Remnants of Tropical Depression Barry will continue to affect our area today and the next couple of days. A band of broken showers and storms will move through late this afternoon into the early evening, sometime after 5 pm. A few storms could be on the stronger side, The Storm Prediction Center currently has the western edge of Davidson County under a Marginal risk (1/5) for some of these storms to become severe.
Barry is the big weather story.
WHAT BARRY IS DOING AND WHERE IT’S GOING
If you’re reading this Saturday afternoon, there may be updates to below National Hurricane Center (NHC) graphics, which you can find here.
Happy Friday everyone! Classic July afternoon today.
A hot and humid afternoon, high of 91° with sweltering dewpoints in the low 70s.
Heat index will be in the upper 90s again so hydrate.
There’s a small chance of a couple pop-up showers, especially south of I-40. HRRR model predicts most showers south of the city:
Today and the next few days are going to be hot. As high pressure continues to move over our area, we’re going to steer mostly clear of showers this afternoon area wide. Temperatures will be up in the mid 90s, mostly sunny. We’re going to need to keep an eye on the heat index values. The high temperatures accompanied with the dewpoint values in the low 70s, heat index values will creep above 100°, even to just below the 105° range. Heat precautions are going to be needed so keep these tips from the NWS in mind:
As we move into the second week of July, we continue with our average summertime weather. Hot, humid, somewhat miserable outside, with a chance of pop-up storms during the afternoon.
Our high should top out at around 92°F today, with dew points in the upper 60°s. Heat index in the upper 90°s, perhaps scratching triple digit territory.
Rain currently southwest, south, and southeast so far, but we could also see some showers today.
HRRR model predicts afternoon and evening scattered showers:
Some scattered storms later Sunday afternoon will be capable of heavy rain and strong winds, so have a backup plan in case you’re spending the day outside and find yourself under one of these pop-ups.
