Rest of Today and Round 2 of the NFL Draft

The early morning rain has cleared and we are going to stay dry the rest of the day today and into this evening. We’ve got a pleasant afternoon ahead of us with partly cloudy skies in the afternoon and a high of 71º. It’ll be a bit breezy out there today as well, with winds picking up to 15mph, and gusts potentially reaching 25mph. Once the second round of the draft starts tonight, we’ll be near 70º, with temperatures decreasing as the night goes on, down to our overnight low of 46º.  read more

Rest of the Day and NFL Draft Night: Possible Showers

Overall, the chance for rain has been cut back just a little. However, there is still a chance for some showers and maybe even a thunderstorm.

Below, the HRRR model shows rain moving into the area around 1pm and then scattered showers for the rest of the afternoon and evening. read more

Today: Warm, Potential for Scattered Showers

Today we can expect to see mostly sunny skies with a high of 83°.

There is the chance for a shower or two, though they are more likely to pop up in the late afternoon/early evening hours. The HRRR doesn’t show any showers here, but a front boundary (responsible for the potential shower or two) could drop close to the TN/KY state line. I would carry an umbrella just to be on the safe side. Tonight, lows drop to around 61°. read more

Tonight

After a pleasant and warm afternoon, tonight will remain on the mild side with a low near 58.

Wednesday and Wednesday Night

Clouds will be increasing as a frontal boundary slowly drops in from the north. This may bring an isolated afternoon shower to the region, although it remains uncertain as the models have been showing two different pictures. The latest NAM3 says we don’t get anything: read more

Sunny today. We warm up into the low 80°s with light south winds.

Clear skies means a temp drop into the 60ºs tonight, mid 50°s Tuesday morning.

Tuesday

More clouds as a mid/late week rainmaker creeps closer. No real temperature change. read more

Monday and Tuesday: Warm and Sunny

Great weather continues!

Monday: sunshine with a high of 81°. A nice south/southeast breeze of 5 to 10 MPH winds.

Tuesday looks similar with a high of 81°. We could see a few more clouds, but it should still be mostly sunny. Winds will still hang around 5-10 MPH. read more

Current Weather

Right now it is 43° and mostly cloudy around our area. You can thank the recent cold front for the unseasonably cool weather. There is a chance of rain and showers this morning and into this evening, though this rain will be light and precipitation amounts will be meager (less than a tenth of an inch). read more

This afternoon and tonight

Scattered showers dominate the area throughout the day, some being heavy at times. Believe it or not our high temp was 61º and midnight. By sunrise we had already fallen to a temp of 51º and we’re going to keep getting cooler all day. read more

Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms will move into our region over the next several hours. The main threat is locally heavy rainfall, which the National Weather Service highlights in their afternoon discussion:

Some strong to maybe a couple of severe thunderstorms possible, but in analysis of model sounding profiles, this looks more and more like mainly a rain making event with some heavy downpours this evening causing local ponding of water on area roadways and possible minor flooding of flood prone areas. read more

Big storm system churning through Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi today will be here tonight.

Local worry level: low.

Before-Storm Winds

Before storms, gusts to 40 MPH possible. Blowing in from the south, crossing perpendicular to east-west highways (I-40, I-840, and I-440*), so be especially careful driving big trucks. Don’t get blown out your lane. read more
