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.
So, the sprinkles. A couple of models had indicated that we could get some rain today, but most said nope. The forecast leaned dry. For the most part the showers that have developed have been mere sprinkles. Reason? Our friend (or foe) the Dry Air Monster. He’s not very strong today, but he’s there, visible on the morning weather balloon…eating rain as it falls through the air.
71° today, steadily increasing to near 80° this weekend. Average for this time of year is around 67°
Rain chances come back late Saturday into Sunday. Latest Euro model thinks we’ll see a half inch or less. Timing is ?? But will become more clear as we get closer. Severe weather and/or flash flooding is not expected.
Rain amounts over the last 24 hours came in right around forecast amounts; generally somewhere around two tenths of an inch. Probably didn’t get your local creek flowing, but every little bit helps add moisture to the soil under our feet. As trees and grass go dormant for the winter, rain will be able to make it to our waterways more easily.
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/ .
Really nice late October Saturday. Looks like the rain should hold off all day, so outdoor Halloween activities look to have the green light. Worst case scenario, there’s a quick lil’ shower, doubt it though.
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.
We got a decent rain yesterday, which was great. Best of all, no severe weather. Rain amounts were generally around a half inch. Officially .51″ at BNA. We’ll take it! Cocorahs rain reports below.
