Locate Your Jacket. You’ll Need It Tuesday Morning.

Summary

This morning, NWS-Nashville wrote:

Today will be the last day of above-average temperatures for the week.

Then this:

As of the current forecast, today`s high of around 93 will be the last time Nashville will see above 80 until next Saturday.

Sunday 

One more day of summer weather.

Same as it was yesterday. Hot. Some humidity, but not oppressive humidity.

No models show rain, which makes meteorological sense because high pressure is in charge, pushing away any rain chances. That high pressure will be out of here tomorrow. read more

Little More HOT, Lots Cooler Next Week

Current Radar

Tonight: Warm, Mostly Clear Skies – 80º by 8PM

Not too bad for a September night. Again, much like last night, where it’s probably not bonfire material yet. Temps will fall through the 70s after dark sets in.

Sunday: Need More Vitamin D? Sunny Again! – Early 66° High 92°

Certainly not very good for the vampires out there. Temperatures during the afternoon will reach the lower 90s again, and we will introduce a slight uptick in humidity levels. This may push the “feels like” temperature into the middle and upper 90s, but either way, it’ll be plain hot. read more

No Weather Spoilers This Weekend, Hot and Dry

Current Radar

Tonight: Mostly Clear, 70s for Mid-Evening Temps

I know it’s “technically fall”, but I don’t know if this is campfire weather quite yet.

Regardless, it will be a nice evening to be out and about! Temperatures will meander into the upper 70s by 8-9pm. read more

Upper Level Ridge Remains in Place, Sunny Skies For Us

Current Radar

Tonight: Clear Skies – 9 PM 77°

Your Thursday night plans look to be in the clear and so will the skies. Another great night in store for Middle TN with temps falling into the upper 70s by 9 PM before heading down into the upper 60s overnight. read more

Temps Still in the 90s, More Sunshine on the Way

Current Radar

Tonight: Clear Skies –  76° by 9 PM

Nothing but clear skies as we head into our Wednesday Evening. Perfect night to look at the stars if you are into that sort of thing.

Temps will fall pretty quickly once the sun sets, reaching the mid 70s by 9 PM before heading down into the mid 60s overnight. read more

Under (High) Pressure, Whole Week is Sunny and Dry

Current Radar

Tonight: Gorgeous Evening, Temps In the 70s

screen-shot-2016-09-20-at-9-05-04-amscreen-shot-2016-09-20-at-9-03-06-am

The temperature/dew point grids look great for a night outdoors with temperatures in the 70s by 7pm and the dew point in the lower 60s. Humidity levels will feel nearly non-existent compared to what we’ve had.

Overnight, we’ll drop down into the lower 60s!

Wednesday: Mostly Sunny, Very Few Clouds – Wake Up 63° High 89°

sky11_centmissvly

On a scale of 0-100%, we’re only expecting about 10% cloud cover on Wednesday. This means that much of Tuesday’s weather carries over…lots of sunshine and dry air over the region will make playing (or working) outside feel more “bear”able.

Extended Outlook:

screen-shot-2016-09-20-at-8-28-58-am

No problems in regards to rain, really through the entire week/weekend. Afternoon highs will top out in the low 90s with a gradual increase in clouds later in the week.

Those attending the Pilgrimage Festival this weekend should be in good shape! As long as our system out west isn’t *magically forecasted to speed up by about 36 hours*, Saturday and Sunday look fine.

Did You Know?

Plenty of Sunshine and Dry Weather Ahead

Current Radar

Tonight: Clear Skies – 9 PM 72°

Into tonight, those marvelous weather conditions continue as we head into the evening hours. Clear skies through the night with temps dipping down into the mid 60s overnight.

Tuesday: More Sunshine – Wake Up 63° High 90°

Did you like Monday? Then you’ll like Tuesday. Expecting for much of the same as we head into tomorrow. Only difference being that our high temps could get a little warmer than on Monday. read more

Quiet Weather-Week Ahead

Rainfall totals from 7 AM Sat to 7 AM Sunday, via Cocorahs 

We may see a little rain overnight

Most of it is going south of us, but sometime before midnight, expect a little light rain to fall. The HRRR model illustrates:

Otherwise, we are shenanigan-free.

Sunny, with less humidity this week

Steady sunshine returns Monday. The dewpoint will stay in the low 60°s for more than 48 hours.

We will accept your “when’s it ever going to stop being so hot” complaints Thursday, when fall formally starts.

We’ll still get some summer weather

Looks like high pressure to our east late in the week will send us more heat and humidity for the weekend. And, yeah, there may be some rain, too. But, that’s to be determined. From NWS-Nashville:

Our next shot at rain could hold off until the end of next weekend as models are fairly consistent in showing a large upper level system pushing out of the Pacific Northwest Friday and its cold front reaching us by Sunday night or Monday of next week. However, even with the model continuity that far out, will carry only a chance probability of precipitation as this is Day 8 and things will likely change by the time we get there. read more

Rain Finally Leaving...Until Maybe Later Tonight

We got more rain overnight

Especially south of 40:

Storm Total Rain — West Williamson got the most

Again, this is likely an overestimate. We won’t know for sure until the Cocorahs data starts showing up with actual measurements.

I think the rain may be gone for today, but maybe not tonight

Rain and clouds are lined up along this purple line. This is an infrared satellite view, showing that the rain has finally moved east of us this morning: read more
