Nashville Severe Weather

Tonight: Isolated Showers Quickly End

Like clockwork, any rain will end quickly as we lose daytime heating this evening. Temperatures will fall through the low to mid 80s for any outdoor plans, but it will still be quite humid.

Thursday: Scattered Storms, Heaviest Stays South – High 91°

The chance for thunderstorms will increase slightly on Thursday in accordance with another slug of moisture that swings our way from the Gulf of Mexico. To better visualize this, check out the PWAT values (note: “PWAT” is short for precipitable water…known as the “measure of the depth of liquid water at the surface that would result after precipitating all of the water vapor in a vertical column over a given location…”). read more

Tonight: Per Usual, Most Rain Subsides

Lingering afternoon storms will begin to wane as we approach sunset. Temperatures should be a degree or two cooler in areas that do receive rain, so expect low 80s to upper 70s by late evening.

Wednesday: Scattered Storms, Heaviest Stays South – High 90°

Tonight: Any Lingering Showers Deteriorate

Afternoon rain has developed, mainly east, but some storms may stray to the west. We should see this activity dissipate, especially after sunset. Expect temps to fall back through the 80s for the remainder of the evening, as we hope to dry out. read more

The radar relocated to the bottom of the page. I got sick of looking at it at the top.

Tonight: Looks Good

The front that was making me rain-nervous for those along and S of 40 has finally dropped along 840, as seen here at 4:16 PM:

Tonight looks fine for outdoor activities. Any rain that develops will move south.

Monday: Best Day of the Week, High 91°

Drier air arrives, shoving dewpoints out of the 70°s and into the still-humid upper 60°s. Rain is not expected.

Tuesday & Beyond: Humidity, Rain Chances Return

Dew points will return into the low 70°s. Gross.

NWS-Nashville wrote today:

Will carry chance probabilities of precipitation all week due to no one day/area seeing a better shot than the next.

Meaning, it may rain each day, but we don’t really know when. If you read this, maybe the odds are higher Tuesday. I can’t explain that.

Afternoon/Early evenings more likely to produce rain. Maybe too much rain:

While the threat for severe weather will be low, we will need to monitor the rainfall accumulations each day. The cumulative totals throughout the week could end up causing some very localized flooding issues. read more

For no good reason, I put the radar at the bottom of this page.

Today: Only 89°

This morning, I doubted it would rain. Well what do you know, that seems like a bad forecast a few hours later. Can’t wait for summer to end. 

A front passed by last night, so today we get a north breeze. That breeze is really only happening north of I-40.

You’d think a north breeze would mean cooler, drier air, but when the weather balloon went up this morning, the dew point was SEVENTY FIVE. read more

Tonight: Rain Exiting – Temps into the 70s Overnight

Showers and storms are in the area and more continue to build to our north. We’ll have to watch those as they sink southward, keeping evening plans in mind. It’ll be safer than not to have an umbrella on hand if you plan to be outside. read more

Tonight: Stormy Evening Anticipated

Most of us have gotten in on some rain today, and we aren’t done yet. A line of storms has developed in Kentucky and will continue marching our way from the north. A few of these could become strong/severe, so… read more

Tonight: Rain Exiting – Temps Into the Mid 70s Overnight

Any showers that develop this afternoon are expected to exit by the early evening hours. Partly cloudy skies to follow tonight. Should be a fairly quiet night once the rain leaves.

Friday: Hot & Humid – High 95°

Mother Nature ramps those temps back up to end our week. Temps will reach into the mid 90s with those dew point temps in the low 70s. Very hot day expected and it will likely feel flat out gross outside. read more

Tonight: Rain Chances – Temps into the 70s Overnight

Showers and thunderstorms have developed this afternoon and they will push southeast through the evening. The storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and low-end gusty winds. read more

Current Radar

Tonight: Partly Cloudy, Minimal Chance of Scattered Showers

Still have a few scattered showers around the area, but the majority of the rain ended up pushing to our west.

Cannot rule out a shower tonight (like that lil feller in yellow), but the stormy stuff done gone west of us, yawl. pic.twitter.com/xoBLOrs5ps read more
