Started out with temps below freezing this morning, but plenty of sunshine has propelled our temperatures into the mid to upper 50s.

This will be a reoccurring theme throughout the work week.

Rain chances will increase Saturday/Sunday thanks to a low-pressure system to our south. Usually around this time of year, if we mention a low-pressure system to our south, we’d normally have to talk about snow. However, with no cold air in place, we’ll be stuck with just rain chances. read more

With high pressure dominating the region, we’ll be in a calm, unchanging weather pattern for a while. I like calm.

Besides today, with high temps in the mid 40s, the rest of the week we’ll see highs in the mid to upper 50s. AM temps will be around freezing. read more

A cool day is made colder by a jerk wind from the NW, making it feel several degrees colder than it actually is.

Thankfully, calm weather is in the forecast for this week. No rain in the forecast until maybe Saturday. read more

A Tornado Watch has been issued for both of our counties until 7pm tonight.

Our probabilities from the Storm Prediction Center are:

• 15% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles
• 15% chance of severe hail within 25 miles
• 10% of a tornado within 25 miles (10% or greater chance of EF2+ tornado)

Our main threat today continues to be damaging straight-line winds, but severe hail and a tornado or two cannot be ruled out. read more

It’s been… /checks calendar/ …a while since we’ve talked about any severe weather chances.

Although it is December, this is not unusual for us. We are in the midst of our second severe weather season, and although it has been quiet/non-existent so far, it has finally awoken. read more

I’ll start off with good news, and that is that our drought situation has improved. It is not gone, but it has improved.

Davidson has been left with a Moderate Drought, while WillCo. is under a Severe Drought. Better than the Extreme Drought we were dealing with. read more

A few locations might reach 32° tonight, but other than that, we’ll take a pause on sub-freezing temps for a little while. Strong southerly flow will help our high temps reach the 60’s Thursday – Sunday. read more

BNA only got to a high of 43° today, which is the coolest high since March 19th earlier this year. We’ll dip down into the low 20’s again tonight, I bet a few backyards could reach the upper teens. read more

Some light drizzle still moving thru the area, just enough to be slightly annoying.

Drizzle will be all gone by Monday morning as we wake up to temps below freezing, with wind chills in the low 20s.

This will be a common theme Monday – Wednesday. Thursday high temps finally warm up to the 60s and they’ll stay there as we enter December. read more

Nice fall Saturday.

We’ll have some light rain chances Sunday.

HRRR model (above) shows two main chances for light showers, Sunday morning thru lunch, then again Sunday evening.

Rainfall totals look very low. read more
