That Smoky, Smelly Haze

This hi-res satellite photo shows the haze that set in today.

Special Weather Statement issued this afternoon by NWS-Nashville:

Smoke associated with ongoing fires across eastern Kentucky…eastern Tennessee…northern Georgia…and western north Carolina has settled in across middle Tennessee today…resulting in hazy skies and a smoky smell to the air. The smoke will likely continue to impact the mid-state overnight…but conditions are expected to improve considerably by Monday morning as winds shift more to the southwest. The smoke could pose some problems for the elderly…young children…active adults…and those with respiratory issues. To minimize health problems…limit your exposure to the smoke or wear a mask if you have to be outside for an extended period of time. read more

Is It Going To Rain Today?

No.

It’ll all be southeast of us.

Instead, how about some 60°s, and a light breeze today? Light winds, a few clouds, great Titans weather.

No cloud cover expected for Supermoon viewing tonight. read more

Tonight: Here Comes A Cold Front, More Showers Possible

Update: An approaching cold front will sweep through the mid-state overnight with enough moisture to *possibly* wring out a little more rain (no more than an additional 0.10″). The only issue is that there is dry air and it has tended to keep much of the rain from reaching the ground today. read more

Fair weather evening in store for us. Clouds will continue to hang around through the evening, so no star gazing tonight.
