Thursday
It’s beautiful! Very few clouds overhead this morning.
This weather will continue throughout the day today (and tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day… but we’ll get to that). Highs will be in the mid-80’s, right around 84º. Here are the temperatures through midnight tonight:
The dewpoint was over 70 this morning.
That blue thing in west Tennessee on the below map is the cold front we’ve been tweeting about. It’s moving east and will replace our swampy “oppressive” airmass with a crisp, clean, breathable, “comfortable” airmass.
Today
Overcast skies are the current conditions we are seeing for now at 77 degrees.
As the day continues, the threat for severe weather continues as well.
The threats that are possible with this severe weather include…
Skies will be mostly cloudy today. Although stronger storms should remain to our southwest, we can’t rule out a stray storm ending up in your backyard. Because of Cristobal’s location to our west, wind speeds will increase. There will be a 10 to 15 mph southeast wind with possible 25 mph gusts. Highs will be near 91°.
If you liked the air-you-can-wear weather we felt Saturday, Sunday won’t disappoint. High today 93 with heat index around 95.
Here’s the heat index from the HRRR Model, suggesting mid 90s. Remember these numbers are in the shade.
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.
There may be some strong to severe storms coming through the area today.
Key word: “may.”
Storms will be scattered storms, so it will be hard to pinpoint where they will hit.
Here’s what the HRRR model thinks — notice it doesn’t think we’ll see much of anything until around midnight.
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.
