More Record Heat? Yeah, Probably.

Today. The record for October 30 is 84°, set in 1950. We’re forecast to hit 85°, but that may not happen as a weak trough moves our way, lowering the humidity and denting our heat-building high pressure dome just enough to maybe keep us below 85°. Still, that hot.

A weak trough is anticipated to move across middle TN overnight, bringing an increase in moisture…but not by much. Some cloud development may occur with the uptick in humidity, but no rain is forecast.

Are you planning on seeing some competitive high school football tonight? If so, you’re in for a treat.

Another fantastic evening to follow our fair weather day. Clouds will build back in a bit from the afternoon. Temps for the evening will fall pretty steadily through the 70s into the low 60s by 9PM.

Clouds will be increasing as we head into the evening hours. That small chance of rain lingers around, but most models suggest that the best chances (still only a 20% probability) will not arrive until the overnight hours.

A steady drop through the 60s tonight will feel rather comfortable. If you’re headed out for a prolonged period of time this evening, a jacket might be nice.

Warmer for Wednesday, and we even have a slight chance of rain! Well…

A pleasant evening to follow our pleasant day expected for us tonight. All outdoor plans are a go; you may want to grab a jacket before heading out the door though.
Temps will cool very quickly this evening, thanks to our clear skies and the passing cold front from this afternoon. You may also want to grab an extra blanket before heading to sleep for the night.
The only chance for rain will be Wednesday night into Thursday, but the system will move pretty far north of us, leaving us only with a little moisture to work with.
We don’t “need” the rain; those to our SE are the ones who “need” it.
A friend of mine — this was about two years ago — and I were watching our daughters in a soccer tournament. Not a cloud in the sky. I offered him sunscreen. He said “I don’t need it, it’s 40° outside.” He regretted it the next day.
