Dreary, Overcast, Drizzly Few Days Ahead

Because an area of low pressure way up in the air will become a “closed low.”   That means dreary days ahead.

Thursday night, the closed low emerges! Here’s the GFS model: read more

Current Radar

Our temperature will climb to 72° this afternoon under a cloudy sky. Dew points will continue to stay in the muggy 60s throughout the day.

Some isolated showers will be passing through later this afternoon. read more

This Evening – 74° by 7 PM 

Sunset: 6:34 PM 

‘Humid & cloudy & kinda warm, but kinda cool’ will be the scenario as we head into the evening.

Models keep just a few showers around this evening:

Judging by current radar, I’d say rain chances are pretty low. read more

Current Radar

If you looped the radar at 304 PM, you saw one batch of showers move NE, the other NW, because why not.

As Meagan wrote this morning, rain is coming tonight. Moisture from an upper low and a surface low in the Gulf is surging north. read more

Current Radar

It will be a muggy Monday under a mostly cloudy. The high temperature will climb to 81° this afternoon with a dew point in the sticky upper 60s.

The surface low that is currently in the Gulf of Mexico is pumping in lots of moisture into our area today. read more

Current Radar

Eclipse viewing looks poor tonight, although we may see a few breaks in the clouds.

We may see rain arrive after midnight, but models think it’ll break up upon arrival.

CLOUDY, A LITTLE MORE RAIN TODAY, High 80°

It’s been a soggy few days. Even though we’re not yet done with the rain, I feel a liiiiitle bit better about today.

Yesterday’s mid/upper level low (which created the rain) has moved north and washed out. Today there’s another system in the northern Gulf of Mexico coming our way: read more

Current Radar

LIGHT, OCCASIONAL RAIN TODAY

It doesn’t look too bad to be outside.

It’ll be overcast all day, for sure. High only 73°.

Current conditions:

There will be at least a little rain, but it should be the light, even drizzly variety. read more

LIGHT, INTERMITTENT RAIN TONIGHT

At the risk of making too many analogies, the upper level low is, as I write this, spinning in a Reverse Sherman — working its way from Atlanta to Chattanooga.

The NW quadrant of the low is producing Crazy Ivan showers, all in compliance with what the models said they’d do, which is refreshing. Showers will continue off and on, working from east to west, before probably reducing in coverage later tonight. read more

RAIN TODAY High: 77°

Check out the radar above, and the water vapor below. Behold the swirl to our southeast.

It’s going to rain a little this afternoon and tonight.

HRRR thinks the rain will arrive by mid/late afternoon. read more
