#TBT
Those “warm and happy thoughts” will lead to high near 80 today.
Warmer temps will provide more energy for showers to develop Thursday afternoon. HRRR Model predicts most of the showers will stay to our north.
Three Waves of Rain (Storms?): What We Know (And Don’t Know)
Wind, Rain, and Maybe Storms Early Next Week.
Windy & Warm Wednesday
Our temperatures will continue to trend well above average by over 15º.
We can thank a surface high weather regime for these May-like temperatures. The surface high pressure will begin to move off to our northeast by tonight.
Quiet – Bit Rainy – Storms Next Week?
Nothing happening until Thursday, when rain sets up north of us.
GFS Model Thursday Will it get here? Maybe not. Thursday showers will mainly stay north of I-40. They may not even make it into Davidson County.
But Friday and Friday night that stationary rainmaking boundary should sag south and send a few off and on, scattered, and unconcerning showers into to our area. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible, but just thunder and lightning, nothing severe.

High pressure remains in store for us through most of the work week and spring-like temperatures will continue for Nashville sitting at or above 70 degrees for most of the week!
March is Usually Active . . . So Far So Good
On this Day in 1955…
There had been 5 straight days of rainfall. It would continue for another 6 days, setting the record in Nashville for the most consecutive days of rainfall.
This record was almost broken 23 years later. Beginning on March 7, 1978, Nashville saw 10 consecutive days of rainfall.

Editor’s Note: On this day in 1917, Nashville received 7 1/2 inches of snow. Give yourself about 30 seconds to immerse yourself in that scene, then proceed with reading this awesome forecast.
Warming up nicely out of the 40’s today with lots of sunshine.
Compassionate Grit
One year ago, many of us were beginning to understand the magnitude of what had happened. We had watched the horrific scene of a strong tornado moving through our city live on our screens hours before, but this wasn’t your average tornado video off YouTube. It was our city, our home, our friends, our neighbors.
Blow Away Black Tornado, a personal note a year later.
The supercell appeared on radar a year ago tonight. By 12:33 AM Tuesday March 3, 2020, that [expletive deleted] was here. You know what happened.
I was behind screens watching radar, data, internal chat, typing furiously in surreal horror. Since then I’ve watched and read everything I could find about that tornado. I’ve been back through the radar data. I’ve reviewed the meteorology. I’ve reviewed every tweet I sent and every frame of video footage I could find. I’ve looked at, and walked in, stood in and looked up through, your damage. Many, many times. Trying to process it, to understand it, to be better. I’ve even written a retrospective.
