We started out with a brisk low temperature this morning, reminding us that it is still winter. Coupled with sunny skies and increasingly southern winds, this cold will leave us.
Expect our high today to reach around 54°F today with light winds and sunshine.
The entire area will be at risk for flash flooding tonight when the heaviest rain moves through. Recent excessive rainfall saturated our soil and rose area rivers, creeks, and streams. We are vulnerable to flash flooding, especially tonight when it’s most dangerous because you can’t really see the water on the road in front of you.
The past few days have been… well cold, to say the least. Our average high for January is right around 48°F and our highs have been falling short of that recently. This will be changing as we move through the end of the work week.
Gusts up to 30 mph possible.
What’s up is a cold front coming through late Saturday night. Watch the cold air race in at the end of the Euro model below:
Before the cold front: rain Friday, heavy rain and storms – possibly severe – Saturday.
Cold morning temps will rebound nicely into the mid-50°s this afternoon.
Rain approaches overnight tonight into Thursday morning.
Rain starts Thursday morning.
Rain heaviest Thursday afternoon and evening.
We have a blanket of clouds over us today. This is out ahead of our next chance at rain.
Clouds should keep our high in the mid 50°s. Rain should keep away for today.
This system will mainly keep to our south. Model guidance is shaky for how this moves north. The further north this system tracks, the more rain we are likely to see.
This morning a good chunk of the continent is at or below freezing, except for some regions along the coastline.
The high in and around Nashville today will barely breach into the 40°s, around 43°F.
Very cold Thursday morning: 23°.
We will hit a high near 56°F today, with some clouds hanging around.
Saturday is leading us with an excellent start to the weekend. If you have any outdoor activities or need to decorate for Christmas, today is the best of the best.
The main focus today will be the severe threat off to our west.
The concern for us will be any lingering storms as they move toward us. Wind and heavy rains are what we expect for us here in Middle TN.
Current Radar: The rain is moving on out. There could be a few scattered showers. Other than that, we should be drying out for the rest of the day.
Cloud cover should hang out though. Patchy fog will also be possible tonight along commutes as temperatures drop.
