Not much in the way of rain for the next 7 days. Each day carries a very small chance of some, you’d be very lucky (or unlucky) if you got some.
Temps slowly increase into the mid 90’s by midweek and heat index values will be from 100° – 105°. This is justtt below Heat Advisory criteria, but doesn’t mean it should be taken any less seriously. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water.
Today will be the best day out of the next seven. Lowest humidity, dry, lots of sun. Great day for some soccer (or fútbol).
After today, we stay dry (probably, very unlikely but a stray shower or storm can’t totally be ruled out), but humidity increases and temps will feel like mid to upper 90’s the rest of the week. Typical for late July.
We yet again have chances for severe weather and flash flooding today.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked us with a:
Additionally, the Flood Watch that was originally set to expire at noon has been extended until 6pm. “Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible…” Head on a swivel, especially if you live in a flood-prone area. Turn around, don’t drown.
9PM UPDATE
Things have changed a little since this morning. Both counties will be under a Flood Watch from midnight tonight until noon Thursday. 1-3″ of additional rain is possible, with a few pockets containing heavier rain possible. Rain may begin as early as the wee-hours of Thursday morning and continue until Thursday afternoon.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked us with the following probabilities, all within 25 miles.
Additionally, the Weather Prediction Center has outlooked the majority of our counties with “at least 40%” of flash flooding occurring within 25 miles, with the rest of us with “at least 15%” also within 25 miles.
Smoke from wildfires in Canada has made its way down here and caused some hazy conditions.
This looks more like a scene from an apocalypse movie, but nope, it’s Nashville.
This haze and smoke will linger, leaving us with an Air Quality Alert today. Take it easy if you have respiratory issues. Smoke will clear by Tuesday.
Today will be the only guaranteed dry day of the week, albeit chances the rest of the week will be fairly low.
HRRR model (above) shows a line of broken showers/storms moving thru the area tomorrow afternoon. No severe weather expected, but a few storms could be on the stronger side with some gusty winds. When thunder roars, go indoors.
