Rain Saturday Night; Storm System Next Week

Rain amounts in last night’s sprinkler barely registered. The big winner was five hundredths of an inch in southern Davidson Co. Most much less than that. That was to be expected.

Our next rainer will bring more rainfall Saturday night. Sometime around or after dark, rain will move in from the SW. Could even get a few lightning strikes out of the heavier rain cells. HRRR illustrates what the radar could look like. Loop Saturday 3:00 pm – Sunday 6:00 am (when rain should be moving out). read more

Thanksgiving Day Forecast; Rainy Weekend

If you feel like your hands, lips and sinuses are dry, it’s because the air is at a nearly record low moisture level, per NWS.

While high water intake is typically a summer thing, it’s also important this time of year for both you and your animals when the air gets super dry. Drink plenty of water! read more

Chilly but Sunny

Temps are still pretty cold today even as we bask in the sun. The jerk Northwest wind is keeping our windchill in the 30s! Jerk. Also, 20s overnight, so take appropriate steps to protect your stuff.

We have a warmup coming Monday. Expect mid 50s lots of sun, and with the exception one some light showers Tuesday night, we’re dry until Thursday. That’s awesome news. read more

Cold but Dry

This morning it was 28º outside. Guh. Frost was prevalent any outdoor plants that don’t tolerate freezing conditions will be goners after this weekend.

At least we stay dry this weekend. But, temps will struggle to get to the mid 40s. We could easily see overnight lows in the teens. Time to prepare by dripping faucets and all that stuff your parents told you to do. read more
