Rain-suppressing high pressure will be here today, gone tomorrow.
High temps will hit the mid 90s for Nashville, with oppressive dewpoints in the low 70s. Another hot and humid day in July.
The HRRR model (shown below) predicts afternoon downpours, but it has Williamson and Davidson Counties looking dry.
It’s Friday the 13th and an Intern broke bad by missing the “write the blog” assignment this morning which is what happens Friday, the Thirteenth and why you’re getting this at 6 PM.
A dome of high pressure has settled itself right on top of us. This will suppress rain formation and increase our high temps.
This afternoon we will hit the mid 90’s for most places around Nashville. Dewpoints will again be borderline oppressive (around the 70° mark). Heat Index values could easily reach 100°.
Early-morning clouds over over Williamson and Davidson Counties have disappeared.
Some puffy cumulus clouds are appearing over us, but they’re not blocking sunshine from reaching the surface.
High temps will reach into the low 90’s, with dewpoints remaining in the low 70s. It’s going to feel close to 100° this afternoon.
You guessed it: the typical summertime pattern today.
Pop-up showers and storms are the story of the day. A high temperature of 91º expected today in Nashville. Dew points in the low 70º range.
It is the Monday morning after a holiday week, so let’s keep this short and to the point. It is going to be hot, and it might rain.
Isolated showers and storms will be prevalent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. As typical for summer, we do not know exactly when, or exactly where.
Expect heat and humidity with pop-up afternoon/early evening showers and storms possible this week. Exactly when and where is not knowable.
Dewpoints near/above 70° announce near-oppressive humidity.
Muggy air returns today. It’ll be more humid than it was yesterday. Dewpoints near/above 70° announce near-oppressive humidity returning this week.
After cool/cloudy Saturday, today we’re back to normal: hot/humid, pop-up afternoon/early evening showers and storms possible. NWS-Nashville wrote:
Yesterday’s frontal passage left us right on the fringes between two air masses. GOES-16 Water Vapor imagery (below) does a great job showing this: dry air can be seen as the warm, orange color; moist air is the cooler, blue color.
Today’s lunchtime thunderstorm is prompting forecast changes. We thought tonight would be rainy/stormy, but it appears this big thunderstorm has taken all the fuel needed to maintain storms later today and tonight.
