Main headline this forecast will be the low potential for strong to possibly severe storms Wednesday – most likely in the afternoon and evening.
The Storm Predicition Center has outlooked both of our counties with a 5% chance of severe weather within 25 miles.
Another hot one, but today some lucky folks will see a shower or storm to help cool things off.
HRRR model (above) demonstrates the potential for scattered showers and storms throughout the evening, with things quieting down after sunset. A few strong to severe storms cannot be ruled out, with lightning, damaging straight-line, and heavy rain being the main concerns. No tornado concerns.
Another very hot day is underway, thankfully the dewpoints have been relatively tame in the low to mid 60s, so heat index values are “only” hovering around 100°.
There will be no shortage of hot temperatures thru Tuesday. High temperatures in the upper 90s daily, possibly surpassing the century mark on Tuesday.
“Find Some Shade” was the title of this morning’s Situation Report (also known as the SitRep) issued by the NWS office in Nashville. That will be great advice for this weekend and at least the first half of next week as the heat will really let its presence be felt.
Today is the official start of summer for us (and everyone else in the Northern Hemisphere), and the forecast certainly looks like it.
High temperatures in the mid to upper 90s for at least the next 6 days will be a brutal stretch.
While this isn’t a forecast blog, this is a look ahead to something coming soon!
David, Will and I remember the days, not so long ago, when we were financially supporting NashSevereWx out of our own pockets. Granted, we didn’t have as many ongoing costs as we do now. But, being weather twitterers was a sandbox we wanted to play in, and our families were gracious enough to humor us (and still do).
Summer will officially begin tomorrow and there will be no doubt about it.
Today is the coolest day in the forecast – rest of the forecast holds high temperatures in the mid to upper 90s. Saturday and Sunday we’ll be flirting with 100°.
Although there are still some Wattery winners today, fewer tickets have been chosen. Similar to past days, any “winner” could see some brief heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds. These storms tend to fall apart just as fast as they pop up, but a quick inch or so of rain is possible.
A few Wattery winners have already been chosen today, and a few more will be announced tomorrow, although chances look lower.
With any storm today or tomorrow, brief heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds will all be possible. A quick inch or so of rain is possible, while your friend on the other side of town gets nada.
Several of us have seen rain thus far this afternoon, a few have even seen some downed trees – thanks to a downburst.
Tree damage + power outages – not cool. However, the rain has taken the heat index from 105° to the upper 80s at BNA.
