Heavy rain is ending, but it’s not over. Most areas along and north of I-40 got 2″ to 3″.
2" to 3" of rain estimated by radar last 12 hours along and north of I-40. Rain slacking off now. Blue arrows depict approach of a cold front. It's 67° now at BNA, expecting upper 50°s before/around dark with arrival of Jerk North Wind. pic.twitter.com/jgz9kJ14So
Rain hasn’t been terribly heavy today. As of 3:12 pm, radar estimates most of us have received under a 1/2 inch . Blue indicates 1/2 to 1 inch. That doesn’t include many of us…just Joeltinians/Joeltonites. Someone fill us in on what you’re called if you’re from Joelton. We shouldn’t have started guessing, but since we’re here, help.
Overnight lows in the mid 50s.
Latest HRRR shows rain starting about 9 PM. Rain showers on and off all night with warm front lifting through the Midstate.
Rain off and on all afternoon/early evening. Winds coming from the south sustained at 10 MPH, gusting stronger than that at times (near 20 MPH). Winning the toss key. Temps mid/upper 60s. Birds hate this weather.
Mostly clear skies can be found statewide. We should remain mostly cloudless throughout the day before an upper level pulse scatters showers our way this evening.
Some scattered showers will quickly push through late tonight. Greater chances can be found to the north, decreasing as you go south.
Temps dropped overnight with cold front passage. The front also scoured out summertime humidity.
BNA recorded the drop:
In 12 hours the temp dropped 15° (74° to 59°) and the dewpoint dropped 19° (71° to 52°). #ColdFront #GoodbyeSummer pic.twitter.com/9ESIhcN9Tg
Hurricane Michael strengthened to a category 2 hurricane overnight. It’s still expected to reach Category 3 (major hurricane) status before pushing inland tomorrow.
A cold front from the west will act to guide this storm up and out of the gulf, turning it to the northeast. As seen here on the NHC’s updated track, Michael should miss us all together.
FINALLY! Relief is in sight. But first, we need to get through the early part of this work week.
Temperatures today will again reach the upper 80º range. Looking at a high temperature of 88º in Nashville, with dewpoints in the upper 60ºs through much of the day. Isolated showers and storms will remain possible. However, not everyone will see them.
