In this blog we’ll cover two different weather stories. The rain, and the temps.
We woke to water falling from the sky. As of posting this, we’ve gotten more than an inch of rain at BNA. We have a bit more rain left this morning before it moves east and the sun comes out. Below is the HRRR through 1pm Friday.
The forecast has remained pretty consistent over the last few days. The two stories from the last couple of days remain the two stories for today.
We’ll be affected by two systems. The remnants of Nicole from our east. A strong cold front from our west. As these two systems interact, we expect rain to begin overnight and last until tomorrow afternoon. HRRR loop 4:00 pm today – 7:00 pm Friday.
Two stories for today. First, Nicole will be making landfall on the east coast of Florida in the next 24 hours. If you have interests in Florida and need more info on impacts there, reference the National Hurricane Center.
Ok, I’m back. Just as I was about to start typing, sprinkles began appearing on my laptop for the second day in a row. We really do think these will dissipate and not be a big deal today. Most won’t see them at all.
They’ve been stubborn. Their estimated time of departure? Elusive. The sprinkles and light rain showers today shhhhould be gone by this evening. But, as this is being written, another round is moving SW to NE through Williamson Co.
Some patchy fog is possible this morning. A boundary in place will keep the low clouds over us. This boundary is a bit of a deviation from yesterdays forecast. The clouds hang around until Monday. A few passing showers aren’t out of the question, but no organized rain development is expected per the HRRR (below).
The headline says it all. Today is a glorious weather day. Upper 70s to low 80s, abundant sunshine, and it’s Friday. Cocktail on a patio type of afternoon and evening. You earned it. EDIT: It might be windy.
I’m so glad we aren’t a newspaper. Not sure that headline would make it past an editor. But since I’m the editor, I approve.
…anyway. Today and Tomorrow are going to be great weather days. Upper level ridge will give us upper 70s and minimal cloud cover. However, this too shall pass.
So, the sprinkles. A couple of models had indicated that we could get some rain today, but most said nope. The forecast leaned dry. For the most part the showers that have developed have been mere sprinkles. Reason? Our friend (or foe) the Dry Air Monster. He’s not very strong today, but he’s there, visible on the morning weather balloon…eating rain as it falls through the air.
71° today, steadily increasing to near 80° this weekend. Average for this time of year is around 67°
Rain chances come back late Saturday into Sunday. Latest Euro model thinks we’ll see a half inch or less. Timing is ?? But will become more clear as we get closer. Severe weather and/or flash flooding is not expected.
