Most of this rain will fall between 7 PM Sunday and 7 AM Monday.
Rain should be mostly/completely over by lunchtime Monday.
Humid air will be swept away, as dewpoints dive from the upper 60°s to lower 50°s in about 12 hours.
This broke the old October 5 record, 92° set way back in 2018. (We tweeted a high of 94° earlier today, then we made it to 95° at 4:26 PM).
[T]oday was the 99th day of 90+ degree days. Yes, we’ll pull up just short of 100 90+ degree days and we also never got to 100 degrees on the mercury. I guess that’s little saving grace with all of the records we have broken in the last month.
Saturday’s high is 90°, two degrees shy of the October 5 record from 2018. Humidity will increase through the day.
Kinda summery Saturday night ahead of our first real rain event in weeks. Few models even want to pop off a few showers, IDK, maybe that’ll happen but nah. Will check this again in the AM but I’m unimpressed.
LOGO. Same concept, better logo.
SHOP. To help support @NashSevereWx, we are selling shirts (choose supersoft or sturdy), a hat, and comfy hoodies with our logo. Limited supply. We’re not putting our logo on something you’ll hate. We got a great t-shirt team. Products will be simple, not obnoxious. We’re taking orders now, and will fill them in a few weeks. These shirts make @NashSevereWx ad free and pay our bills.

Thursday: hot and dry… again. How hot? Well, we’ve already broken the 116 year old record for today, which was 92°. This graphic from the pre-dawn hours gave us a forecast high of 97°. NWS is now thinking 99° at BNA with even the possibility of….well, you know…
Dewpoints will be in the lower-60s. Not bad but still a little humid.
We finally drop below 90° Friday, though a ridge returns Saturday bringing us back into the 90s. Good news?
“However, that should be the last day of afternoon high temps 90 or above for the considerable future.” @NWS-Nashville
Expect to hit into the upper 90°s for our high today. Dew points in the low to mid 60°s.
No rain chances until late weekend.
NWS-Nashville has more info:
Yesterday, new record high temps for Oct itself were established at the Nashville International Airport: 98 degrees and at the Crossville Airport: 91 degrees. Like I have done the last couple of mornings, broke out a climate section below with the “hot temp specifics”. Along with record high temps for a couple more days, the possiblity also of recored warmest low temp values being set tonight for certain locations across mid state region. Please, like previous days, continue heat safety precautions thru at least thru Thu afternoon, especially if you have to work or be outside for any extended periods of time.
