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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Temps have quickly recovered from below freezing and we are on our way to the upper 50s. Whole lotta sun and food. Keep an eye on your uncle who’s cooking the turkey. “Don’t worry I’ve done this hundreds of times” but it comes out dry everytime?
Cooler weather day than we’ve been having, but pretty typical for this time of year.
We’ll wake up on Turkey Day with temps hovering around 32°. We’ll warm up to near 60° by the afternoon, no rain chances. Perfect day for watching football, eating lots of food, and some naps.
We finally got some decent rainfall across the area.
Looks like everyone received about 1″, the big winners look to be the Fairview area and far northern Davidson Co. with 2″+.
This will certainly be a help, but it won’t solve all our drought problems. New drought monitor comes out on Thursday to give us the update.
Still the two main headlines of today are the gusty winds and rain overnight.
A Wind Advisory will be in effect from 6pm today thru 6am Tuesday. Wind gusts up to 45 mph are possible. As of 4pm, BNA has already gusted up to 28 mph and winds will continue to howl. Secure outdoor furniture, trashcans, Christmas decorations, God’s frisbees, etc.
