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.
The cold front that passed through yesterday has left us some dry and cool air, which continues until the weekend.
Friday, the cold front that brought us this cool and dry weather will have moved well off the east coast. Two things will happen after this. 1, we will warm up significantly (dewpoints and temperatures). 2, we’ll be watching the Gulf Coast to see when/if a tropical system will make landfall.
Temps up into the 90s this afternoon. Heat index is expected 99 degrees. Dewps in the low to mid 70s are oppressive according to the scale below.
Most of the morning and afternoon will be free of rain. If you’re thinking it’s about time, don’t get too ahead of yourself. Scattered thunderstorms are STILL a possibility with a cold front passing through the area late this afternoon.
