybe pop-up showers/lightningstorms, but HRRR (and most) models think this stays to our east, letting us roast. read more

Correct.

Up to 97­° today but dewps in the upper 50’s will make it feel not-so-bad, but still hot. No rain today to put the high temp in jeopardy.

Saturday and Sunday temps will be 96-97 and dewpoints will get buffed into the mid-upper 60’s, so the heat index goes back into the 100-104 range. read more
