Typical summer-time heat and humidity continues. High temperatures will top out near 90 degrees Monday and 92 on Tuesday. Dew points will be in the mid and upper 60s which will make it feel a bit sticky out there this afternoon. read more

Afternoon Rain & Storms (& A Tip on Using RadarScope To Detect Massive Water Balloons)

ETAs

No specific reliable ETAs due to model uncertainty and storm setup. But we have an idea: around 1 PM to 5 PM.

  • Rain and storm activity should “increase substantially late this morning, peaking mid to late afternoon.” (NWS-Nashville).
  • The HRRR model expects thunderstorms to develop to our NW just after lunch then swing through Nashville and Williamson County between 1 and 5 PM:

  • The NAM3 model predicts storms will develop later in the afternoon, creating a small amount of forecast uncertainty.
  • New weather balloon data is not yet in. That data provides a temperature at which storms should form. Yesterday that temperature was in the mid-80°s, which we reached mid-afternoon. I bet that happens again today. Today before 8 AM temps were low 70°s and rising. We should hit mid 80°s around lunchtime, so I am leaning toward the 1 PM to 5 PM ETA for all storm activity.
  • NWS-Nashville is confident we will see some rain and storms so factor that into your plans. They think rain is likely around 1 PM and very likely around 4 PM for Nashville and Williamson County.

Flexible plans recommended in case that changes. If you don’t think it may change, welcome to Nashville! You must be new. read more

The end of our work week is going to be a wet one for some of us. Isolated to scattered pop-up storms will be possible this afternoon, mainly after 3PM. Not all of us will see rain, but a few of us could potentially see a couple downpours by the time the evening rolls around. read more

Rain Chances Through the Weekend

Thursday

A pretty typical summer afternoon ahead for us today in Middle Tennessee. We’ll start off the first day of August with near normal temperatures, capping at 89° for the high, and of course, the humidity will play a factor in how it actually feels outside. Dewpoint values will be upper 60s as we progress into the afternoon. read more
