NWS Nashville

Back in 1982 on this day, Nashville warmed up to a record 75°. Will we see that today? Not quite, as we’re more on the order of 20° cooler than that record. 

Rain Free? Not For Long

The NAM (North American Model) above handles tomorrow’s rain event fairly well. Late Wednesday evening, a piece of atmospheric energy will approach us from the west, setting off a few showers and storms. Activity continues through the overnight hours into Thursday’s AM rush hour, but by then is already pushing east. read more

Rain On The Way … Still A Bit Windy

If you’ve been outside today, then you have felt the warm, muggy air that is present and setting up just ahead of tonight’s cold front that is expected to pass through overnight.

Winds have stayed around the 15 mph and we’ve seen a few strong gusts here and there. We expect this to continue until the cold front moves through. read more

Even “Warmest Christmas on Record” is a Lying Statistic

OK, so before today, the record high temp for Christmas was 73° set in 1889.

We hit 76° at 1:59 PM, the warmest temperature ever recorded on Christmas Day in Nashville (dating back 127 years).

So does that make today the “warmest Christmas Day ever recorded?” read more

Last Night’s Rain is Gone

It is lifting north and east of us with the warm front.

Record Warm Christmas?

The record high temp for Christmas is 73° set in 1889, the year Coca-Cola was incorporated

This morning, a warm front has arrived from the south. South winds and breaks in the clouds should heat us up to 73°. read more

Up On the Housetop, Raindrops Fall

Merry Christmas Eve and an equally happy start to Hanukkah for all who celebrate. We won’t start out dry, unfortunately, as a super-soaking rainmaker is slowly traversing middle Tennessee today.

Oh, Cloudy Day

A rain maker is already moving through the Missouri valley and will eventually reach us by early Saturday morning.

The HRRR model has a good handle on this through the evening:

Rain On Christmas Eve, No Snow

Tree tops will glisten and children can still listen for sleigh bells in the rain. I’ll be dreaming of another white Christmas for next year. read more

Drought Index Update

We have great news today as a new drought index was released this morning.

We have been downgraded from a severe drought to a moderate drought. We still are not in the clear of our drought issues, but we are making slow steps in the right direction. read more

Some Clouds & Some Sun To End The Work Week

Well today officially marks the beginning of astronomical winter! Today will also be the shortest day of the year, as our days will begin to increase in duration through the summer solstice.

Other than that, the remainder of the week will remain fairly quiet. read more

Surprise! Snow Flurries End Late Morning

Weather is an interesting phenomenon and interesting it was this morning. Just enough energy and available moisture have combined to produce a light dusting in middle Tennessee…all of this falling below the scope of radar where we would normally see it. read more

 Boring & Dry the Rest of the Week

To start, you may need to bundle up as you head out the door tomorrow morning. High temps will finally be in the 40s, but temps will be in the teens and 20s until about 10 AM.

After our fairly active weather pattern we have seen over the past few weeks, this week appears to be mainly dry with temps generally just below average for the time of year. read more
