We are going to be sitting 18º below our average high of 58º today.
Expect an afternoon high of around 40º with a west wind, 5-10 mph. Clear skies will give way to a partly cloudy night across WIlliamson and Davidson Counties. An overnight low of 24º is expected. At least it’s not in the teens!
Cold continues. Wind chills in the low 20°s around sundown then upper teens tonight.
Even colder tomorrow morning. Wake up low 19°, wind chill 13°.
I mean, yeah, technically it’s still winter.
Wednesday’s high is 39° – a meaningful improvement – then Thursday morning another ice boxer 24° (wind chill 21°), but 52° Thursday afternoon.
March 1 may have been the start of meteorological Spring however, Old Man Winter had something to say about that. All of the rain yesterday left cold air in its wake. Temperatures this afternoon are going to struggle to make it to and above freezing.
Radar images coming out of Georgia this afternoon are upsetting. Numerous tornado debris signatures, obvious tornadoes, some tearing through towns, from what’s fair to say they’re enduring: a tornado outbreak.
I write from Severe Weather Awareness Day at Trevecca. It’s from 9 AM to 4 PM today. The Blue Bell ice cream guy if here with a LOT of ice cream and Erik is here from Storm Watch Plus — we have 200 severe weather alert apps to give away for freeeee! The event is free here too. Parking free. It’s all free. Even the ice cream. Free! All your fave broadcast mets are here. Also NWS people and other exhibitors. Details here.
Intern 4.0 here, a special thanks to David, Will, and Andrew for letting me make a “guest” appearance on today’s blog.
Technically speaking we have a very slim chance of a scattered shower this morning, but so far showers have stayed well to our south. So I wouldn’t count on any showers, but be advised if you were to feel a sprinkle or two. As you head outside this morning, you may notice the abundance of clouds overhead. Visible satellite imagery shows the sun rising over these clouds, even if we can’t see it here in Middle Tennessee.
A weak cold front is stretched across Middle Tennessee, bringing scattered showers and keeping afternoon high temps in the mid 50°s. Light rain could continue into tonight.
Morning commute will be met with temps in the mid 30°s, with high temps warming into the upper 40°s. Light scattered showers are possible in the morning and early afternoon, which the NAM 3km shows. By evening a high pressure center should set up over the Great Plains which will push rain chances out. [Editor’s Note: NWS keeps us dry on Friday during the day and introduces low end rain chances beginning in the evening. Future forecasts may change in response to model data, but we’ll update rain chances over on Twitter.]
Get outside and enjoy today! Our afternoon high temperature is expected to fall just short of 70º, but still, it is going to feel amazing. Clouds will begin to move in ahead of our next front tonight.
We’ll start Wednesday morning in the low 40°s and warm quickly to the mid 60°s by afternoon. Take this opportunity to soak in the sun while you can. Clouds will begin invading in the afternoon ahead of more rain.
