Sunday, humidity will rise a bit (not too bad). Mid-level moisture blowing off the top of Harvey (centered now in Victoria, Texas) may sneak in some clouds and shower, but no model really thinks it’ll rain enough to bother outdoor plans. It probably won’t rain at all, but don’t be surprised if we get a little.
Canada is good for bacon, hockey, and lots of other things…including high pressure!
West-northwesterly flow, thanks to the Canadian high, will continue to filter in through the remainder of this weekend. Dry conditions will prevail, with sunshine bumping afternoon temperatures Sunday into the upper 80s. Overnight lows will be a bit cool, hovering in the low to mid 60s.
Things really can’t get any better than this for Middle Tennessee as we near the end of August. Highs in the mid 80s, dew point temps in the mid to upper 50s, and no rain chances over the next few days.
What more could you ask for in late August? We can thank northwesterly flow aloft for this drier, cooler pattern. The GFS, among most other models, agree that this great weather stretch will last through a portion of Sunday:
Say goodbye to those highs in the 90s and say hello to cooler and drier temps over the next several days. Following yesterday’s cold front, expect for highs to only reach the low to mid 80s now through the weekend.
How do afternoon highs in the mid 80s sound? We have had our fair share of hot and humid days, but luckily a few cold fronts, like the one moving through tonight, have provided relief throughout the summer. High pressure is also going to be the headline, at least through Saturday.
Seems like we’ve been waiting for this eclipse for quite some time now, but it already come and gone. Here are just some of the amazing pictures we have received this afternoon.

And just like that August 21, 2017 is finally here.
To answer the question “will a cloud be overhead during totality at my location”, the answer is we do not know. We cannot say whether a cloud will be at a certain location at a certain time. However, this is what we do know about the cloud factor for today.

Once upon a time we were worried of rain, now we’re only watching for clouds.
A pretty fantastic weekend is in store for Middle Tennessee with highs in the low 90s. Dew point temps will remain in the low 70s.
Sounds like a great weekend to be outside or to take a jump in the pool if you ask me!
