A non-Zoo tiger is loose in Knoxville, parts of hurricane hit Louisiana remain without power, and check out the smoke covering large parts of Oregon and California.
Things aren’t so bad here.
Plenty of sunshine Thursday with a high around 91. The rain will be way east of us.
Full supply of sunshine today with temps around 92.
You might feel a little stickiness with dew points in the low 60s but nothing too unbearable.
Clear conditions tonight with a low of 67.
No change to the “warm and dry” part of the forecast with a high of 91. Humidity, however, will be a bit higher with dew points in the mid to upper 60s.
Slight uptick in humidity Monday but still comfortable. High of 90 with no rain.
Clear skies tonight with lows in the mid 60s.
Maybe a touch more humid with another high at 90. No rain again.
Upper-level ridging will make it very hard to get deep moisture in here, NWS Nashville notes:
Laura is now a post-tropical cyclone situated over West Virginia. It will continue moving to the east and go off the eastern seaboard later today. We say good riddance.
Sticky, Sweaty, Unbearable Humidity. Highs at 90 with dew points in the low 70s. Rain is iffy today. HRRR model shows a line of showers/storms moving south out of Kentucky and clipping the eastern part of our area later this evening.
Low pressure system over the Gulf will lift northeastward and provide our area with plenty of showers/storms the next couple of days.
HRRR models paints a wet picture. It appears anytime after 3PM would be the best time for seeing the heavier downpours
High of 89 with dew points low-mid 60s. We will definitely take that for mid-August. No rain today with mostly sunny skies. Go outside and enjoy it.
Tonight will feature clear skies with temps hovering around 70
August heat and humidity…
Low 90s for temps and low 70s for dew points means dangerous heat indices. HRRR Model is very bullish with a max heat index of 103.
Upper 90s to around 100 appear very likely. Limit time outside during the peak heating hours and check the backseat!!
Friday = Awesome
No rain, high around 90, tolerable humidity.
Fire up the grill, head to the golf course/lake, do literally anything outside today.
NWS Nashville mentions ridging will build starting Saturday. That with a surface high over the Gulf will help increase moisture return, thus better rain chances next week.
Showers and storms will start to dot the radar this afternoon.
HRRR Model fires up storms just after noon and keeps them around a few hours after sunset.
Temperatures will still be in the low 90s but where showers do form, expect a brief cool off.
Same forecast as the past several days: hot, humid, chance for mainly afternoon/evening thunderstorms.
Will it rain at your bbq at 5PM? We simply don’t know. Someone’s bbq will probably get rained out at 5PM, but we can’t pinpoint exactly who will get it and when it will happen. Not in the summer.
