If you read yesterday’s blog then today will sound familiar. High’s in the low-mid 90’s and dewps in the low 70’s making it feel like 100 degF. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms roll in mid afternoon. No severe weather is expected out of these storm pockets. Always be prepared for lightning and possible high wind gusts.
The Storm Prediction Center believes there’s a 5% chance you will see damaging straight-line wind within 25 miles of you today and tonight. While the threat is low, it is not zero. Two of our communities have seen the affects of microbursts recently, Oak Hill and Nolensville. Will we see another one today? We don’t know. But, the chance is there and worth noting, especially if your plans include being outdoors.
The weather today is looking very similar to yesterday. Dry, high’s in the upper 80’s, and dew points hovering in the upper 50s so far. HRRR updated and we are no longer having afternoon scattered showers today whoop whoop! Today and tomorrow are staying dry with no storms popping up on the models. Tomorrow dew points will creep up a tiny bit to the low 60’s, temps stay the same.
The trend continues! High’s in the upper 80’s today until the weekend. Not expecting any precip today and dew point lingers around 60 woohoo!
The smoke from the wildfires starts to move out today. Throughout today the yellow line of smoke moves south and out of our counties for a clearer tomorrow shown by HRRR below.
Not a super wet Tuesday with only a couple scattered showers for this afternoon/evening. HRRR has storms popping in late afternoon and should be out of the area by 9pm. These storms may include lighting so lookout for that. Also expect quick downpours and gusts of winds. Will you get rained on? No one really knows. Rain is more likely south of 40 than north of 40. But either area could get rained or stormed on.
Rain continues south of us today. We may see an upper level low spin a few showers in here this afternoon along and south of I-40. Nothing like yesterday, though. Here’s the HRRR model:
Our soil is saturated so WPC included those generally along and south I-40 in it’s 5% to 10% probability of flash flooding. Meh, but something to watch.
