It’s overcast, so says the orbiting satellite GOES 16 and any two eyeballs pointed up. Clouds are dissipating over central Missouri, signaling cold, dry air creeping south and closer to us.
We should see a break in the cloud cover late this afternoon as dry air arrives.
After a stellar weekend, a weak cold front (Editor’s Note: expertly drawn by Alex) is beginning to drop into Nashville, bring some isolated showers with it for the next several hours. These light showers will progress eastward as the day rolls on; not much in the way of rain is expected. No big deal if you forgot an umbrella or you left it you don’t know where.
One year ago today, at 4:31 PM, a 200 yard wide EF-0 tornado touched down just north of I-24 in Joelton. It ran parallel to the interstate for 2.34 miles with no injuries. Twenty-two minutes later another tornado touched down at the Villages of Long Hunter subdivision in Antioch, crossed Percy Priest Lake and churned 10.93 miles into an EF-1. No injuries, but there was property damage.
Patchy freezing fog, locally dense, is expected to continue through the mid morning hours today. Some bridges and overpasses may be slick. Black ice may have formed on some area roadways. Take caution as you head out this morning.
Today is the rebound day! The bitter cold is coming to an end (for now…). A high pressure is beginning to build in across middle Tennessee bringing calm weather with it.
It’s influence on Nashville will remain noticeable through the weekend. Temperatures are going to be on the upswing through most of the weekend. These temperatures will be more seasonable for this time of year.
If you were dreaming of a snow-covered wintry day, models just don’t agree. One thing models do agree on is that the cold stuff will likely all fall to the north of us. We could see a rogue flurry throughout the day – nothing that will cause any problems.
Today is the day everyone has been waiting for. Is it going to snow?!
The short answer: it’s looking a lot less likely than what we have been seeing in the previous model runs leading up to this event. Before that threat, let’s get through today first.
We had a Blerg (No snow √, No sun √, Temps under 40° √) today, our first this fall.
Tomorrow, things get worse.
A cold rain is coming Wednesday, with the possibility of wintry mix/snow very late Wednesday into Thursday.
Rain moved out of Middle Tennessee, leaving behind a very cold and dry afternoon.
Here’s the departing precip per the HRRR model:
Temps earlier this morning were creeping toward 40°. They’re now dropping and should settle in the mid/upper 30°s throughout the afternoon. The wind is strong today, blowing around 10 MPH and gusting stronger than that, keeping wind chills at and below freezing today and certainly tonight and overnight. Temps should drop below freezing after midnight, with a pre-dawn low Wednesday of 31°.
Gross. It’s been a cold rainy day with temps stuck in the 40s.
those S of I-40 my have seen a half inch of rain today. However much was in your rain bucket, it was enough to make it feel pretty nope outside. Drizzle/fog will continue overnight.
