Somehow, it’s the last day of 2025 – thankfully we get some decent weather to close out the year.
We’ll be right on average today with a high temp of 49°. If you are headed out to celebrate the New Year downtown, or anywhere else – you’ll want to bundle up. Temps will be in the upper 30s by 8p, down in the low to mid 30s when the clock hits midnight.
We were at 30º at 10:30am but we’re starting a slow warming trend over the next few days. Cold, clear, and dry. Rain returns by the end of the week.
New Years Eve: Windchill should be hovering around 30º at midnight. Clear skies and no rain should make for an enjoyable time outside if you bring your hat and mittens. Rizzy Leo says make some plans and go enjoy yourself.
Overnight lows into the upper teens is a shock to the system given our weather last week and yesterday. The good news is that things will be quiet for most of the week. Seasonal cold and and sun. NWS forecast grids show little sky cover until rain returns late in the week.
72º for a high isn’t all bad. However it won’t last much longer. A cold front sweeps in tonight and drops our temperature like a music note on New Years Eve.
We’ll see a 40º difference from 3pm today and 8am tomorrow. This cold front is also bringing some potentially strong winds. Right now the weather service believes the wind stays below severe limits (58mph). I do expect them to issue some sort of wind advisory for us, however, that’s not a sure thing. Some of these winds could launch your inflatable Santa down the street.
If it’s going to be warm, can’t it at least be sunny? Sheesh.
We started the day with a dense layer of fog that didn’t thin out until 11am. The temp will hover around 65 or 70 today, overnight, and tomorrow before a cold front will approach from the west. Until then enjoy warm, muggy, and overcast conditions.
Those are the three best words to sum up today’s weather. The warmest temps we’ve seen in a December in years are still hanging around. 70’s for highs Today, Saturday, and Sunday are forecasted before we take a big temperature tumble down to the low 20’s by Tuesday morning.
I have never been to Hawaii but I’m guessing this is what it feels like there today. Temperatures are headed for the low 70s again while you unwrap gifts. Humidity remains high (precipitable water values this morning are 185 % of normal), but that doesn’t translate to buckets of rain.
The record high for today is 76° set back in 1964. We won’t get there today (we don’t think), but we are running about 20° above average. Forecast high at BNA is 71°.
For Christmas Day, the record high is also 76°, set only four years ago in 2021. We should make it up to about 72° this year.
Scattered showers will continue to be on/off (mostly off) throughout the rest of today and Christmas Eve. Only very light totals, if any. Not really any specific timing, they’ll just pass on thru sporadically. An umbrella or rain jacket handy should suffice.
Stray, light showers will be possible starting this afternoon, with chances continuing thru early Wednesday (Christmas Eve) morning.
These look to be quick and very light. I don’t see any need to alter any plans, maybe just a rain jacket for any last-minute Christmas shopping or any holiday parties.
