As a refresher, wattery pun = playing the lottery for rain, who knows who will win, watery as in the water our crunchy grass desperately needs, and watt as in electricity with lightning in any of these storms. Super punny, I know.
Playing The Wattery For The 4th Weekend
Wattery Szn
“Wattery” is a three tiered dad pun (which I will now ruin for the sake of clarity: lottery as in who knows who will win – maybe nobody, watery as in rain we need, watts as in electricity as in lightning), deal with it.
Humidity Is Way Up, Pop Up Storm Szn Begins Today, Much of Nashville Now In Moderate Drought
The dewpoint jumped from 58° at 5 AM to 68° at 9 AM.
Foreseeable future afternoon highs are now stuck in the low/mid 90°s.
Storms may pop up this afternoon. High pressure will fight storm formation but a few cells may push through. Don’t know exactly whether, when, or where it’ll happen.
Pop Up Storm Lottery Szn Ahead — But Not Much Rain
Air Quality Alert today — impacting sensitive groups (asthma, young/old, etc.)
Abnormally-dry predrought continues. We are 3.18″ below normal for June, but 2.66″ above normal for 2022.
Humidity Returns Tomorrow
It’s been nice having late June afternoons not feel like late July afternoons. That crispness in the air first thing in the morning is like a cool mountain breeze.
Well, I hope you have a good memory, because that &*#% is gone starting tomorrow.
Few Great Days. Summertime Pop Up Rain/Storm Szn Returns Just In Time For The Weekend
Comfortable humidity and temps Monday and Tuesday, let’s goooo.
Humid, summertime airmass arrives Thursday morning and sets up camp. Temps right around and slightly above normal for late June with humidity increasing from Comfortable to Sticky. Humidity will be Uncomfortable Friday through the weekend.
Embracing Uncertainty With Summertime Pop-Ups
Clouds this morning has knocked the forecasted high down to “only” 94. With the dewpoints in the upper 60’s it’ll still feel closer to 100.
Currently some rain in NW Tennessee and Kentucky. Models don’t think this rain makes it to us and dissipates before arrival.
Your Dry Crunchy Grass Awaits
It’s still hot. Dewpoints in the mid 60’s will make it feel a lot closer to the 100° mark today.
Maybe pop-up showers/lightningstorms, but HRRR (and most) models think this stays to our east, letting us roast.
“What Is ‘Hot With Hopes For Rain’ For 400 Alex?”
Correct.
Up to 97° today but dewps in the upper 50’s will make it feel not-so-bad, but still hot. No rain today to put the high temp in jeopardy.
Saturday and Sunday temps will be 96-97 and dewpoints will get buffed into the mid-upper 60’s, so the heat index goes back into the 100-104 range.
A Little Rain & Heat Relief Sunday-Monday
(If it is your birthday I got you “at least it’s not eleventy billion degrees today” and this birthday message).
Temps today lower than yesterday’s streak snapping (almost ten years without hitting 100°) and June 22-record-breaking 101°.
