Our 12z morning sounding from BNA today looks fairly similar to yesterday’s. No coincidence – much of the same can be expected. Our atmosphere will look fairly similar each day thru Tuesday. read more

We have one more day of our Heat Advisory, which expires at 7p today. Once again, heat index values up to 105° will be possible this afternoon and evening.

Although it will still be hot this weekend and next week, it just won’t be as hot. It’s still summer, so continue to take it easy if you must be outside for long periods of time. High temperatures continue to be in the low 90s. read more

Outflow boundary that moved thru this morning did a couple of things for us.

1. A good bit of Williamson Co. saw heavy rain, a few folks in Davidson. Watch out for any water on roads.
2. The outflow boundary cooled things off for everyone, BNA gusted to 36 mph and temps went from 84° to 77°
3. I think it’s unlikely we hit our projected high temp of 96°, although it will still get hot.
4. We still could see an afternoon shower or storm, but chances are still relatively low. But still, any storm could contain heavy rain, lightning and some gusty winds.

The Heat Advisory continues thru 7p Friday. Heat index values could still reach up to 107° today and Friday.

Continue to take it easy if you must be outside for long periods of time. Stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and look before you lock. read more

Unfortunately, I could copy and paste the blog from yesterday for today. I won’t – but the heat remains brutal.

“Astronomical summer kicks off today at 942 PM CDT, and right on cue, here comes a heat wave” was the opening line to the midday area forecast discussion from our friends at NWS Nashville – which I thought was very fitting. read more

Side note: we could see some areas of locally dense fog early Friday morning. Take it slow in the morning if you encounter any.

We are currently sitting at the 4th wettest start to the year ever, with BNA recording 35.01″ of rain so far. Your backyard may have seen slightly more/less. read more
