Oscillating between cold and colder and grey skies and sun is pretty typical for us this time of year.
The warmer temps we’ve felt the last few weeks are a distant memory when you walk out the door today. The cold has set in. We’ll have plenty of sun today, but temps will struggle to make it into the mid 40s thanks to a stiff wind from the NW. At least it isn’t Blerg.
Today… Blerg again. It’s our official unofficial term for Temps below 40 with no sun. That’s us today.
We had 70s on Thursday and 60s yesterday. Today and tomorrow we’ll struggle to get into the 40s. Sun will return tomorrow but evening temps will be below freezing.
In this blog we’ll cover two different weather stories. The rain, and the temps.
We woke to water falling from the sky. As of posting this, we’ve gotten more than an inch of rain at BNA. We have a bit more rain left this morning before it moves east and the sun comes out. Below is the HRRR through 1pm Friday.
Some patchy fog is possible this morning. A boundary in place will keep the low clouds over us. This boundary is a bit of a deviation from yesterdays forecast. The clouds hang around until Monday. A few passing showers aren’t out of the question, but no organized rain development is expected per the HRRR (below).
The headline says it all. Today is a glorious weather day. Upper 70s to low 80s, abundant sunshine, and it’s Friday. Cocktail on a patio type of afternoon and evening. You earned it. EDIT: It might be windy.
I’m so glad we aren’t a newspaper. Not sure that headline would make it past an editor. But since I’m the editor, I approve.
…anyway. Today and Tomorrow are going to be great weather days. Upper level ridge will give us upper 70s and minimal cloud cover. However, this too shall pass.
Radar shows some thin rain bands are spinning in today. Some of us will see more than others. We have a chance for more rain this afternoon and evening. Low end chance for thunder and heavy showers. Below is a mid day radar loop. Live radar can be found here https://nashvillesevereweather.com/radar/ .
A north wind kept us cool yesterday. Today we warm up into the low 70s and we’ll see very little cloud cover. Clouds begin building in on Saturday around noon. After that, our weather takes a bit of a turn.
Ahead is a fantastic couple of weather days with sunny skies and warming temperatures through Friday. Highs in the upper 60s to low 70s will make for a nice end to the work week.
Saturday, things start to change. Rain comes in on a low pressure system along with a chance for thunder storms. Nothing severe is expected at this point and rain won’t be constant. The Euro Hi Res (below) is estimating about an inch of rain through Sunday night.
Today and tomorrow look like beautiful days with highs in the low 70s to even 80. Abundant sunshine and even a touch of humidity will remind you of the the best days we had this summer.
This beautiful weather gets interrupted on Tuesday by an approaching cold front. It brings our temperatures down and also brings a chance of rain for Tuesday and Tuesday night. Storm chances are meh, but a rumble of thunder isn’t out of the question.
