Your Dry Crunchy Grass Awaits

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

“What Is ‘Hot With Hopes For Rain’ For 400 Alex?”

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

Dangerous Heat + Humidity Isn’t Going Anywhere

This brutal heat is continuing to be a total vibe killer.

High of 98° (which would break the daily high record by 2°) combined with a dewpoint of 72-73° will be lead a heat index of 106-108 (in the shade). For that reason, NWS Nashville has issued another Heat Advisory for us today from 11AM – 7PM. Wednesday will have nearly the same temp/dewps combo, so they went ahead and issued another Heat Advisory for us tomorrow. read more

Maybe Some Storms Today, Definitely Dangerous Heat + Humidity This Week

SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has outlooked us for a 5% chance for damaging wind and hail threat for today. Reason being, there is currently a cluster of storms in Nebraska. SPC thinks this cluster may end up being an “I-24 Special” due to our atmosphere having a whole lot of CAPE (storm fuel). None of the models really have a good handle on this. The HRRR and NAM3k model think nothing, the Euro and a couple others think something. If I had to bet, I’d bet more on nothing, but I don’t bet. We’ll be watching it all day and tweeting if it does materialize. read more
