First things first, we broke a long-standing record this morning for the record low temperature on September 8th.

Let’s start with the NWS Nashville’s AM discussion, there really isn’t a better way to put how the next few days will be:
With yesterday`s showers and scattered thunderstorms just a distant memory, there really isn`t a whole lot to talk about in this morning`s forecast package. We continue to monitor the behemoth Irma and her monster winds in the Atlantic and what she could bring to Middle TN, but the bulk of this morning`s discussion is going to revolve around unseasonably cool temperatures and a mostly dry forecast.
GFS 250mb Winds through Sunday (Jet Stream)
The beginning of this loop is today’s storm energy moving through, with a cold front behind it.
High temperatures the rest of the week will remain in the 70s, gradually warming by the weekend. Northerly flow will keep our daytime temperatures nearly 10-15 degrees below normal for this time of year. Additionally, with mostly clear skies each night, our overnight lows will be exceptionally chilly…somewhere in the low to mid 50s through next Sunday!
Early morning fog has formed around water. Fog will mix out soon as the sun does its thing, revealing a great day.
A great two days, actually. Sunday (Live on the Green) and Monday (Labor Day) will be fantastic, except for humidity rocketing back up. Dewpoints in the mid/upper 60°s today and tomorrow mean uncomfortable, hairdo ruining humidity.
