It’s stupid warm for second week of January but no one wore a skirt today. No one will wear one tomorrow. The wind’s been too strong. Modesty lives.
I saw on Twitter there’s a Wind Advisory for Friday night and Saturday. Winds may gust 30 MPH, 40 MPH, maybe as much as 50 MPH. Those Advisories talk about trees and power but when I see them Hashtag pants, make your daddy proud.
We’re going to have on and off rain throughout your Friday afternoon and into the evening hours. Hold onto your hats if you have any plans this evening as winds will continue to gust up to 30-40mph. Here’s the latest HRRR model, not all of us will see rain this afternoon and evening, but some will.
15 to 20 MPH winds with gusts as high as 30 MPH. Secure hats and lightweight aunts.
It’ll be windy Friday and especially Saturday.
The GFS model shows light, scattered showers late Friday, with the heaviest rain and storms sweeping through Saturday afternoon:
Gusts up to 30 mph possible.
What’s up is a cold front coming through late Saturday night. Watch the cold air race in at the end of the Euro model below:
Before the cold front: rain Friday, heavy rain and storms – possibly severe – Saturday.
The next few days in Middle Tennessee are going to be pretty nice. No rain in the forecast over the next couple days. We’ll continue to warm from our high today of 51°, and into the mid 50s and low 60s by Thursday.
Plenty of sun today with a high temp around 51°. Not cold, but not hot.
Good idea Olaf.
A low pressure system is getting its act together today down to our SW. This will move overhead and off to the NE overnight tonight, bringing a quarter inch or so of rain with it. Shear will be decent, but instability will be lacking, so we’re not expecting any snarky storms.
Sunny skies for days as high pressure abounds today and the majority of this week.. High temperatures during the day will stay in the low to mid 50’s, lows around freezing. Except for a chance for showers overnight on Tuesday, we’ll be dry.
Graupel, a sleetlike winter Sonic ice haily thing, fell today.
Precip/graupel was heavier NE of us, but it’s all moving out. Splat:Melt.
Cold tonight/overnight into Sunday morning. Low near freezing, will feel colder than that.
Periods of heavy rain will continue throughout much of the day. Urban and river flooding is still very much a risk. Middle Tennessee is under a Flood Watch through this afternoon, as the rain begins to become less widespread.
Rain is already moving into the area this Thursday morning. It will last through Friday.
The HRRR model shows rain all of Thursday, before dispersing on Friday:
The NAM3 model agrees:
Heavier rain should move out by Friday afternoon (as of right now), and the rest should leave by Friday night, though we could see some lighter lingering showers into Saturday.
