We are currently under a Flash Flood Warning for Davidson County from the NWS for this afternoon until 12:30CDT. Some areas have already seen over 2″ of rain and will see more over the next few hours. If you’re out and about remember NOT to drive through standing water and to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” Keep following our twitter for more updates on the Flash Flood.
The story for the next five days – rain, rain, and more rain.
Dewpoints yesterday skyrocketed. You could almost drown by breathing in the air – well not really, but definitely felt like it.
Editor’s Note: many have stuff going on at specific times beginning tonight thru the weekend. A show. Cookout. Baseball game. Walking outside to tell your neighbor’s dog to shut up. Golf tournament. Also I heard there is a big fest downtown.
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.
June returns Tuesday.
Humidity increases – although still pretty comfy – but the high climbs to 90°.
A few earlier model runs had light rain trying to sneak in here Tuesday afternoon.
Like this one:
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:
This dewpoint chart shows how muggy it feels out there, with today feeling sticky. Not too bad.
Less humidity Friday. High only 83°!
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.
Late morning rain is coming in now for those along and north of I-40. We are tweeting about that.
Later today there is a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms. NWS-Nashville mentions the possibility for a few strong storms this afternoon:
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.
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.
