20° Thursday morning, with winds to 11 MPH, driving wind chills into single digits at times.
We’ll stay below freezing the rest of the day. High only 30°.
The next few days will be rain-free and particularly chilly from tonight through Friday morning.
We currently have a series of high pressures set up to our west, as shown below.
High pressures have a clockwise circulation around them, so since they are to our west, these high pressures are causing for our winds to be from the North and thus bringing in cooler air.
By dinnertime, a cold front moving from the west will be over-top of us, raring to bring below average temperatures for the rest of the week.
Lots of sun is expected the remainder of the week, but a cold Arctic airmass will keep afternoon temperatures way down.
Cloudy skies will prevail throughout the remainder of the day and into tonight.
One of our short term models has now decided that it wants to put some light showers over our area tomorrow.
Showers, if we see any, should be fairly scattered and brief. The AM work commute could be wet and you may need an umbrella heading into the office tomorrow morning. NAM 4 has the showers drifting around through the morning, but mostly gone by the lunch hour.
Rain is coming in from the west.
Expect it to start as off and on, light showers tonight.
After midnight, it should turn steady, and a little heavy. The HRRR model’s simulated future radar illustrates:
Overnight, the winds turned. They’re now blowing in warmer air from the south. We should make it up to 53°.
Sustained winds 16 MPH this afternoon will gust to 28 MPH. It’s very important for the Titans win the coin toss.
We expect Sunday to be dry until late in the night and early Monday morning…great news for Titans fans, as it will be warmer with temps in the 50s, also! But hold onto your hats — winds will gust as high as 25 mph.
The next 48 hours will include much of the same, bitter cold that has invaded the central and eastern U.S.
Warm air begins to advect (propagate) into southern and middle Tennessee during the day on Sunday. The center of high pressure that was entrenched over-top of us keeping our temperatures down will slide east towards the Appalachians, and relatively warmer air will arrive to replace the chill.
The day has finally come that we have been talking about for quite some time now, our first dose of winter-like weather.
Keep in mind over the next couple of days, we will see some calm winds of about 5-10 mph. While this doesn’t seem like much, this wind will add in wind chill. Expect for it to feel even colder than those high temperatures (the wind chill isn’t forecast to go above 32° tomorrow and this is what it is going to feel like).
Afternoon continues to be pleasant with temps reaching the mid 40s.
A cold front is set to pass through tonight and behind it, very very cold temperatures (more on the meh rain/snow chances later). To end the work week, we will finally be seeing those winter-like temperatures. We could even drop into the teens for the first time this year on Friday night.
