A Couple Showers This Afternoon?

Meh.

Our afternoon today is looking fairly warm and dry, despite some showers in west Tennessee marching east. The HRRR model is showing a few of these between 2 PM and 4 PM today:

However, our air is still pretty dry and no one really thinks that rain will get here. NWS-Nashville says chances are slight we’ll get a light shower. Unlikely to rain anything out. read more

Humidity increases – although still pretty comfy – but the high climbs to 90°.

Remaining warm and humid with a high of 89° and dew points in the low 60°s. An isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible, but those should form southeast of us. Here is the latest NAM3 model:

BEST NEWS

TONIGHT’S BOURBON LOW

Today and tonight, low pressure will be spinning over the Bourbon trail.

Because winds spin counterclockwise around a low, showers developed by the low should rotate into Middle Tennessee, including us (Nashville and Will Co) later this afternoon or tonight. read more

Later today there is a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms. NWS-Nashville mentions the possibility for a few strong storms this afternoon: read more

Wednesday

Not too much to say here except hot and sunny:

The HRRR model shows rain staying to our north.

Note these storms are passing pretty close to us. We still think they’ll miss us but this will need to be watched in case the data is a bit off and we get surprised. read more

ALERT! INDULGENT STORY BY THE EDITOR!

If you just want the forecast, scroll beyond the blue.

Watching those Ohio tornadoes on radar last night took me back to when I was a small boy, living not that far from Dayton. Mom, dad, baby sister and I lived in Mason OH, not far from Xenia, not long after their F5. Tornadoes were on the mind in SW OH in the late 1970s. read more

Editor’s Note.

It’s Memorial Day.

You honor a sacrifice when you stop and remember the man and his sacrifice.

We remember Army Spc. Jason K. Edens.

He was born in Nashville. He graduated from Franklin High School in 2007. After a few semesters in college, he joined the Army then married Ashley.  Assigned to the 1st Squadron, 13th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, Texas, he was deployed to Afghanistan in the fall of 2011. read more

Sunday & Memorial Day

Remaining hot and humid with highs of 93 degrees both days. An isolated shower or thunderstorm can’t be ruled out due to the high heat and moisture in the atmosphere, but once again, we aren’t expecting anything significant. Be confident in any barbecue or pool plans.  read more
