Few Thanksgivings in recent memory have been as nice weather-wise as yesterday. With a high of 61°, it was perfect for David’s Turkey Bowl, which he described yesterday.
So, every year I aim to leave 30% of the plate visible once I load it up with food. Each year I fail miserably. The problem is this: Once 70% of the plate is full, there’s still 30% of the buffet remaining left to visit. It’s simple math. But, that was yesterday. This is today.
Turkey Bowls will be windy tomorrow.
Turkey Bowl is where you play touch football with family and/or friends, dads and moms included, until:
Not expecting to get below freezing Friday morning, so hopefully shoppers encounter no freezing fog. High 60°.
A nice warm-up is underway today with sunny skies and a high temp forecast at 52°. Tonight, we fall to 33°.
High pressure is our main weather driver this holiday week. Drier conditions with warming temperatures will follow suit through tomorrow.
It’s overcast, so says the orbiting satellite GOES 16 and any two eyeballs pointed up. Clouds are dissipating over central Missouri, signaling cold, dry air creeping south and closer to us.
We should see a break in the cloud cover late this afternoon as dry air arrives.
After a stellar weekend, a weak cold front (Editor’s Note: expertly drawn by Alex) is beginning to drop into Nashville, bring some isolated showers with it for the next several hours. These light showers will progress eastward as the day rolls on; not much in the way of rain is expected. No big deal if you forgot an umbrella or you left it you don’t know where.
One year ago today, at 4:31 PM, a 200 yard wide EF-0 tornado touched down just north of I-24 in Joelton. It ran parallel to the interstate for 2.34 miles with no injuries. Twenty-two minutes later another tornado touched down at the Villages of Long Hunter subdivision in Antioch, crossed Percy Priest Lake and churned 10.93 miles into an EF-1. No injuries, but there was property damage.
Patchy freezing fog, locally dense, is expected to continue through the mid morning hours today. Some bridges and overpasses may be slick. Black ice may have formed on some area roadways. Take caution as you head out this morning.
Today is the rebound day! The bitter cold is coming to an end (for now…). A high pressure is beginning to build in across middle Tennessee bringing calm weather with it.
It’s influence on Nashville will remain noticeable through the weekend. Temperatures are going to be on the upswing through most of the weekend. These temperatures will be more seasonable for this time of year.
If you were dreaming of a snow-covered wintry day, models just don’t agree. One thing models do agree on is that the cold stuff will likely all fall to the north of us. We could see a rogue flurry throughout the day – nothing that will cause any problems.
Today is the day everyone has been waiting for. Is it going to snow?!
The short answer: it’s looking a lot less likely than what we have been seeing in the previous model runs leading up to this event. Before that threat, let’s get through today first.
