A pleasant evening to follow our pleasant day expected for us tonight. All outdoor plans are a go; you may want to grab a jacket before heading out the door though.
Temps will cool very quickly this evening, thanks to our clear skies and the passing cold front from this afternoon. You may also want to grab an extra blanket before heading to sleep for the night.
The only chance for rain will be Wednesday night into Thursday, but the system will move pretty far north of us, leaving us only with a little moisture to work with.
We don’t “need” the rain; those to our SE are the ones who “need” it.
A friend of mine — this was about two years ago — and I were watching our daughters in a soccer tournament. Not a cloud in the sky. I offered him sunscreen. He said “I don’t need it, it’s 40° outside.” He regretted it the next day.

Once the sun sets, thanks to clear skies, our temps will plummet again through the 50s by mid evening. Been waiting on a time to use the bonfire logs? Tonight would be perfect.
Don’t forget the s’mores!

Well…we had another record breaking day today, but we didn’t just break one record…we broke TWO records by hitting 90° this afternoon. We broke the record high temperature for October 19th of 89° that occurred in 2005 AND we broke the long standing record of the latest day with a high temperature of 90° which was previously October 10th and occurred in 1980.

Update: You know that record of 87° set in 1953? Well, we set a new one today. Nashville International Airport, at 2:10 this afternoon, reached 88°.
The Dallas Stars are in town tonight for a 7PM matchup against the Preds. Temperatures as you head for Bridgestone Arena will be in the low 80s to upper 70s. In fact, the warmth outside may make your first row seats next to the ice feel quite refreshing.
Current Radar
Peaceful evening in store for us. Clear skies will prevail through the entire night with temps staying fairly warm, only reaching the mid 70s by 9 PM.
Our Tuesday will look a lot like our Monday, more sunshine and well above average temps.
Gonna be a hot few days, y’all.
NWS-Nashville wrote this afternoon: “It won`t be a dry heat, either. [Winds blowing from the S/SE] will keep dew points in the low to mid 60°s both days, so relative humidity values will be elevated to make it a little sticky — but not summertime sticky.”
