Although we’ll be dry today and Thursday, they’ll also likely be the two hottest days so far this year (hottest so far is 92° on May 17-19).
High temperatures are likely to reach the mid 90s both days.
Today and Thursday Hottest Days of the Year (So Far), Rain/Storms Return Friday
Low Risk for a Strong to Severe Storm Today, Heat Index Values Near 100° Wednesday/Thursday
Although our Flood Watch has been canceled early, we still do run the risk of some localized flash flooding today – along with a low shot at a strong to severe storm this afternoon and evening.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked the majority of our two counties in a 5-15% chance of damaging straight-line winds and a 2% chance of a tornado, both within 25 miles.
Flood Watch Until 8p, Heat Turns Up This Week
We have a Flood Watch in effect today thru 8p.
1.5 – 3″ of rain will be possible today from showers/storms, which could cause flooding – especially in low-lying areas.
The latest HRRR model keeps coverage fairly scattered – but models are guidance, not gospel. We’ll be monitoring things all day, stay weather aware today, especially if you live in a flood-prone areas.
Rain Chances Return Sunday, Summer Heat Arrives Soon
Today will be the last guaranteed dry day for the next little bit. It’ll be a hot one, with high temps nearing 90°. Good day to be near a body of water.
Our rain/storm chances return on Sunday, Wattery style, with scattered showers and storms being possible mainly in the afternoon and evening. Those going to any CMA Fest activities or any other outdoor plans should keep an eye on the radar and know where to head indoors if thunder roars.
Nice Weather Until Sunday
Nice several days in store for us.
Dry through Saturday. High temperatures in the mid to upper 80s will be quite warm, but pleasant humidity levels will make it more tolerable.
For reference, dewpoints will be in the mid 50s today and Friday, increasing to the low 60s by Saturday.
Dry and Warm Remainder of the Week
Although it’s not impossible that we see a popup shower/storm this afternoon and evening – it is very unlikely. Latest observations don’t suggest anything much, but we’ll keep an eye on it just in case. But I’d say you can leave the rain gear at home as you head out for any plans the rest of today.
Low-End Severe Threat on Monday, Then Much Drier
Today is our last day of random showers/storms for the foreseeable future. Monday will still have rain/storm chances, but in a different set up.
Radar won’t look exactly like this, but the HRRR model helps gives us a general idea. Rain/storm chances mostly confined from the afternoon into the early evening. No severe weather expected, but when thunder roars – go indoors.
A Few More Days of Rain/Storm Chances
We are close to shaking this rainy pattern, but not quite there.
Today will be another day of scattered showers/storms being possible thru the early evening. Lightning will be possible with any storm, so those with outdoor plans should remain weather aware – when thunder roars, go indoors. We have a cool radar you can look at on our website: Radar – Nashville Severe Weather
Looking Drier Starting Next Week, Drought Improvement
We are close to a dry stretch of weather, not quite there yet.
Although rain/storm chances will be lower today, with most of the activity confined to our south, there is still a chance. Out of the next 3 days, today looks to be the driest. I will be mowing the grass today.
Daily Rain/Storm Chances Continue thru Saturday
Scattered showers/storms have already begun to pop-up over Middle TN and will continue to randomly do so throughout the day. You can always use your favorite radar app, or we have one (for free) on our website: Radar – Nashville Severe Weather
