GOES 16 Visible Imagery Loop
A few high clouds will stream across middle Tennessee today, but overall, a beautiful day is in store for the second weekend in November. Temperatures will near the 60ºF for most places, especially in and around downtown.
We will likely see some of the coldest temps we’ve seen so far this season. If you have any outdoor plans or will be outside at any point tonight, especially after sunset, you are going to want a good, big jacket.
That’s right, finally! Limited cloud cover will carry us through the first half of the Veterans Day weekend before rain chances move in. The pattern of off-again-on-again cold temperatures is expected to continue, with another cold front (albeit without rain) passing through tonight. While afternoon temperatures today reach into the lower 60s, tomorrow’s afternoon temperatures will be ~ 10ºF cooler.
Chilly day in store for us with highs only expected to reach the low to mid 50s. Today will remain somewhat gloomy with a blanket of clouds draped across much of our area.

There is some hope that these clouds may clear somewhat to our north into this afternoon. If this happens, expect for our high temps to creep up a bit more.
UPDATED Latest HRRR Loop
After a 1.0″-4.5″ overnight last night, more rain chances return tonight thanks to a shortwave traversing the Tennessee Valley. Light-moderate rain will be possible, but nothing like what we saw 12 hours ago.
A blanket of clouds continue to stretch over all of our area. Expect for these clouds to hang around throughout the entire day.
You may notice some more robust clouds currently in Arkansas; this is what will be moving our way later today bringing more showers and some thunderstorms.
This afternoon we tied the record high temp for November 5, 82 set in 1975.
Meanwhile, severe weather has been ongoing in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana this afternoon, fueled there by a cold front.
That cold front will approach tonight.
One week ago we faced a Frost Advisory. Today, this.
Today clouds and sun, high 81°, very humid (especially for November, dewpoint 65°!), and very windy this afternoon, south wind sustained ~ 16 MPH gusting to 28 MPH. Rain likely to start around midnight.
Temperatures this morning are quite warm for the beginning of November in Nashville. A renewed surge of even warmer air is expected to start today, thanks to southerly surface winds. It may feel like a distant memory after our couple of recent cold spells, but a muggy “Gulf of Mexico airmass” will move north, back into Tennessee, for the weekend and part of next week.
So far, nothing has developed this afternoon to sound off any rain alarms. That said, there is still a chance of showers developing through the afternoon into the early evening thanks to the abundance of moisture and a weak front moving towards us. Models aren’t showing anything along this front, but if we do end up seeing rain this afternoon/evening it would be because of this.
