Low clouds and light pockets of rain are going to be the story of the day.
The low-pressure system that brought us the rain yesterday (or lack thereof), is moving up the eastern seaboard and bring the rain with it. In the words of NWS-Nashville, it will be “gloomy and drippy” today, highs in the 50s.
Latest HRRR shows steady rain for Williamson and Davidson counties during the overnight hours. Rain slackens and becomes scattered by your Friday morning commute.
New HRRR rain totals have Nashville receiving 0.4″ overnight.
Today will be our last quiet day weather-wise before clouds and rain move in for an extended stay. Highs today should be mainly in the middle to upper 60s.
We are still watching what is now the remnants of Hurricane Willa over Mexico. What’s left of that system will redevelop into a surface low-pressure system that will track eastward along the Gulf coast Thursday and Thursday night.
Some high cirrus clouds are sweeping through the Nashville sky this morning, as seen on the GOES 16 visible imagery above. These are reaching out ahead of a dry cold front expected to pass through today.
Tonight will be several degrees warmer with lows dipping to around 40 degrees. By Tuesday morning a weak dry front will dip into the mid state, but will really only bring a change in wind direction. Temperatures are expected to rise into the mid to upper 60s by the afternoon hours making for a pleasant fall day. Wednesday will see similar conditions as light northerly winds and mostly sunny skies continue.
Well, we were just about freezing this morning! Literally!
We got down to 34º at Nashville International Airport. Just 2º shy of reaching the freezing mark. Many local areas did hit freezing, as recorded by personal weather stations.
Locate your windshield scraper. You’ll probably need that scraper.
Also cover plants you don’t want freezing temps to kill.
The low is 33° at BNA, 2° colder than last night. Local areas should be colder. Frost is likely with light winds.
Cover or shelter loved plants and locate your windshield scraper.
It was a blast of reinforcing cold northern air. During the 10 PM hour winds hit 35 MPH at BNA. They relaxed after midnight and colder air raced in. BNA hit 35° before sunrise.
Frost Advisory for Nashville. 33° to 36°. Sheltered and low-lying areas may see frost producing temperatures for at least a few hours prior to sunrise Sunday. A Frost Advisory means that widespread frost is expected. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered.
We’ve made it to Friday! Much of the day will be clear with temperatures in the mid to upper-60s. Clouds will being funneling in later this afternoon in advance of a cold front that is set to come through tomorrow. With those clouds, come rain chances.
