We continue our unsettled pattern thru Tuesday.

I know I sound like a broken record, but scattered showers and storms will be possible daily, mostly confined to the afternoon and evening. Some will see some heavy rain, while others see none. read more

Our 12z morning sounding from BNA today looks fairly similar to yesterday’s. No coincidence – much of the same can be expected. Our atmosphere will look fairly similar each day thru Tuesday. read more

We have one more day of our Heat Advisory, which expires at 7p today. Once again, heat index values up to 105° will be possible this afternoon and evening.

Although it will still be hot this weekend and next week, it just won’t be as hot. It’s still summer, so continue to take it easy if you must be outside for long periods of time. High temperatures continue to be in the low 90s. read more

Outflow boundary that moved thru this morning did a couple of things for us.

1. A good bit of Williamson Co. saw heavy rain, a few folks in Davidson. Watch out for any water on roads.
2. The outflow boundary cooled things off for everyone, BNA gusted to 36 mph and temps went from 84° to 77°
3. I think it’s unlikely we hit our projected high temp of 96°, although it will still get hot.
4. We still could see an afternoon shower or storm, but chances are still relatively low. But still, any storm could contain heavy rain, lightning and some gusty winds.

The Heat Advisory continues thru 7p Friday. Heat index values could still reach up to 107° today and Friday.

Continue to take it easy if you must be outside for long periods of time. Stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and look before you lock. read more

Unfortunately, I could copy and paste the blog from yesterday for today. I won’t – but the heat remains brutal.

At 9a, BNA reported a temperature of 88°. It could be worse, at the same time, Logan International Airport in Boston was reporting 93° as they make their way up to 102°.

“Astronomical summer kicks off today at 942 PM CDT, and right on cue, here comes a heat wave” was the opening line to the midday area forecast discussion from our friends at NWS Nashville – which I thought was very fitting. read more
