Possible Record Heat Continues; Relief is Within Sight!
Isolated Showers and Storms Today and This Weekend, Cooling Trend Possible Next Week
Imagine a typical summer day. Isolated showers and storms, hot, humid, etc. Now put that in October and voilà, you have today!
The HRRR model shows isolated showers and storms will be present this afternoon. Keep an umbrella and/or a rain jacket handy just in case you are one of the few who get stuck under an isolated shower this afternoon.
Spotty Afternoon Showers Unlikely to Wander Over You; Hot and Humid Weekend; October Torch.
Satellite shows a cloud making boundary to our northwest. High pressure will keep it from pushing through our area. A few clouds could be thrown our way, but today we’ll be mostly cloud-free.
Feeling Like Summer, Not Fall. No Relief in Sight
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
Hot, humid, ugh. This should be fall, not summer!
High temperatures will be several degrees warmer today when compared to yesterday. We are looking at a high of 88º with dewpoints hovering right at 70º. Keep the water handy!
Rain Chances Today; Hot & Humid Through the Weekend
We’ve got a few showers hanging out just N of I-40, drifting east. They’re part of a weak shortwave trough. We could see more showers and a few storms later this morning and afternoon with daytime heating.
Rain Chances Today and Tuesday, Drier By Week’s End
Rain Chances Monday & Tuesday
Someone should tell October it’s October and kick out this humidity.
Dry weather ends today because the upper high dominating our atmosphere has shifted south. Rain is possible late this morning into the afternoon.
Humidity Returns; Rain Chances Monday and Tuesday Afternoon.
Summertime quality sticky and near-uncomfortable humidity returns this week.
High temps in the 80°s, upper 80°s for the last half of the week.
But will we still get cool, crisp mornings?
Rain Chances Monday & Tuesday
More humidity, more clouds, so with extra shade high only 83°. Pop up rain with maybe a thunderstorm tomorrow afternoon will scatter across Middle Tennessee. Here's the HRRR model at 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM, and 6 PM. Similar rain chances Tuesday afternoon. pic.twitter.com/fs8EMqMx6f
Mid-Upper 80°s Today & This Week, Bit More Humid, Don’t Blame the Messenger
From NWS-Nashville:
A warm, above-average weather pattern will continue through next weekend. High temperatures in the low to mid 80s and overnight lows ranging from the low to upper 60s will be the result of predominant high pressure and southerly winds overhead. October looks to start warm for all and soggy for some.
Dry & Pleasant Today; Warm & Humid Tomorrow; Rain Chances Monday/Tuesday
Today was pretty close to perfect. Hope you got to spend some time outside! Tonight, we’ll dip down to 59°.
Warming Up On Sunday
Warm, moist air will arrive tomorrow as our winds shift to the south (see above). Afternoon temps in the mid 80s, dew points returning to the mid/upper 60s. We’ll be noticeably warmer and stickier, but it won’t feel like summer has returned.
Fall-Like Temperatures Finally Arrive, Looking at Rain Chances Next Week
Today
Seasonable, cooler temperatures have arrived in middle Tennessee, FINALLY! We are looking at a high of 77º in the city as clouds being to clear out and the additional sun is introduced into the forecast.
