I don’t know if you’ve heard already, but a tropical storm made landfall in South Carolina last night. What does this mean for us? Not much in the grand scheme of things. No tropical storm force winds or anything of that nature. It already fell apart over Georgia earlier this morning, but remnants headed toward us could very well be packing some “lift” that we lacked yesterday. Satellite imagery shows this convection building up to the south tracking northwest.
Expect a few pop up showers and lightning storms starting this afternoon. Some storms stay into the night but most fade away with the heat of the day.
Tomorrow looks the same with the afternoon pop ups. HRRR below has the same timeline with storms coming in early to mid afternoon and dissipating after midnight.
Rain is holding back to the west of us and is expected to stay there today. This should keep us dry. HRRR model:
Those out at local events today will notice temps warmer than yesterday as well as a bit more humidity, but nothing overly oppressive. Great weather for the Steeplechase event today as well as the Blackberry Jam Music Festival in Franklin.
Temps have risen from earlier this week, so today is going to be hot. Dewps have risen too, but not to apocalyptic levels. It will feel sticky, not like you’re drowning. No rain today.
Dry trend should continue Friday. HRRR shows no rain in our area. Friday overall should be very similar weather wise Thursday.
The rain and storms have made their way to our East, and what’s left is some mild temperatures and low dewpoints.
Two days. The surface high that’s providing these awesome temps will be here through Wednesday, but then a low pressure system moves in to raise humidity into extra deodorant swipe/hair probs levels.
A cold front moving east will collide with our humid airmass to bring activity delaying lightning, heavy rain in some spots, and — potentially — damaging straight line winds.
We do not expect tornadoes. We’re excluded from SPC tornado outlooks and NWS-Nashville forecasts and graphics. This is because forecast data (see below) does not indicate a tornado-hospitable atmosphere as storms arrive.
