Nashville Severe Weather

A few minutes ago about an hour ago I was watching basketball (on mute) and Season 2, Episode 10 of The West Wing (“Noel,” one of the series’ best) when I ran across this run of the NAM3 model:

Usually I take the NAM3 with a grain of salt, but yeah, that’s rain tomorrow afternoon turning to wintry precip/snow late Sunday night into Monday morning.

So here I am listening to Pearl Jam (the official music for March snow chances) looking to make sense of it. read more

Cloudy Skies Today, Uncertainty with Showers Over the Next Two Days

A blanket of clouds currently sits over much of Middle Tennessee. Expect clouds to hang around throughout the day.

We’ve been talking about shower chances for the past few days now and luckily we may stay in the clear today. Showers are currently set up to our south and both the HRRR and NAM3 have them staying there. We still have the outside chance of a scattered shower, but no washout is expected for today. read more

Warmer Day On the Way

A southerly breeze will bump temperatures into the middle 50s today, and while some clouds will be passing through, there will be enough sunshine to get us there. It’s Friday! And for some of the kiddos/teachers/college folk out there, Spring Break officially begins today. Road conditions will be most optimal today for heading south. Rain and a few storms will make driving less pleasant on Saturday, detailed below. If you’ll be a beach bum like me, don’t forget the SPF 1,000 sunscreen. read more

Plenty of Sunshine, Still a Bit Chilly Today

Sunny skies for today with a few passing clouds. While the sunshine will be out in full force, our temps will still be fairly cool with highs in the mid-40s.

Other than that, looks like a pretty awesome Thursday to me! read more

Light Rain Monday

ETA looks like it may hold off until after the morning rush hour. HRRR model thinks so:

The NAM3 model agrees.

This is off and on rain that’ll last through the day. Rain should total around 0.06″ to 0.12″, so not much. No flooding concerns. read more

We have one more dry day left, and luckily it will be sunny and warm! High pressure is still in control of our weather pattern but will soon slide to the east, allowing a return southerly flow to kick in. Temperatures today are expected to bounce back into the lower and middle 60s areawide. read more

Sunshine this Weekend

The sun will be shining Saturday and highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 50s. The sunshine will hang around for Sunday, and the highs will be slightly warmer, climbing to the mid 60s. Lows are expected to drop to freezing, or even slightly below, Saturday night. We are seeing more seasonal conditions this weekend. Warmer temperatures in February appeared to jump start vegetation growth, so frost could be impactful. So if you’re ahead of most of us in spring planting, you might want to cover those plants Saturday night. read more
