Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you – cheers to you.
The abundance of sun will be a bit misleading today as temperatures will stay chilly throughout the day. Highs will only get into the mid 40s. Definitely will need a jacket for any backyard football games or if you are in charge of deep frying the turkey.
Yesterday our high temperature was 70° – we won’t be anywhere close to that for the foreseeable future. But to be fair, it is late November.
Dry but cool temps today. In fact, most of the US will be dry today, good news for those flying or driving on the so-called busiest travel day of the year. If you won’t be in town this holiday, you can always check the forecast for wherever you may be by going to weather.gov and typing in the city/zip code for a detailed forecast from the pros at NWS.
We’ll spend today drying out, with today being the last day of truly comfortable high temperatures as we get near 70° this afternoon. No more rain is expected.
Tonight, our wind direction will flip from SW to NW, which will begin the intrusion of cooler temperatures.
Cloud cover will increase throughout the day and eventually, we’ll get some showers.
Most of the rain will hold off until this evening, and in fact, most of it will fall while we sleep. We could hear a few rumbles of thunder, but there are no severe worries.
Plenty of sun today will get our high temps up into the mid 60s. We could see some fog develop tonight, heads up for AM commute on Monday.
Rain, maybe a non-severe thunderstorm returns Monday afternoon/evening, continuing through the overnight hours into early Tuesday morning.
Cloud cover will hang on for a good portion of the day, but we’ll stay dry with some fairly warm temps in the mid 60s.
Sunday will have a lot more sun, but temperatures will remain similar, highs remain in the mid 60s.
Last night, the Storm Prediction Center introduced a very-low end threat of severe weather for this evening into the overnight hours. Emphasis on very low-end.
To be specific, there’s a 5% chance of damaging straight-line winds and a 2% chance of a tornado within 25 miles. Did I mention this was a very low-end threat?
Morning showers have moved thru and there’s more on the way.
HRRR model shows more on/off showers (maybe a rumble of thunder) arriving shortly after lunch, lasting thru this evening. No severe concerns.
Today (Wednesday) will be dry with warm temps. Sun should peak out more and more as we get later in the day.
Rain chances return midday-ish Thursday and will continue thru the evening hours. Scattered showers and (non-severe) storms will be possible.
Our rain/storm chances are returning today, although we aren’t guaranteed rain.
To address the elephant in the room first, the Storm Prediction Center has outlooked most of Davidson Co. and far NW WillCo. with a 5% chance of damaging straight-line and hail, as well as a 2% chance of a tornado – all within 25 miles.
