Record-Breaking Heat has Returned this Weekend
You know how it’s the last weekend of September? Well, it feels like the second weekend of July.
Editor’s Note:
Highs today will approach the mid 90°s with dewpoints in the mid 60°s.
Heat to Last through the Weekend and into the Week
Potential Record Heat Next Week As We Move Into October
The 90s Aren’t Going Away Anytime Soon
There are plenty of chances this week for some high temperature records to be broken with all forecasted highs in the mid 90s. Minimal rain chances through the week, not really any relief in sight. A strong upper level ridge boosts our temperatures mid week up to near 96°, making it feel like a July afternoon. The all-time record high for October, 94°, has a good chance of being snapped later on this week.
Showers Thursday with Cooler Temps; Heat Returns Friday; Drought Creeps In
Incoming Rain and Cooler Temps

When is Fall coming? Ummmm, Well, …..
Today should be the nicest day of the week.
Humidity left. Dew points in the mid 40°s — fall quality! — but temps remain above normal for late September with mid/upper 80°s.
Rain chances return Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Wednesday will be nice.
Showers arrive maybe Wednesday night but probably Thursday morning as another cold front moves into the region.
It’s the First Day of Fall! (it’s ghosting us).
We won’t see a lot of rain today, sorry.
At least it’s something?
These aren’t pop up storms, instead a weak cold front is moving through today, setting off this rain.
NWS-Nashville predicts less than .25″, with most areas receiving less than .10″. Your backyard could see more, some could see less; either way it’s not a lot. This will do little to cut into our monthly deficit.
Fire & Rain. Cooling off then Heating Up. September 2019 hot & dry continues. Also a movie recommendation for the grandma in you (and me).
Fire Danger, So Don’t Burn Stuff This Afternoon.
Fires can spread quickly this afternoon.
Dewpoints are likely to drop into the mid 50s later today, and with winds speeds picking up and pretty dry ground conditions, marginal fire danger is likely this afternoon. •NWS-Nashville
Today
At the time of writing this the temperature is 89º, but it sure doesn’t feel like with a 52º dew point. A steady 10mph breeze doesn’t hurt anything either. All in all, if you’re tailgating, back yard tailgating, or outside for Pilgrimage, things are pretty comfortable. That being said, take some sunscreen.
Lower Heat And Humidity, Still No Rain
Beautiful Friday
We’ve got great weather to end the workweek today for Middle Tennessee.
Cooler than the past few days, but more importantly, lower dewpoints! We’ll be up to 89° today, but the dewpoints are actually going to be our friend today and stay in the 50s!
Heat and Sunshine Currently Here to Stay; Drop in Dewpoints Friday; Update on the Drought Monitor
Copy and Paste Forecast? Pretty Much.
It’s still kinda humid and dry, though we will have a slight drop in high temps.
These above-average high temperatures keep pushing us closer to breaking a record:
“Still looks to reach the 90s for much of the area, with Nashville now at the #2 most 90 degree days ever in a year and inching ever closer to the all time record set in 1954.” @NWS-Nashville
