Rain & Storms Tonight; A Look at the Week Ahead

Expect a cloudy week, keeping temps below 90°. Humidity remains set to “Summer.”

Rain & Storms Tonight

As I write this, storms are breaking out all over Middle Tennessee.

Look for two rounds of storms.

Round 1

Storms developing on top of us, or south of us, beginning now until Round 2 arrives. These storms should work their way north. They are not widespread and you may not see anything at all. read more

Humidity Returns, Expect Rain Tonight

Yesterday’s weather was a fall preview, it wasn’t the full length movie. Although cloud cover will keep temps in the 80°s this week, humidity is on the rise. Expect dew points in the upper 60°s this week. That’ll be sticky and gross. read more

Shower Chances Return Tomorrow through Next Week

Last Bit of Today Will Still be Pretty Great

Things really can’t get any better than they have been today for August. Temps will stay relatively cool even into the evening hours tonight.

A quick fun fact for today:

This morning we tied the record low for August 5, 58° (1974). read more

Storms Roll In and Out Today, Saturday Promises to Impress

Wowzers! Saturday is Going to Be Amazing

Low humidity (dew points in the 50s), temperatures in the low to mid 80s, and sunshine will make for a fantastic start to the weekend! I can attest to the power of this cold front…the air behind it feels and smells like fall. read more

Abundant Chances For Rain Through Next Week

Better Chances for Storms Through the Weekend

Friday

Storms are expected to be more widespread on Friday as a cold front approaches. This front will be moving through during afternoon peak-heating hours, which means a few thunderstorms could become strong to severe. Damaging winds and hail will be the most notable threats. The Storm Prediction Center has us under a 1/5 risk, or “Marginal” risk. read more

Pop-Up Afternoon Showers Tomorrow, More Showers on Friday

Some Clouds & Some Sun with Scattered Afternoon Shower Chances

Tomorrow appears to be a whole lot like today and yesterday with decent cloud coverage through a good bit of the day. Highs will be just below the 90° mark with dew point temps coasting around the mid 60s. read more

Ramping Up Rain Possibilities, Decent Temps For August

Welcome to August 2017 — the month of the Solar Eclipse!

This Week — Not a Washout, But Some Rain For the Lawns

A slight chance of a storm exists today from Davidson/Williamson Counties westward. There’s just enough moisture, apparent on this morning’s upper-air observations, to squeeze out a storm or two. Not everyone gets so lucky, but some burnt area lawns could definitely use it. read more

Decent Week Ahead, Even Better Weekend in Store

Sunny Skies, Dew Point Temps on the Rise

A pleasant evening is in store for all of Middle Tennessee with temps falling into the upper 60s overnight.

Tomorrow dew points will begin to creep back into the mid-60s range.

It won’t feel horrible out, but it also won’t feel as nice as it has been. read more

The Week Ahead: Not Too Bad!

Dry High Pressure Monday & Tuesday

Expect a cool Monday morning. 63°.

We’re going to heat back up again. High 89° Monday, 90°  Tuesday.

Humidity will rise every day this week.

Monday’s humidity will be sticky; Tuesday will be almost uncomfortable. read more

The Slow Return of Summer...Then Another Great Weekend?

Another Glorious Sunday

Breezy, low/no humidity, high 87°, sunny. Winds should top out by mid afternoon around 10 MPH. Probably not enough to support a kite.

Little Hotter, Little More Humid Monday

But first, another cool morning! 63°!!!!

https://twitter.com/ChrisMartin17/status/891645871938568192

Totally agree.

High 89°.

Dewpoints will climb out of the 50°s and settle into the low 60°s.

And a Little Hotter & More Humid Tuesday

Another kinda-cool morning, 66°, then up to 90° by mid-afternoon.

Rising humidity, with dewpoints approaching 65°.

No rain is expected through Tuesday.

Pattern Change Begins Wednesday

Goodbye cool mornings.

The dewpoint will creep into the upper 60°s (“uncomfortable” range), and with that comes maybe an afternoon/early evening pop-up shower or storm. Wednesday is outside the range of the short-range models, leaving us with little/no additional information about whether it will rain on us (Davidson and/or Williamson Counties) or other parts of Middle Tennessee. No severe weather is expected.

Shortwave Thursday Bringing Rain Chances

What’s a shortwave?

Yes, that. Also this:

Also known as Shortwave Trough; a disturbance in the mid or upper part of the atmosphere which induces upward motion ahead of it. If other conditions are favorable, the upward motion can contribute to thunderstorm development ahead of a shortwave. read more
