Scattered Afternoon Rain, and OMG It’s Humid Today
An enjoyable morning will set the stage for thunderstorm activity to pick up throughout the day.
The HRRR shows scattered showers mostly missing Williamson/Davidson this afternoon, but I’m not taking the model’s word for it. With the moisture in the air + afternoon heating, I expect more showers to pop up. Some may be in your backyard, some may not.
A thunderstorm cluster is in Western Kentucky moving southeast toward us, but the models think it’ll fizzle out before it gets here.
More storms may redevelop for a few of us this afternoon. Severe weather is not expected. There might be lightning or even a few pretty big downpours, but not for everyone.
A Tolerable Form of “Hot” on Saturday
Hear me out. It *sounds* hot outside today! It’s 10 am and the cicadas are already out chirping in full force.
Few clouds out this morning to provide relief from the sun. Today will be the first August day of this year to surpass 90º. That’s not very “on brand” for 2020, but I’m not complaining! Lucky for us, our dew points are still hanging out right around 65º. Hence, the “pleasant” heat.
Friday = Awesome
No rain, high around 90, tolerable humidity.
Fire up the grill, head to the golf course/lake, do literally anything outside today.
NWS Nashville mentions ridging will build starting Saturday. That with a surface high over the Gulf will help increase moisture return, thus better rain chances next week.
