In addition to our dangerous heat, we have a threat of severe weather to watch for this afternoon and evening.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked us with a 30% chance of damaging straight-line winds and a 5% chance of hail within 25 miles. No tornado concerns. The main thing we’ll be watching for will be the threat of microbursts. These water and wind loaded downdrafts can cause some issues. You can read more on them here: What is a Microburst?
Another day still under our Extreme Heat Warning, which continues thru 8p Friday.
Actual air temperatures will peak in the upper 90s, nearing 100°. Dewpoints will be in the low to mid 70s, causing heat index values to be in the 105-110°+ range.
Our Extreme Heat Warning continues until 8p on Thursday. I could see it getting extended thru Friday.
Today thru Thursday (and probably Friday) will be the hottest days we’ve seen in some time.
Actual air temperatures near 100°, with dewpoints in the low 70s will get heat index values near 110°. Overnight lows will only be in the upper 70s, which will give us very little relief. BTW, if we do hit 100° – it will be the first time since August 19th, 2025.
We have an Extreme Heat Warning in effect from 11 Monday thru 8p Thursday.
Actual air temperatures will be in the upper 90s, pushing 100°. Combine that with dewpoints in the low 70s, heat index values will be in the 105-110°+ range.
NWS-Nashville has us under a Heat Advisory through this evening and an Extreme Heat Warning that runs through Thursday evening, with heat indices climbing well into the 100s for several days in a row. We are not severe outlooked.
A little more uncertainty than usual regarding today’s forecast – which is never fun.
Yesterday, multiple high-res models agreed that we would see multiple waves of storms throughout the day, even starting as early as this morning. This is no longer the case.
Recent model runs have backed off on our storm chances this afternoon and evening, although chances certainly are not zero, especially with this clearing we are seeing.
With any popup storm this afternoon, we can’t totally rule out a strong storm or two with some damaging straight-line winds. The Storm Prediction Center continues to have us outlooked with a 5% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles.
Models have backed off on our rain chances for today and now think we stay dry. Typical, hot summer day with highs near 90°.
We get two days of more active weather on Friday and Saturday.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked us with a 5% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles for Friday. Similar probabilities for Saturday as well.
Another nice day ongoing. Not too hot and dewpoints only in the mid 50s. Good day to take your lunch break outside.
Thursday our temperatures will slowly start to climb. Could be the start of a prolonged stretch of 90°+ days.
Today and Wednesday will be the days to mow the yard and get outside. Highs in the low to mid 80s, tolerable humidity and dry.
Thursday a more summer-like pattern returns. High temps near 90° with popup showers/storms (the ole’ Wattery) possible in the afternoon and evening.
