We saw some rain this morning and we may not be done. On and off showers are possible across Williamson and Davidson Counties this afternoon as we stay locked in under overcast skies.
You should still expect high temperatures to reach the low to mid-70s prior to sunset. The only type of jacket you may need today is a rain jacket. Overnight low will be in the upper-50s.
Today’s our last day of dry, sunny skies until Sunday. It’ll be breezy today, with a few gusts of 10-20 mph possible in the afternoon.
Afternoon high will try to reach mid 70°s, but some overhead clouds could keep us a degree or two cooler this afternoon.
Today is shaping up to be another picture-perfect day in Nashville with the greenery beginning to bloom and the yellow-ery collecting on our cars.
No issues today weather wise; expect a high in the middle to upper 60s. Cloud cover will not be an issue either. GFS shows us clear for the rest of the day:
Cooler weather paid us a visit this morning. Temps were in the upper 30s when we walked out the door. We will remain on the cooler side today, high temps will hover in the mid 50°s.
Why the return of cooler weather? A high pressure bubble has settled right over the Ohio River Valley. Clockwise winds around the high are pushing cooler temps from the northeast down into Middle Tennessee.
Those pesky showers from this morning are almost done. The HRRR model suggests a few more may be possible just before sunset in Williamson and Davidson Counties.
Aside from the rain, expect temperatures this afternoon to make it into the mid to upper 60s across the area, under mostly cloudy skies. Winds will be noticeable today, between 10-15 mph, with gusts to 20. Winds will turn and come out of the north tonight, dropping tonight’s temps quickly through the 50°s and tomorrow morning’s temperatures into the 30°s. Low tomorrow morning (yeah, I know the “app” strip below says Tuesday night) will be 33°.
Severe thunderstorms formed a line from St. Louis to Dallas as shown below on radar at 6:58 PM.
This activity is moving our way.
“Severe” means 58+ MPH winds, one-inch hail, or tornado. None of that is happening when these storms arrive. The system will nerf on its way east, giving us rain and a few thunderstorms. (The reason has nothing to do with the Mississippi River, the Tennessee River, or whatever old wives tale grandma believed. The reason: dry air locally, insufficient instability, and weakening low pressure).
ETAs
HRRR model thinks 1 PM to 2 PM, but it only lasts for an hour or so and is pretty light:
NAM3 model thinks ETA noon to 1 PM, lasting about an hour or so, maybe a little longer, still light:
Lots of sun and no humidity. A really enjoyable day. Take a look at the temp wind and sky cover grid below.
What you also might notice is that sky cover creeps up overnight into Sunday morning. That sets the tone for the first part of the week ahead.
No clouds in the way today.
Today and tomorrow:
Sunday, clouds roll in and rain chances return.
Off and on showers Sunday through Monday with around ½” of rain or less expected. (NWS-Nashville).
Earlier sprinkles moved E, and we enjoyed some good sunshine today! The rest of the week will be dry and pleasant!
Today, a cold front draped across western Tennessee brought us breezy conditions. This weak front will slowly work its way eastward, passing Nashville tonight into Friday.
