Well, the HRRR model from yesterday was pretty spot on in regard to today’s forecast. Majority of the activity has stay off to our east, and rain chances will remain low (but not zero) thru the remainder of today.
Below-Average Temps + Medium Rain Chances thru Wednesday
Today Felt Amazing, Rain Chances Return Sunday
I’ll take today’s weather for early August every single day. It felt amazing.
Although similar temperatures will stick around for the next couple of days, it probably won’t be as dry.
Congrats on Making It Thru The (Tied) Hottest July Ever
Well, we just tied 1954 for the hottest July on record. So, congrats on making it thru that.
We get rewarded with some below average temperatures for a little.
Official high today was 83° with dewpoints in the mid 60s. A noticeable difference.
Relief from the Heat, Rain Chances Pick Up Next Week
Today marked the 30th consecutive day we reached 90°+.
I am honored, humbled, and thankful to announce that streak will end tomorrow.
It will still be hot – but high temps will “only” get into the mid to upper 80s thru early next week.
One More Heat Advisory on Thursday to Deal With…For Now
Another scorcher today, BNA peaked at 98°.
Although it remains unlikely, a few folks could see a shower or storm this evening – but think majority of us stay dry.
We have just one more Heat Advisory to get thru this week, valid Thursday until 8p.
Extreme Heat Warning until 8p Wednesday, Relief In Sight
We continue to have an Extreme Heat Warning until 8p Wednesday.
Heat index values up to 113° will be possible during the afternoon and evening.
Heat illness can occur quickly with conditions as hot as this. Please, take it easy if you have to be outdoors for a long stretch. Take frequent breaks, stay hydrated, and watch out for others.
Heat Index Values Near 110° Continue Tuesday and Wednesday
Today was our 27th consecutive day of 90°+. Tied for the 6th longest such streak on record.
We are likely to see 28, 29, and possibly 30 [consecutive days] by Thursday. For those curious, the record is 34 consecutive days, set in 2007 per NWS Nashville – thankfully we won’t see that.
Heat Advisory thru Wednesday Evening, Rain/Storm Chances Increase Midweek
Our Heat Advisory started this morning and will continue thru 8p Wednesday.
Heat index values will peak in the 105-110° range each afternoon and evening.
For those that must be outdoors for long periods of time, please take it easy. Take frequent breaks, stay hydrated, and watch out for signs of heat illness.
Heat Advisory Sunday thru Wednesday, Heat Index Values Near 110°
It’s still hot today, but just not hot enough to get us into Heat Advisory criteria.
Sunday thru Wednesday – we’ll have no problem getting there.
Heat index values in the 105-110° range will be likely.
Summer Heat Continues, Flirting with 100° Next Week
Although it’ll still be hot on Saturday, we won’t have a Heat Advisory for the first time since Sunday. Heat index values will still be near 100°, but most of us should stay below the Heat Advisory criteria of 105°+.
