Haze, Heat, & About Fiona

Wildfire haze should slightly dim clear skies. Those are controlled burns south.

Heat without bad humidity will build into next week when the heat index (what it “feels like”) might approach 100°. read more

When Will We Fall Down?

It’s been a great weather week. Well, the good times never stay. And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away.

Fall begins at 803 PM in one week (September 22) so you’d expect temps to be easing on down into Autumn range, but, no. read more

Gonna Get A Bit Toasty, But Still Boring.

Boring is good.

A ridge is an elongated area of high pressure. We’ll have one for a while. That means

  • No rain for at least the next 7 days, maybe longer.
  • Temps gradually warming each day, #StillSummer
  • Reasonable, borderline comfortable humidity. Surface winds aren’t pumping that Gulf of Mexico humidity in here, keeping the swampy away.

We will still sweat.

When will the heat break?

Models disagree (shocking, I know).

Euro (below) thinks late next week (Friday the 23rd), the first full day of Fall! read more

Press Conference.

I will now take questions.

How Long Will We Ride This Lower Humidity? read more

Nothing To See Here

Pack A Poncho for the Titans game, but ... some encouraging data?

The HRRR model isn’t exactly sure what will happen this afternoon but the latest HRRR model run wants football.

HRRR Model Noon – 3 PM, tailgating off/on rain with a few lightning strikes possible: read more

Poncho Weekend Leads To A Dry Week Ahead

Ongoing showers looks to wane away at some point this afternoon, as shown by the HRRR model below.

HRRR model thinks it is possible that more showers develop this afternoon. Unsure if this will actually happen, but even if it does, they look very scattered in nature, and you may stay dry. Looks as if evening plans are good to go but having rain gear close by for the NSC game or other activities wouldn’t be a horrible idea. read more

Rain Chances + Humidity Have Returned For The Weekend

Mother nature thought one day of nice weather was all we deserved, as dewpoints creep back up into the mid 60s.

Rain chances are a thing today, but the HRRR thinks most of us end up dry today. If the model is right, Friday night football looks good to go. read more
