Nashville Severe Weather

Rain Chances Increasing – Soggy Weekend Ahead

A shortwave trough over the Great Plains has shifted our winds to the south, bringing gross, moist air to the Midstate. For today, periods of on and off rain. Not expecting anything severe with these. read more

Today

We are looking at a very chilly day ahead. Only expecting a high of 41º to occur in Nashville; some spots may not even make it out of the 30s. We will see some high clouds, however, nothing in the way of precipitation. read more

Cold air is pouring in from the north, making for a breezy day. Wind chills will go no higher than the upper 20s this afternoon, with breezy winds driving the wind chill into the upper teens after sundown.

Normal high temps for the end of November are usually in the mid-50s!. High could crawl close to 35° even though we’ll see more sun through the day.

Some flurries are possible but no impacts are expected. Just be careful if you see a wet road, there may be a thin layer of ice.

Wednesday Morning – COLD

Overnight temps will fall even further into the low 20s. This is due in part to clouds breaking up, cold air and calm winds. Here’s what NWS Nashville has to say:

"CAA [cold air advection; fancy term for cold air moving from one place to another] today will also bring drier air with dewpoints in the teens, and with winds calming down a bit tonight, there won't be anything to keep temps up." read more

Wind chills will remain below or near freezing today despite our high of 41°. Winds will gradually relax through the day.

Below are forecast wind chills every three hours beginning at 9 AM today continuing through noon Wednesday: read more

17-20 MPH sustained this afternoon. From 9 PM to midnight, winds will gust up to 32 MPH. You may hear things creak.

The kids say “rn,” efficiently meaning “right now.” Hey, it’s your tomorrow. It means everything.

The last band of rain has moved to our east, bringing today’s rain chances to a close. Sun is returning as we go into the afternoon.

Winds will calm down this afternoon/evening as dry air is ushered into Nashville. High temps should reach the low/mid 60s, slowly cooling into the mid 50s by bedtime. read more

Few Thanksgivings in recent memory have been as nice weather-wise as yesterday. With a high of 61°, it was perfect for David’s Turkey Bowl, which he described yesterday.

So, every year I aim to leave 30% of the plate visible once I load it up with food. Each year I fail miserably. The problem is this: Once 70% of the plate is full, there’s still 30% of the buffet remaining left to visit. It’s simple math. But, that was yesterday. This is today. read more

Turkey Bowls will be windy tomorrow.

Turkey Bowl is where you play touch football with family and/or friends, dads and moms included, until:

• someone pulls a hamstring or gets face-elbowed,
• Type A dad yells at Other Type A dad prompting a profanity exchange,
• once-a-child but now-a-teenager dominates the game and cannot be stopped,
• someone says “dinner is ready.”

Not expecting to get below freezing Friday morning, so hopefully shoppers encounter no freezing fog. High 60°. read more

Today

A nice warm-up is underway today with sunny skies and a high temp forecast at 52°. Tonight, we fall to 33°.

Here Comes Turkey Day!

High pressure is our main weather driver this holiday week. Drier conditions with warming temperatures will follow suit through tomorrow. read more
