1. One Last Shot of Rain/Storms. By mid afternoon, the cold front had crossed the Ohio River, reached the Kentucky side of the Land Between the Lakes, and continued its march our way. The cold front is setting off rain showers and a few thunderstorms ahead of the front. Strong winds and lightning are the main concern; otherwise, there isn’t much to this.
Yet again, the weather is throwing two punches at us during a holiday: early morning, late afternoon/early evening. Neither is certain.
Monday Morning – First Punch
“The main trough axis will inch closer to Middle Tennessee overnight, with scattered showers and storms occurring mainly during the 06z-12z period.” (NWS Area Forecast Discussion, 135 pm CDT Sun Sep 1 2013).
Sunday & Monday
Overview. A series of shortwaves (rain/storms) will be diving NW to SE Sunday & Monday. Monday night, a cold-front will sweep the rain and humidity.
Temps. Monday should be a bit cooler than Sunday. Outside the pockets of rain/storm activity, temps will be in the mid 90s Sunday, and low 90s Monday. The heat index will be dancing around the mid to upper 90s Sunday, and in the low 90s Monday.
Mother Nature* knows that College FOOTBAW (Editor’s Note: this misspelling appears to be intentional; draw your own inferences) season has begun. It just wouldn’t be tailgating for the opening game of the season if we didn’t burn ourselves to a crisp like those brats/hotdogs/hamburgers/bacon wrapped jalepenos filled with cream cheese (ya buddy).
Tonight – Clear – High 91
Y’all, I just about melted today! It was too HOT for recording stadium construction for my advanced TV production class, which required walking around campus all day. I was in Canada earlier this Summer and was really spoiled with the “Summer weather” or … I mean … umm … Fall weather. Thanks, “Death Ridge.”
