No record breaking heat today (we’d have to make it to 92°; that record was set many, many years ago in 2018). Mid 80’s with low 60’s dewpoints = you’ll be a bit uncomfortable.
Dodging Storms Today And Tomorrow
Weekend Humidity and Rain Chances
Happy Friday! Today looks like a great weather day with only a slight chance of passing showers. An overnight front showed up and is doing its best to limit dew points to below 60º. It’s hard work, but so far we’re winning the fight against the moisture.
Weekend Forecast Looks Hot
When I started looking at data to write this blog I was hoping I’d see a gradual cool down and a return to more spring like temps.
The we’ll see 90º today and upper 80s on Friday with 60º dew points for the entire forecast period. That’s a recipe for hot and sticky feels when outside.
And Then It Was Hot
I’ve always loved the rhythm of the seasons in Middle Tennessee. The cold, the heat, and the in between. Right now is the in between. Mornings are comfortable, but sunburns are on tap in the afternoon.
Dewpoints Tell The Truth
It was summer the last time it’s been as humid as it’s going to be later today and Wednesday.
Tell your friends “relative humidity” is useful for fire danger but dewpoints tell the truth:
Mow Today, Rest of the Week Cheeks.
- It’s getting hot. Wed – Thu may approach record daily high temps for May 11 and 12. Current forecast a few degrees below the records. Mow today, stay cool tomorrow.
- Humidity mid/upper 50°s except for Tuesday afternoon/evening when it gets to Sticky territory.
- Yesterday I wrote no rain until maybe Sat but now a few models show isolated showers Weds. NWS not yet ready to say yeah it may rain Weds. They’re waiting to see if more data trends that way.
- Still think next best rain chance maybe random pop ups Saturday afternoon, more likely Sunday with a weaksauce cold front passing thru. Model data reliability isn’t great rn, too low res for “will my event be impacted” questions which we can answer if you would like guesses and/or lies.

This GIF this works today.
Momjeans not ideal Tuesday when the dewpoint gets into the low 60°s Tuesday with an afternoon high 88°.
91° Wednesday would break the May 11 daily record (90°) set all the way back in 2016.
Cloudy and Cool This Weekend, then…not.
It’s going to be cooler today due to some clouds and a front that moved in last night. Today’s high will be around 65 and for the low, we will reach down to the upper 40s.
The HRRR shows no measurable rainfall, but expect drizzle to continue today.
Showers and Storms Today
Last night almost all of us saw gusty winds and heavy rain. We were fortunate severe weather mostly avoided our two counties. However, those winds were legit.
Today, we’ll see more rain but not the severe chances we had yesterday.
Storms This Afternoon – Tonight May Be Strong or Severe, a Breakdown
Moist, unstable, storm powering air will lift north into Middle Tennessee this afternoon:
Storms approaching from the west will tap this power source. Heavy rain, lightning, and severe weather are all possible later this afternoon into the early evening.
