Tuesday aka today
1–This Afternoon.
A few lightningstorms will be around Middle TN. Not sure exactly where and when. There should not be many of them. Not everyone will get stormed. Those storms that get going will have plenty of fuel to tap. Those could be bad storms.
1–Strong, scattered afternoon storms possible today.
Storms forming near Memphis may arrive here this afternoon. Not everyone will see a storm. Those that do will want to be inside. We are not severe-outlooked by SPC; however, our local NWS office notes enough instability and shear to power storms up. This is suggested by the HRRR model below. Storms may be strong, maybe severe, with damaging straight line winds the main severe feature. Data does not support tornado. Hail, if any, will be small. Heavy rainfall running above already saturated grounds may create temporary, localized, but real flooding in the “usual spots.” We’ll be covering this on Twitter/X today. On YouTube Live if any warnings are issued. Activity should end after dark.
In this blog: 1. Website/X change. 2. Storms tonight. 3. Severe storms outlooked this week.
1–Website change.
As you probably know, we’ve made recent attempts to become less dependent on Twitter and instead create a website from the ground up that would serve as our main timeline and push to social media platforms secondarily. The site would serve as a one stop shop. Pull it up, let it sit there, and be fed all NashSevereWx content automatically. While our developers have done amazing things with this concept under the hood of the site – and it works well most of the time for most people – none of us think it’s quite ready for us to depend on during a week when potentially severe, storms are forecast. We’re committed to getting it perfect. In the meantime, we’ll be posting our updates to Twitter (X), and only long-form blogs like this one to the website like we used to. We’ll be on our YouTube channel covering any warnings. Cool things are coming. We’ll keep you updated!
Most of the energy has been wrung out of the atmosphere. Sun is going down. Both good news for outdoor events tonight.
428 PM Two Williamson Co lightningstorms thinking about converging east of 65
Watch out for flooding near Thompson’s Station / Spring Hill. NWS issued Flood Advisory: “Minor flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly in the advisory area. Between 2 and 3 inches of rain have fallen.”
405 PM another cloud to ground lightningstorm moving from Fairview toward Brentwood.
119 PM Rainout coming into Franklin. Lightning-capable.
Monthly tornado siren test in Williamson County is at 1:00 pm. Just a test. No worries.
All these energy consuming storms this afternoon + lack of daytime heating = probably (?) good news for Morgan Wallen 2nite. 🪑
