The official high at BNA today was 96°. We briefly reached 97°, but we were not there long enough for it to be official. The heat index got up to 106°.
Tonight’s rain event is mostly over. You have to look east or west for the heavier stuff. Here’s what the radar looked like at 8:00 PM.
It’s been another scorcher.

It’s already really, really muggy outside. No surprise there. Dewpoints in the low 70°s will make being outside uncomfortable.
The heat index will run between 100° and 106° this afternoon; however, temps aren’t expected to get to 98° like they did a Friday and Saturday. Look for 96° today. (“Oh, is that all? Only 96°?) It’s not really going to feel cooler than Friday or Saturday.
At 10:00AM, the Airport is already at 89ºF. We are reaching for 98ºF once again this afternoon.
Our eyes will be on radar today as a few isolated showers may develop. These are expected mainly south and east of Davidson/Williamson Counties, but we can’t rule out a pop-up rainer here completely. Once the sun sets, these will quickly dissipate.
And it continues to be really hot.

High temps will start climbing into the mid to upper 90s range today and tomorrow. Along with these high temps will be dew point temps in the low to mid 70s. For this reason, our local NWS has extended our heat advisory through the daytime tomorrow.
The country’s mid-section is painted colorfully today — you can thank the NWS and extreme heat for that.
Let’s zoom in a bit closer for the scoop on our heat advisory:
If you didn’t know already, this week has been really hot … and it’s only going to get warmer.

Temps will continue to creep further into the mid-90s for the remainder of the week reaching a very warm 95° tomorrow and 96° on Friday. Dew point temps will be in the low 70s range, leading to heat index values in the low 100s.

If it is going to be consistently hot and dry, might as well try to make the best out of it. NWS Nashville put it very plainly this morning, “…most locations will have no rain this week under blazing sunshine.”
We’ve officially reached the not-so fun part of summer this week. Highs will stay in the 90s with our dew point temps in the mid-60s to start the week and low-70s to end the week.

91° Monday, 92° Tuesday, 94° Wednesday, 95° Thursday, and please be kidding no we are not kidding 96° Friday.
These are in the shade temps. So if you’re in the sun, obviously, it’s going to be hotter than that.
