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.
That cold front that came through this weekend is doing us some good.
Even better news? There’s another one that’s coming through tonight into early Tuesday morning.
Dew points are expected to reach 65° this afternoon. It will still feel sticky outside, but mixed with those lower temps, it’s going to feel noticeably better than what we experienced in late July.
Friday Afternoon Rain Raises Localized Flooding Concerns
More showers will move through our area this afternoon, bringing an additional half inch to inch of rain. Localized flooding is the biggest concern today. Take a look at the amount of rain that has fallen in the past day in Davidson and Williamson counties, through 7am this morning:
