Hot, sticky, and sweaty is the theme for the day. High temps aren’t expected to creep out of the low 80s and dewpoints will be stationed in the mid 60s.
Again, by the early afternoon we are looking at widespread showers throughout our area.
Good news! Looks like today will be a bit drier compared to what we’ve had the last couple of days.
We do have some model agreement that today will feature less coverage of pop-up showers. This comes from a weak ridge that will be building into our region late today.
As discussed yesterday, days like today are hard to predict.
Today is expected to be like yesterday, with rain showers appearing as the sun heats the surface.
Due to overnight cooling, most storms died during the night. An increase of moisture closer to the surface left us with widespread cloud cover and thick fog in some places. The fog mixed out as the sun came up and warmed us up.
Heat and humidity continue today. The ridge of high pressure responsible for the sauna is still in place, but as we move into the afternoon, it’s going to begin breaking down. Until then, our temps are still going to flirt with record breaking highs; the record high in Nashville on this day is 91, set back in 1962. We’re forecast to hit 91 today. Dewpoints are going to hang around the upper 60’s all day, so it’ll be another sweaty one.
The strong ridge of high pressure has really settled in over our area enhancing a southerly flow and keeping cloud-cover low. These conditions are going to let our temps to creep upwards close to 90. We are on a direct course to come close to 90 degrees today.
The HRRR and NAM 3km models are showing some agreement today as they spell out spotty showers. An upper-level shortwave trough will be influencing our weather for parts of the day today.
The humid, summer-like conditions continue for our area.
Expect temps to crawl into the upper 80s with dew points settled into the low 60s. It’s going to be a hot day!
A loop of current satellite imagery shows the lack of clouds over our area. For today, our weather is being heavily influenced by a ridge of clear, dry weather to our west. Expect today to be warm but dry.
Rain moved in early this morning, although it’s been holding back a bit through mid-morning. Rain will increase in coverage and intensity around lunch and continue into the afternoon.
How long will it stay?
Temps today are going to feel more like summer than spring. Highs could creep into the upper 80s! Without clouds, we’ll bake a bit. Some of you may even see your car thermometer hit 90.
Will we see rain today? Not likely.
Temps are climbing into the mid 80s! We have an upper level are of high pressure to thank for this.
That high pressure is slowly moving out, but not before pumping in warmer south winds, rising our temperature each day this week.
