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.
Humidity Returns, Expect Rain Tonight
Shower Chances Return Tomorrow through Next Week
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).
Storms Roll In and Out Today, Saturday Promises to Impress
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.
Abundant Chances For Rain Through Next Week
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.
Pop-Up Afternoon Showers Tomorrow, More Showers on Friday
Some Clouds & Some Sun with Scattered Afternoon Shower Chances
Tomorrow appears to be a whole lot like today and yesterday with decent cloud coverage through a good bit of the day. Highs will be just below the 90° mark with dew point temps coasting around the mid 60s.
Ramping Up Rain Possibilities, Decent Temps For August
Welcome to August 2017 — the month of the Solar Eclipse!
This Week — Not a Washout, But Some Rain For the Lawns
A slight chance of a storm exists today from Davidson/Williamson Counties westward. There’s just enough moisture, apparent on this morning’s upper-air observations, to squeeze out a storm or two. Not everyone gets so lucky, but some burnt area lawns could definitely use it.
Decent Week Ahead, Even Better Weekend in Store
Sunny Skies, Dew Point Temps on the Rise
A pleasant evening is in store for all of Middle Tennessee with temps falling into the upper 60s overnight.
Tomorrow dew points will begin to creep back into the mid-60s range.
It won’t feel horrible out, but it also won’t feel as nice as it has been.
The Week Ahead: Not Too Bad!
Dry High Pressure Monday & Tuesday
Expect a cool Monday morning. 63°.
We’re going to heat back up again. High 89° Monday, 90° Tuesday.
Humidity will rise every day this week.
Monday’s humidity will be sticky; Tuesday will be almost uncomfortable.
The Slow Return of Summer…Then Another Great Weekend?
Another Glorious Sunday
Breezy, low/no humidity, high 87°, sunny. Winds should top out by mid afternoon around 10 MPH. Probably not enough to support a kite.
Little Hotter, Little More Humid Monday
But first, another cool morning! 63°!!!!

Totally agree.
High 89°.
Dewpoints will climb out of the 50°s and settle into the low 60°s.
And a Little Hotter & More Humid Tuesday
Another kinda-cool morning, 66°, then up to 90° by mid-afternoon.
Rising humidity, with dewpoints approaching 65°.
No rain is expected through Tuesday.
Pattern Change Begins Wednesday
Goodbye cool mornings.
The dewpoint will creep into the upper 60°s (“uncomfortable” range), and with that comes maybe an afternoon/early evening pop-up shower or storm. Wednesday is outside the range of the short-range models, leaving us with little/no additional information about whether it will rain on us (Davidson and/or Williamson Counties) or other parts of Middle Tennessee. No severe weather is expected.
Shortwave Thursday Bringing Rain Chances
What’s a shortwave?
Yes, that. Also this:
Also known as Shortwave Trough; a disturbance in the mid or upper part of the atmosphere which induces upward motion ahead of it. If other conditions are favorable, the upward motion can contribute to thunderstorm development ahead of a shortwave.
The Great Outdoors Have Great Weather In Store
On A Roll — Great Weather Through Tuesday
GFS says, and we agree, no rain until (maybe) Wednesday.
GFS Loop through Tuesday
Expect temps to climb slowly into the 90s by Tuesday. Humidity will also return at that time.
Wednesday’s System Hangs Around For Awhile
Rain chances ramp up during the mid-afternoon on Wednesday and continue through at least Friday.
