It’s still kinda humid and dry, though we will have a slight drop in high temps.
These above-average high temperatures keep pushing us closer to breaking a record:
“Still looks to reach the 90s for much of the area, with Nashville now at the #2 most 90 degree days ever in a year and inching ever closer to the all time record set in 1954.” @NWS-Nashville
Hot, unfortunately. The heat continues into the middle of the month.
High today expected to be in the upper 90°s. Dewpoints in the mid 60°s. Bleh.
Any relief coming?
NWS-Nashville:
Surface observations this morning show it`s (surprise) another warm and humid one with current readings in the 60s and 70s. Some patchy fog is noted mainly over eastern counties, and cannot rule out a few dense spots. Otherwise, another unusually hot mid September day is on tap, although at least highs look to be a degree or two below yesterday`s levels. Models continue to show a surge of slightly cooler and significantly drier air coming down the east side of the Appalachians then spreading westward into our area later today.
Just barely. We might be dealing with some dry heat instead of our typical muggy heat. Let’s check the dewpoints on the models!
High temperatures Tuesday (today) will reach 97°, but we could see a heat index up to 101°.
Dewpoint temps? Mid-60s. Not bad, but not great.
Due to a weak frontal boundary that came through yesterday evening, a few could see a shower or two, but that’s super unlikely.

Editor’s Note: this is on me. I was perusing other data sets and saw that when I said 17 before I had misread something, I’m not exactly sure what. I messed up. Below is the confirmed data. The streak is 8 days in a row:
Hot and dry with a little humidity (dewpoints in the low-60s).
The HRRR model throws in a couple tiny pop-up showers, but I wouldn’t count on rain. The high pressure over the region is working to keep us dry. This model often shows a few showers in these conditions but they rarely happen.
The story has not changed much at all. The only ‘major’ change is in the dewpoints, which are in the low 60°s.
Our high today should be in the low 90°s, with a small chance of some pop-ups this afternoon. This is due to a weak frontal boundary moving through.
Happy Friday the 13th everyone!
We’re heating all the way up to 98° this afternoon. You’re definitely going to feel it too when you step outside thanks to the dewpoint near 70.
High 96°, as humid as yesterday was, with a few late-afternoon pop-up showers and storms possible.
Below is one model, the HRRR. Pretty sure showers/storms will pop up this afternoon and last until the sun goes down. We don’t know exactly where or when, so be flexible.
You’re probably going to feel like this ice cream cone as you step outside this afternoon. Another hot and nasty day ahead of us today, high of 98°. Yes, you read that right, not a typo.
Dewpoints around 70° won’t give us any relief along with the almost triple digit air temperatures, allowing our heat index to climb above 100° this afternoon.
Very hot conditions will persist across the area this afternoon with temperatures staying around 96 degrees. Dew points are in the mid 60’s which is making it feel a tad sticky out there, with heat index readings near 100. This is not as oppressive as we have seen at times this summer, but it is still quite hot.
