Storms are possible throughout the day, but it’s unlikely to turn into anything meaningful. Despite the clip art below, the bigger story is the heat.
High 90’s possible all day Saturday. Slight lower temp and storm chance on Sunday and Monday. The good news is most of us will experience a great albeit hot Labor Day weekend.
As of 2pm, BNA has already reached 101° and we may end up getting a few degrees hotter. The daily record for Aug. 28 is 103° set in 1990 – we’ll see how close we get.
Our forecast high for tomorrow is 101° – if we do get there, it’ll be the first time since July 2012 that BNA has reached 100° three consecutive days.
Today is the first of potentially 3 consecutive days of reaching 100°. BNA has already gotten there today.
High temperatures are expected to get to 102° Wednesday and 101° Thursday.
If we do end up reaching at least 100° in these 3 consecutive days, it’ll be the longest such streak since 2012, when we reached 100° 4 days in a row from June 28 – July, and then 5 days in a row from July 4 – July 8.
So far today our high temperature has been 99° at BNA and is expected to get into the triple digits over the next several days.
However, our saving grace will be dewpoints – only expected to be in the low to mid 50s, which will keep the heat index value very close to what the actual air temperature is. Regardless, it’ll still be hot – but it could be worse!
