Rain, rain go away. I know it’s Friday and the start of the weekend, but outdoor plans might be out of the question for this evening.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be moving through Middle Tennessee mainly after noon and into this evening. Here’s the latest HRRR model, showing these pop up thunderstorms putting a damper on our Friday afternoon and evening:
Another hot and steamy day is on tap as winds from the south continue to pump hot and humid air into the region. High temperatures will top out at 96 degrees with heat index values between 100 and 104. This is right below the threshold for a Heat Advisory, but it will still be oppressive out there.
Hot and muggy, with a small chance of a pop-up storm this afternoon.
High could reach the mid-90°s today with dewpoints settling around the low-70°s.
Most of the rain today, if any, will be due to (1) day-time heating, typical summer, and/or (2) weak shortwave moving through. This could encourage storm development, but not by much.
We will see temperatures in the lower 90°s and dew points in the mid 60°s.
It will continue to be hot, with temperatures at or above 90°F for the next 7 days.
They’ll be starting with the first performance tonight at 6 PM, going through until 11 PM. Should be clear tonight with lowered dew points and the temperature should drop quite nicely.
