Remaining warm and humid with a high of 89° and dew points in the low 60°s. An isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible, but those should form southeast of us. Here is the latest NAM3 model:
This dewpoint chart shows how muggy it feels out there, with today feeling sticky. Not too bad.
Less humidity Friday. High only 83°!
Today and tonight, low pressure will be spinning over the Bourbon trail.
Because winds spin counterclockwise around a low, showers developed by the low should rotate into Middle Tennessee, including us (Nashville and Will Co) later this afternoon or tonight.
Late morning rain is coming in now for those along and north of I-40. We are tweeting about that.
Later today there is a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms. NWS-Nashville mentions the possibility for a few strong storms this afternoon:
Not too much to say here except hot and sunny:
The HRRR model shows rain staying to our north.
Note these storms are passing pretty close to us. We still think they’ll miss us but this will need to be watched in case the data is a bit off and we get surprised.
ALERT! INDULGENT STORY BY THE EDITOR!
If you just want the forecast, scroll beyond the blue.
Watching those Ohio tornadoes on radar last night took me back to when I was a small boy, living not that far from Dayton. Mom, dad, baby sister and I lived in Mason OH, not far from Xenia, not long after their F5. Tornadoes were on the mind in SW OH in the late 1970s.
Editor’s Note.
It’s Memorial Day.
You honor a sacrifice when you stop and remember the man and his sacrifice.
We remember Army Spc. Jason K. Edens.
He was born in Nashville. He graduated from Franklin High School in 2007. After a few semesters in college, he joined the Army then married Ashley. Assigned to the 1st Squadron, 13th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, Texas, he was deployed to Afghanistan in the fall of 2011.
Remaining hot and humid with highs of 93 degrees both days. An isolated shower or thunderstorm can’t be ruled out due to the high heat and moisture in the atmosphere, but once again, we aren’t expecting anything significant. Be confident in any barbecue or pool plans.
Temps are running around ten to fifteen degrees above normal.
Near record breaking heat expected with highs of 93 on Saturday and 94 Sunday.
If we hit 93 today it’ll tie the May 25 record set in 1926.
Hope you’re feeling HOT HOT HOT for this afternoon!

We have potential record breaking heat in store for us today! The record is 93º from 1996. Temperatures have already climbed up to 92° this afternoon.
We have a high pressure that is sitting right on top of us.
This high doesn’t seem to be moving anytime soon.
We have a low pressure tracking to our north. We won’t see any rain with this one, so says the HRRR model.
