Say hello to another hot day, and when I say hot, I mean temperatures that feel like they’re in the mid-upper 90s. Go west to get more miserable, there the heat index should approach 100.
The HRRR Model thinks our heat index will be mid 90s.
Severe thunderstorms in the MO Bootheel this morning should stay west of us this afternoon. The severe risk looks to be in the yellow and dark green areas above. We are east of all that. Expect some clouds this afternoon, but with all this heat and humidity, we can’t rule out an afternoon or evening pop-up thunderstorm.
Highs will be around 90 with dew points hovering between sticky and uncomfortable.
Few more clouds than Tuesday but rain chances still remain low. The HRRR model thinks rain and a few nonsevere storms will are possible on the fringes of Middle Tennessee, but nothing impacting us.
Today
Skies will be a mix of sun and a few clouds today with temps climbing through the 80s. We should see a high of 89°.
The dew point is at 65° today, which will cause that hot, sticky feeling in the air. The warmest, stickiest part of the day will be in the 3-6 pm time frame, improving after that.
Today/Tonight
This morning light rain is near Huntsville, Alabama, moving NNE and will pass to our east.
A few storms are expected to form this afternoon to our southwest, then move NNE. Exactly when and where, we don’t know because the models can’t be trusted to be exact, and the models vary by run.
