Sunday – Hot & Very Humid, Storms Iffy – High Temp 94°
Our Heat Advisory has been dropped because, when we hit our high 94°, the dewpoint should be “only” 72°, which makes a heat index of 102°. You need 105° to issue a Heat Advisory.

Evening Storms, Better Rain Chances This Week
Current Radar
Tonight: Any Remaining Storms Dissipate, Humid – 9PM 83°
The heat advisory continues through 8PM tonight. Afternoon storms will continue into the evening, until the sun sets. That’s when the valve shuts off and we dry out. Temperatures will “cool” into the 80s, but with ample humidity, it will still feel a bit uncomfortable outside.
Evening Storms, Then More HOT.
Current Radar
Tonight: Leftover Storms, Still Humid – 9PM 86°
A few frog stranglers/severe storms have popped up across the area this afternoon. For updated warning information visit @NashSevereWx on Twitter, and send any storm reports to #tSpotter.
Remaining storms will dissipate by mid evening, leaving partly to mostly cloudy skies behind. Humid air will stick around, but at least the temps will be a bit cooler following the rain.

More Heat on the Way, Slight Chance of Afternoon Showers
Current Radar
Tonight: Still Pretty Hot, Clear Skies
Expecting for mostly clear skies through the overnight hours. Still have a small chance of some pop-up showers developing, but since they haven’t so far, our chances have diminished. Stick with us on Twitter @NashSevereWx for the most up to date information. We will let you know if we see any rain/storms developing.
Heat Continues On, Rain Dissipating Into the Evening
Current Radar
Tonight: Rain Clearing – Temps Stay Warm Thru the Night
And just like that those afternoon showers decided to rain on our parade. We still could see a few more pop-up storms in and around the Nashville area through the remainder of the afternoon. Main concerns with these are heavy rainfall and damaging wind gusts.
Rain Diminishes Tonight, And The Heat is On
Current Radar
Tonight: PM Storms Diminish, Muggy and Warm – 9PM 84°
Any afternoon storm development will be shutting down by sunset. Expect warm and muggy conditions this evening with temps in the mid 80s by 9PM. Abundant moisture in the air makes it more difficult to cool down, so your post-workday lounge on the porch may not be as comfortable as other nights. Even your camera phone feels the moisture-laden, soupy air.
A Series of Ridiculously Hot Days
Current Radar
Tonight: Slight Chance of Showers – Temps Into the Mid-70s
Any lingering shower from this afternoon shouldn’t last much into the evening after sunset. Partly cloudy skies should follow through the night.
The NAM 4 shows us getting some scattered showers during the late overnight hours (after midnight) but seems to be the only model with this thinking. Worth the mention, but we will wait to see what the HRRR has to say about that happening later this afternoon.
Hot Week Ahead, It’s My Turn to Write the Blog; Therefore, a Rant

Y’all. Sharknado4 comes out in 2 weeks.
Sharknado is a lot of fun. Best viewed with friends, responsibly consumed alcoholic beverages, and crazy-low expectations.
Highs Monday through Sunday: 95°, 95°, 94°, 96°, 96°, 95°, 95°. Although the GFS model has a few late week temps over 100°, the GFS model has joined the “It’ll be hot, but not that hot” movement started by the Euro model this afternoon. Maybe not over 100°. But still….
The heat & humidity combo is the bigger deal. Afternoon dewpoints will hover around 70° all week. According to this unofficial chart, we’ll end up somewhere between ruined hairdos and needing fish lungs.
