Storms incoming predawn/sunrise tomorrow (Weds) morning. Lightning and briefly heavy rain. Severe weather not expected. Storms lacking key ingredient: CAPE, which is near zero.

Weds afternoon/evening remains questionable. Previous models showed storms in place, with plenty of storm-making ingredients. While the tornado threat appears to be well north of us, the atmosphere could support heavy downpours, lightning, and low probability of damaging winds and hail. However, the last several model runs do not show any storm formation after the storms that will come through early in the morning. read more

Warm Week, Few Storm Chances Along The Way.

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Monday looks like a great, dry spring-like day. High temperatures getting all the way into the mid 80s.

Tuesday still looks warm, but a few showers may swing around during the morning and evening hours.

There could be a few storms Tuesday night as a weakening line of storm approaches the area, but no severe concerns for our area.

That line of showers/storms should be moving out by rush hour Wednesday AM, but we could be dealing with more storm chances later in the day.

The Storm Prediction Center has included the far northern portion of Davidson Co. in a 15% chance of severe storms within 25 miles for Wednesday. This is still several days out, so a lot will change between now and then.

"Uncertainty continues on how strong or
widespread this activity may get as the upper level low weakens
while moving even further northward away from us, taking the main
upper forcing with it. Nevertheless, forecast soundings continue
to show quite favorable parameters for some strong to severe
thunderstorms ahead of the front, especially across our northwest
half, so we will have to keep a close eye on this potential." - NWS Nashville read more

Spring In Full Force: Sun, Warm Temps, Storms

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Winds will die down tonight, leaving us with crisp temps in the mid to upper 40s. Big warm-up starts Saturday, with a high of 76° and mid-80s by early next week.

Since it’s Spring and all…we live among the battle of the air masses. So, our next storm system moves across the central US just as we start warming up. The system should arrive here around Wednesday and could hang around until the weekend. While we are not currently outlooked for severe weather, it will bear watching. We can’t turn our backs to the western sky this time of year. read more
