Our gross, disgusting stretch of hot temperatures continues.
To put this stretch into perspective…
Our Heat Advisory continues through Friday evening, and I won’t be surprised if it’s extended until Saturday.
Gross Heat Continues, Very Low Wattery Chances
Heat Advisory thru Friday Evening; Stupid Hot and Probably Dry Week
Stupid hot continues.
High temperatures in the upper 90s, pushing 100° will continue over the next several days. Dewpoints won’t be too kind to us either, sending heat index values in the 105-109° range, which has called for our Heat Advisory thru Friday evening.
Heat Advisory Wednesday Morning thru Friday Evening, Heat Index Values Up to 109°
Unsurprisingly, NWS Nashville issued a Heat Advisory that will start Wednesday morning and go thru Friday evening. Although today isn’t technically included, it’ll still be stupid hot, so I’m going to just group it all together.
Hot & Little to No Rain
As we wrap up August today and move into September, it will feel more like we are ending July and moving into August.
Our average high for this time of year is 86-87°. We passed that at 9:30a this morning…
Way Too Hot for PSL.
Per reliable sources, the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) came out this week at a popular coffee shop. Normally, I’d keep my opinion on this to myself, but since there’s not a lot going on, I’ll share my thoughts.
One More Day of Wattery Chances Before A Dry Stretch
Today (Thursday) will be the last day of Wattery (water + lottery) chances before we get an extended break.
Winning tickets will generally be few and far between today. Chances will mostly be confined to the afternoon and evening. No severe weather is expected today, but per usual, any thunderstorm could contain heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds. Don’t see a reason to cancel outdoor plans but certainly keep an eye on the radar. We have a super cool (or at least I think it is) radar available on our website for you to use anytime: Radar – Nashville Severe Weather
If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
Some showers with the occasional rumble of thunder continues to move thru our area as of 2p. These should slowly move out of here, and I’d guess we’d be dry by the time you head out for dinner this evening (if not sooner). Not expecting severe weather today. More updates on this can be found on our socials as the day goes on.
Rain Possible Wednesday/Thursday, Dry + Hot Weekend
Although we’ve warmed up quite a bit (close to 90° as of 2:30p), dewpoints remain reasonable in the mid 50s, making it somewhat tolerable outside. Unfortunately, these nice dewpoints won’t stick around for much longer.
Tolerable Temps + Humidity Thru Tuesday, Rain Returns Wednesday
Pleasant temperatures + humidity (considering it’s late August) will be around today and Tuesday. High temperatures near 90° with dewpoints in the mid to upper 50s will feel quite refreshing. Great time to get outside and enjoy it.
Probably Dry But Maybe A Storm This Afternoon/Evening
On our way to a fairly hot Saturday afternoon, although it could certainly be worse. Highs in the mid 90s, but dewpoints will be in the upper 60s, so not terrible.
Although I still think the majority of us will likely stay dry, there is still a low chance of a shower/storm that popups this afternoon/evening. If we were to see a storm, there’s a very low-end chance it could produce some damaging straight-line winds. The Storm Prediction Center has given us a 5% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles.
