Scattered showers and thunderstorms will arrive by about 1 PM. We’ll see these on and off throughout the afternoon until it finally picks up and moves to the east before midnight.

Scattered Afternoon Rain, and OMG It’s Humid Today

An enjoyable morning will set the stage for thunderstorm activity to pick up throughout the day.

The HRRR shows scattered showers mostly missing Williamson/Davidson this afternoon, but I’m not taking the model’s word for it. With the moisture in the air + afternoon heating, I expect more showers to pop up. Some may be in your backyard, some may not. read more

Storms will use very humid air to make rain and storms today through the weekend. Humidity relief arrives Tuesday of next week.

Tuesday

It’s going to be hot.

August heat and humidity…

Low 90s for temps and low 70s for dew points means dangerous heat indices. HRRR Model is very bullish with a max heat index of 103.

Upper 90s to around 100 appear very likely. Limit time outside during the peak heating hours and check the backseat!! read more

A Tolerable Form of “Hot” on Saturday

Hear me out. It *sounds* hot outside today! It’s 10 am and the cicadas are already out chirping in full force.

Few clouds out this morning to provide relief from the sun. Today will be the first August day of this year to surpass 90º. That’s not very “on brand” for 2020, but I’m not complaining! Lucky for us, our dew points are still hanging out right around 65º. Hence, the “pleasant” heat. read more
