Today will be like yesterday. A bit hotter, closer to 90°. Clouds may roll in this afternoon, but no rain.
Alert radar watchers may see rain coming down I-24 this afternoon. Expect it to nerf before it gets here, except maybe provide clouds. The HRRR model illustrates this:
At 8:25 AM, BNA’s temp was 68°, dewpoint 63°. Last night, a north breeze blew in drier air, so today we get a slight break in humidity, with a high temp around the mid 80°s. No rain, no problems.
Another hot and humid one in store for us today to end off the work week.
We’ll be up to a toasty 90° this afternoon for the high. Dewpoint values continually get higher as the day goes on, reaching up to near 70° by later this evening while everyone is out enjoying some Friday night football.
The smell of corn dogs got caught in the lunchtime air in the Gulch.
Possible it was just me, and I was smelling a mix of construction stench, bachelorette boots, my upper lip, scooter tires, and restaurant exhaust. That this combination makes a corn dog smell is either a local/personal olfactory indictment or some pedal taverner features a corn dog and whiskey cruise which sounds amazing.
As of 8:12 AM, you can see some valley fog! It is very apparent to our east along the Appalachians. You can also see temperatures (in red) and dew points (in green.)
Any fog should mix out as the sun heats up the surface and convection begins for the day.
The great weather continues.
Dewpoint temperatures will linger in the mid-60s, leading to some stickiness in the air.
So far, the weather seems uneventful for the remainder of the week:
Wednesday: Cold front moves through. One more day of almost oppressive humidity with a dewpoint of 70°. Could see some rain, but that looks unlikely.
The sun sticks around with us again for Labor Day! We’ll probably stay clear of any showers here in Middle Tennessee, with a bit of an increased rain chance off to our East.
It’ll be a little sticky out as well, dewpoints in the upper 60s-low70s. High of 91° this afternoon.
Looks like we have a great day in store for us.
You may feel some stickiness in the air thanks to dewpoint temps in the mid-60s.
Rain? Unlikely, but showers have recently been popping up on the HRRR model:
Saturday 91°.
Sunday 92° but a bit sweaty, mid 60s dewpoints.
Monday 91°, upper 60s dewpoints.
Tuesday & Wednesday 93°, upper 60s dewpoints.
It’s still summer.
Some nerd is going to tell you tomorrow is the first day of fall, “meteorological fall.” I usually side with meteorology nerds BUT NOT THIS TIME, TREVOR, there is nothing “fall” about September 1. Meteorological Fall is Fake Fall. It’s useful for climate stats but nothing else.
Happy end of the work week everyone! Lots and lots of sun for the rest of today. Temperatures will rise up to near 91° for the high, combining with lower dewpoints in the low 60s to make way for a great evening for some outdoor plans.
