We’re still droughty, just less droughty. Takes time to catch up from our big rain deficit.
Lovely Week Until Friday PM
Plenty of sun propelled our temps all the way up to the mid 60s. Nice evening if going out to dinner.
Tomorrow will be a near copy and paste of today. Sun and high temps back in the mid 60s.
Friday…not quite as nice.
Nice Week Until Rain + Cooldown Friday/Saturday
After quite the interesting night, today turned out nicely with high temps getting up into the low to mid 50s.
Wednesday and Thursday will be lovely with high temps reaching into the low 60s. Cold mornings to deal with tho.
Very Little, If Any Accumulating Snow Expected Tonight
Changeover from rain to a mix of rain/sleet/snow currently happening in some areas.
HRRR model (above) suggests that a mixture of frozen precipitation may fall for a few hours tonight, but we have reason to believe that very little, if any of it will stick.
For many of us the wind is picking up and the change over to some kind of freezing precip is occurring. Temps dropping. Careful on bridges and overpasses tonight.
Radar suggests a wintry mix is falling along and W of 65. Likely sleet mixed in with the rain. 7:21 pm
Rain and Snow(ish) moving in. Currently 45°. Not much hope for sticking south of I 40. Radar as of 702pm.
Very little/no snow expected locally tonight.
Deets: Notice the surface low (the red L below) that’s now just passed to our south. It’s racing to Knoxville then Carolina mtns.
This means:
- Temps are about to drop fast.
- But precip will pull east and away from us quick.
- The 700 MB chart shows the base of the trough getting here late, delaying local rain/snow transition.
- While flakes may fly, surface temps should be too warm for accumulation.
High elevations may get dusted. 99% of us nah.
Off/On downpours. Storm center remains south. Some lightning there. Radar below at 305 PM.
Precip will continue tonight. Mix of rain/snow. Few/No impacts locally. Higher elevations may see a dusting — those up a big hill, Fairview, SE Will Co, and other high spots. HRRR model thinks rain/snow gone by midnight.
Heavy rain, lightning, approaching. Low probability of strong winds and small hail. No tornado.
