Nashville Severe Weather

Showers, Few Storms Possible This Afternoon/Evening

First and foremost…happy Friday!

We are watching two weather features in specific today:

The first is a chance for pop-up afternoon storms, thanks to decent moisture in the area.

The second is a line of showers and storms still well to our west this morning that models are expecting to fizzle, but confidence is not high in this solution yet. Decent lift along an approaching cold front might support this line moving in to our area later today AND/OR more storms could re-develop as part of that line this afternoon. read more

A Few Clouds Remain, Slight Rain Chance Lingers into the Evening

I wouldn’t be surprised if we stay dry the remainder of today, but we still have a small chance of a rain lottery type of evening ahead.

Dry Into Tonight

Another bonus for today is that we should stay rain-free. If you have evening plans tonight, temps will drop through the 70s and into the upper 60s overnight.

Intermittent Showers Tapering Off Today

A frontal boundary is hanging out with us this week which means we will continue to forecast daily rain chances. As today goes on, this front is expected to slowly sag further south, which means areas in Northern Middle Tennessee will see less rain chances this week than those elsewhere. Somewhere in the middle are Davidson and Williamson Counties. read more

Expect a cloudy week, keeping temps below 90°. Humidity remains set to “Summer.”

Rain & Storms Tonight

As I write this, storms are breaking out all over Middle Tennessee.

Look for two rounds of storms.

Round 1

Storms developing on top of us, or south of us, beginning now until Round 2 arrives. These storms should work their way north. They are not widespread and you may not see anything at all. read more

Yesterday’s weather was a fall preview, it wasn’t the full length movie. Although cloud cover will keep temps in the 80°s this week, humidity is on the rise. Expect dew points in the upper 60°s this week. That’ll be sticky and gross. read more

Last Bit of Today Will Still be Pretty Great

Things really can’t get any better than they have been today for August. Temps will stay relatively cool even into the evening hours tonight.

A quick fun fact for today:

This morning we tied the record low for August 5, 58° (1974). read more

Wowzers! Saturday is Going to Be Amazing

Low humidity (dew points in the 50s), temperatures in the low to mid 80s, and sunshine will make for a fantastic start to the weekend! I can attest to the power of this cold front…the air behind it feels and smells like fall. read more

Better Chances for Storms Through the Weekend

Friday

Storms are expected to be more widespread on Friday as a cold front approaches. This front will be moving through during afternoon peak-heating hours, which means a few thunderstorms could become strong to severe. Damaging winds and hail will be the most notable threats. The Storm Prediction Center has us under a 1/5 risk, or “Marginal” risk. read more
