High pressure should keep skies clear and dry for the better part of this week. No rain in sight today.
It’s hot. Highs in the mid 90s, dewps up in the low 70s. Result: triple digit heat indices again… maybe higher than yesterday. Below is the heat index outlook for the next couple days. One word: Sweaty.
Today, a high pressure system overhead keeps us rain-free.
It will definitely feel like summer today, with mid 90s temps and dewpoints in the 70s. Here’s what the heat index looks like on the NWS Blend of Models. Pro tip: on the model, red means hot, white means really hot. Heat indices look to get right up near 100°.
The heavy rain is finally over for us and our western neighbors.
Today the HRRR shows some showers to our south in the late morning. If anything does pop up in your neighborhood, it will be brief and of little consequence.
Editor’s Note: Flash Floods. We’ve been through them. They’re a painful reminder of how quickly weather can take away what has taken years to make…homes, businesses and beautiful landscapes. Today, our friends just to our west are dealing with catastrophic flooding with well over 11 inches of rain, maybe much more, falling just this morning. The beautiful Piney River is roaring at 31.8 ft at the time of this writing, a staggering 7.8 ft above MAJOR flood stage. If you have friends in Humphreys, Hickman, Dickson or Houston Counties, please check on them by phone/text if you’re able. They’re going to need much to rebuild what water has taken away today.
Scattered storms from last night have lingered around and are still in our area this morning. HRRR has these storms hanging around most of the day. No severe weather is expected with these. Main concern is lightning and gusty winds.
Storms don’t reach our area again until 1-2pm. These won’t be as widespread as yesterday. Only threats with this batch is lightning and wind gusts. No severe weather is expected. Scattered storms continue into early Friday morning, see HRRR below.
The Storm Prediction Center believes there’s a 5% chance you will see damaging straight-line wind within 25 miles of you today and tonight. While the threat is low, it is not zero. Two of our communities have seen the affects of microbursts recently, Oak Hill and Nolensville. Will we see another one today? We don’t know. But, the chance is there and worth noting, especially if your plans include being outdoors.
Scattered rain activity and overcast skies in store for our counties. Chances are best this afternoon, but most won’t see anything. Those that do get storms likely won’t see anything severe with these, just brief downpours and the occasional rumble of thunder. See the HRRR below.
Like yesterday, this morning is very foggy, and tomorrow morning could be as well. Remember to drive carefully if you encounter any dense fog.
It’ll be another hot and humid day, with dewpoints in the 60s and 70s.
There was fog this morning and there will probably be fog tomorrow morning. Consider printing this graphic and sending it to other drivers. We know you, loyal reader, drive perfect. The problem is other drivers.
