Take a look at that! Something for everyone. 50, 60, 70 for the last-half of the week and weekend. Incredible! And dry! Dew points will stay below 50º the whole time. Can’t say enough about it.
Awesome Weather on The Way. But First, Storms

A Few Chances for Rain and Severe
This week, temperatures remain above normal. Very springlike. But springlike also means the risk for rain and storms. Let’s get into it.
Today, our neighbors to the south have a chance for severe weather along the TN-AL border. Storms and rain could drift our way, but no significant impact is expected. A rumble of thunder might be heard in southern Williamson county. Overnight and into Tuesday our chances for rain increase. Still, scattered at best, but some overnight thunder is possible. If that’s the case our morning Dense Fog Advisory could be replaced by a Dense Dog Advisory tonight.
Cold but Slowly Warming
We were at 30º at 10:30am but we’re starting a slow warming trend over the next few days. Cold, clear, and dry. Rain returns by the end of the week.
New Years Eve: Windchill should be hovering around 30º at midnight. Clear skies and no rain should make for an enjoyable time outside if you bring your hat and mittens. Rizzy Leo says make some plans and go enjoy yourself.
Cold and Clear
Overnight lows into the upper teens is a shock to the system given our weather last week and yesterday. The good news is that things will be quiet for most of the week. Seasonal cold and and sun. NWS forecast grids show little sky cover until rain returns late in the week.
Potential for Strong Winds Today and Tonight
72º for a high isn’t all bad. However it won’t last much longer. A cold front sweeps in tonight and drops our temperature like a music note on New Years Eve.
We’ll see a 40º difference from 3pm today and 8am tomorrow. This cold front is also bringing some potentially strong winds. Right now the weather service believes the wind stays below severe limits (58mph). I do expect them to issue some sort of wind advisory for us, however, that’s not a sure thing. Some of these winds could launch your inflatable Santa down the street.
Warm and Cloudy vs. Cold and Clear
If it’s going to be warm, can’t it at least be sunny? Sheesh.
We started the day with a dense layer of fog that didn’t thin out until 11am. The temp will hover around 65 or 70 today, overnight, and tomorrow before a cold front will approach from the west. Until then enjoy warm, muggy, and overcast conditions.
Clouds, Drizzle, Warm
Those are the three best words to sum up today’s weather. The warmest temps we’ve seen in a December in years are still hanging around. 70’s for highs Today, Saturday, and Sunday are forecasted before we take a big temperature tumble down to the low 20’s by Tuesday morning.

🎄 The Tropical Christmas Vibe
I have never been to Hawaii but I’m guessing this is what it feels like there today. Temperatures are headed for the low 70s again while you unwrap gifts. Humidity remains high (precipitable water values this morning are 185 % of normal), but that doesn’t translate to buckets of rain.
A Return to Rain
Monday:
A few storms could bubble up before lunch and hang around through the afternoon. They’ll be hit‑or‑miss—so you might stay dry, or you might catch a quick downpour with small hail. Keep the umbrella and the radar handy, just in case. No big tornado vibes here, but gusty winds could knock small limbs around.
Storms Brew Early Week — Eyes on Friday
This evening…
An upper low is spinning over the Lower Mississippi Valley and still has its hands in our weather. Daytime heating has cooked up CAPE (storm fuel) which has sparked storms. CAMs (those fancy short-term models we love) showed most of the action east of I-65 toward the Plateau. But this evening’s radar shows storms a little more widespread.
