A pretty mild and dry afternoon approaching with our high temperature in the mid-80s.
It’ll feel warmer, though, with those dewpoint temperatures projected to hang out in the upper 60s today.
A chance for isolated showers is forecast for the southern region of the state. Most of the activity will stay mainly south of us, along the Tennessee and Alabama border this afternoon.
That’s what we’re going to be looking at for much of the day today.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for the area through 7 pm. Anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain is expected to fall, but some areas could see locally higher amounts.
A front that’s currently located over the Tennessee Valley region will move north this afternoon, increasing our rain chances.
See how we are sandwiched between the stationary front (red and blue patterned front) and the warm front (red patterned front)? That means we are in the warm and rainy sector of this frontal system.
TGIF! This morning we are starting out with sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70’s.
By the mid afternoon hours those temperatures will get into the low 90’s.
There is a slight chance for showers later this evening between 5pm and 8pm. Anything that may pop up will be very isolated and short lived.
A non-Zoo tiger is loose in Knoxville, parts of hurricane hit Louisiana remain without power, and check out the smoke covering large parts of Oregon and California.
Things aren’t so bad here.
Plenty of sunshine Thursday with a high around 91. The rain will be way east of us.
Temps will be near 91° with plenty of sunshine!
It will feel a little sticky outside today. Mid 60s dewpoints.
A frontal boundary will be moving south of us Thursday, sparking some showers and storms mainly south and east of us.
Full supply of sunshine today with temps around 92.
You might feel a little stickiness with dew points in the low 60s but nothing too unbearable.
Clear conditions tonight with a low of 67.
No change to the “warm and dry” part of the forecast with a high of 91. Humidity, however, will be a bit higher with dew points in the mid to upper 60s.
Slight uptick in humidity Monday but still comfortable. High of 90 with no rain.
Clear skies tonight with lows in the mid 60s.
Maybe a touch more humid with another high at 90. No rain again.
Upper-level ridging will make it very hard to get deep moisture in here, NWS Nashville notes:
Editor’s Note: Check out Denver.
Last week we suffered through 70° dewpoints. It’ll get more humid this week, but not expecting 70° dewpoints.
We’ll max out in the upper 80s this afternoon. Little humidity so not running high 90s heat index values!! Our dewpoints this morning hung out in the 60s and will make their way down to the 50 degree mark by the afternoon.
In less than 24 hours, that’s how far the dew points have fallen.
You may have woken up this morning, stepped outside, and realized you weren’t immediately sweating. Dew points are around 53° this morning, making it feel SO nice out!
