This week is starting dry.

Why dry? We’re dominated by a ridge building across the central United States. Ridges are high pressure, pressing down and suppressing vertical motion key to making it rain. read more

The first half of the work/school week looks pretty good.

Today our weather is better than New York’s weather and I hope our football team is also, you know, better than the Giants.

(Apologies to my mother in law, who loves Eli Manning, and frankly I respect the dude, my son ran into him last summer and Eli was pure class. May you lose, uninjured, Eli). read more

Scattered Showers Today

Low pressure center continues to swirl over north/central Mississippi, it will continue to keep spotty showers over us for today.

We continue to be a few degrees above normal for mid-December, with a high in the mid 50s. Clouds hanging around after sunset will keep overnight lows in the mid 40s. read more

Wet Day Ahead

Outdoor plans are going to be difficult today as a surface low pressure system tracks off to our south. Moisture will become amplified as the afternoon hours progress.

Here is what the HRRR thinks will happen today. Notice the pockets of heavier rain towards sunset; we may hear a rumble of thunder to two. We are not expecting anything in the way of severe weather. read more

Hey, we’ll take it, for sure! If the clouds do manage to squeeze out a few sprinkles of rain, it will be a negligible amount. read more

David, Will and I (this is Andrew) are good for each other. We’re the kind of friends that sit around and text each other at night about weather data. At 7:39 pm, David said “Feels like it’s gonna fog.” We continued by exchanging weather data numbers that would appear, to some, to be some kind of lock combination. It was a blast. read more

The precipitation is over but the cold air is sticking around. Wind chills will keep us feeling near/below freezing.

With clearing skies overnight, temperatures will fall to 20º Tuesday morning.

Add that north wind and . . . Bundle up! read more

Most of Nashville and Will Co stayed just above freezing tonight. Those in far north Nashville, and anyone at elevation, saw icing.
