Good End to January, Even Better Start to February
Twas a chilly day, but at least it was a dry one.
As we turn the page to February, we’ll be greeted with mild high temperatures and dry weather. High temps near 60° tomorrow and getting into the low 60s Friday and Saturday. Kinda weather when you’ll need a jacket in the morning, then have to carry it in the afternoon.
Nice Warm Up Coming
A “cold” front pushed thru earlier and brought some of us a few quick, light showers. A few more showers are possible the remainder of the night, but we’ll be dry for the most part.
Rest of the work week will be dry, gradually warming up throughout the week. Even getting up into the low to mid 60s by Friday + Saturday.
Not Much Except Maybe Some Sprinkles Tuesday PM
Chili Nights, Clipper System Tuesday Only Possible Minor Inconvenience This Week
Maybe A Strong Storm This Afternoon, Calm Week Ahead
Some showers currently moving thru, looks like we may get a small break before some more rain and maybe a strong storm?
HRRR model (above) shows an ETA of ~3 or 4 pm for some heavier rain, and maybe some storms. One or two storms could be on the stronger side with some gusty winds. We’ll keep an eye out, stay connected this afternoon.
One More Rainy Day Before A Nice Break
Dry Friday, Wet Saturday, Then Calmer Weather
More Manageable Rain Thursday + Saturday
Rain Expected to be “Manageable” Throughout the Week
We’ve received a little rain today, not much, but there’s more to come.
- 2 – 3″ of rain is expected thru Saturday
- majority of the rain will fall Wednesday
- we are excluded from the Flood Watch (heaviest rain expected to stay to our south)
- “Areas north of the Flood Watch could see nuisance flooding issues, but the total rainfall amounts over that area are expected to be manageable…” – NWS Nashville
- no severe weather expected, some thunder possible
Timing:
We should remain dry thru the rest of today, maybe a scattered shower or two.
HRRR model (above) shows some rain arriving Wednesday morning, with the bulk of it coming Wednesday afternoon. Some more rain should swing around Thursday morning. Timestamp is in the upper left corner.
