Nashville Severe Weather

The NWS Blend of Models thinks our heat index will get to 101° this afternoon. That’s in the shade!

Dewpoint around 73° to 74° this afternoon.

Models thought we would see a line of storms here mid afternoon. That was yesterday’s models. Today it shows that line south of us. Some of us will probably see a few showers/storms pop off this morning (we have one already in Brentwood/Nolensville) and/or this afternoon from a weak upper level boundary, but the meat of the system should be south of us if the HRRR is right. read more

Early morning fog will have cleared by the time you are reading this, but only to give way to hazy skies we’ve gotten used to.

Our smoke is coming from two large wildfires in California. Maybe some Canadian smoke mixed in. Winds aloft have picked it up and blown it a few thousand miles.

We have reached the end of the rain! We’re staying dry for today and tomorrow. Any blips of storms on the models stay south of us. There is not much of a chance for those to develop throughout the afternoon time and affect us. read more

Rain continues south of us today. We may see an upper level low spin a few showers in here this afternoon along and south of I-40. Nothing like yesterday, though. Here’s the HRRR model:

Ah yes, the wet weekend we all hoped for continues.

Expect rain this afternoon. Amounts will vary by community. Kinda like last night when those north and east of downtown got heavy rain and a Flash Flood Warning. Most of us, however, got nothing. read more

The big question – when and where will it rain this weekend? The honest answer is – no one really knows. But let’s try to get a better idea. Let’s have a look at model guidance. read more
