Another Rainy Day; Snowy Weekend?

Today, it looks like we have another chance at rain coming in from the SW. Yesterday, the rain wasn't as common around areas like I though it would be, but for today...it is going to be their. Many places in Middle TN and South Central KY will receive amounts over 1" of rain from this system. And on Thursday and Friday, their is still an outreached chance of strong to severe t'storms, but don't I'm not counting on it thus far.

And after the cold front passes, our temps. will take a nose-dive southward for just a little while, cause on Sunday, our high's here are barely going to get out of the 40's in my forecast. And with these low temps...if we have enough moisture left we could see some flurries on the back side of this system so that is something to continue to watch.

Nashville: mid to upper 50's; 90% chance
Clarksville: mid 50's; 100% chance
Cookeville: mid 50's; 80% chance
Columbia: mid to upper 50's; 100% chance
Manchester: mid 50's; 90% chance

Wet Veteran's Day; Much Wetter Week

Don't Forget to remember ALL of the veteran's who fought for this country in previous wars. These men and women have more courage then may of us could ever imagine, so please take the time sometime during your day to thank them for their service.

Warmer Monday; Flurries By Weekend?

As many of us Middle Tennesseans wake up to 20º readings, today's high should reach higher then what yesterday brought us, cause today we don't have the cloud cover around the keep the cold air trapped. With that being said, when I say warmer, I mean the high will probably get to around the 51-54ºF today which will be 7-10ºF warmer for some then what yesterday brought. We don't see rain enter the picture til tomorrow evening and into the early morning hours. The NWS office here in Nashville is saying that our low will get to around 34ºF tonight with the chance of rain, so we ALMOST reached that 32º mark for snow, but I don't think we will quite make it.

And as I mention snow, this weekend is looking better and better for snow flurries/ snow showers to form Saturday night into Sunday morning. It won't be much due to it being leftover moisture from the system, but we are currently thinking that enough moisture will be leftover for some people (especially the Plateau people) to at least see some flurries fly. Places on the Plateau might even see a dusting of snow on their patio decks, much like the last flurries we had.

Rainy End to Work Week; Nice, Cooler Weekend

Too add to the text above, after this cold front passes, we Middle Tennesseans and South Central Kentuckians will be witness to much cooler weather. Where the high's won't reach the 70º mark anymore, but we will be back into a more fall like atmosphere which is where you should be on November the 7th weekend. Hope everyone has a great end to your work week.

Nashville: mid 60's; 40% this afternoon
Clarksville: mid to upper 60's

Manchester: low to mid 60's; 60% chance (watch for strong t'storms)

Plains Severe Day; Great TN Weather

From looking at this tornado potential...it looks like areas in the SE KS and NE OK will be the most likely places to see the tornadoes and I agree with that reasoning and have agreed with it from the day we knew about this system. I expect to see 5-8 tornado reports from the Plains states today, but hail is going to be the primary threat.

As for as here...GREAT weather will continue for at least one more day before this same system comes through our region Thursday night. We here at the Highland Rim Station aren't forecasting any severe storms due to the model consistency of there being low amounts of instability and too it hitting overnight.

The high's today should easily hit the mid 70º mark today, and for November...that is just unheard of, but come this weekend, these 70º readings will feel like Florida weather cause we won't be in the 70's come this weekend...try more like mid 50's. At least we have ONE more day of nice weather.

Nashville: mid 70's (isolated upper 70's)
Clarksville: mid 70's
Cookeville: low to mid 70's
Columbia: mid 70's
Manchester: mid 70's

Election Forecast; Severe Risk Thursday?

Man, is is good to be posting these again. And as you can tell, the SPC already has areas from the TN River, westward in a Slight risk for Thursday and Thursday night. From reading the outlook, it looks like the many severe risk will damaging winds, but hail is also going to be a threat with any storms that do form out ahead of the front. It doesn't appear that tornadoes will be a big issue do to the lack of lift in the atmosphere come Thursday, but that can't be said for places in the Plains that will have to deal with this system Weds and Weds night.

Now, as I push the severe risk to the side for a minute, today looks to be another great, November day with the high getting to around 72-75º with low humidity making it a fantastic day to get out and vote for the next President of the United States or to do whatever outdoor plan you might have in mind. Our next rain chance doesn't come til Thursday evening with this front and at this point it doesn't look like severe weather will be too big of a problem for us, due to the system hitting at the overnight hours and it just doesn't look like all the weather "science" will come together for us either.

Nashville: low to mid 70's
Clarksville: low 70's
Cookeville: low 70's
Columbia: low to mid 70's
Manchester: low to mid 70;s

Wonderful Day Ahead; 1 Day Til Election!

Oh boy is today going to be awesome! The weather couldn't get any better, especially for being the start of November! Even though this is a Monday, the weather looks and will feel more like a Saturday deal, so if you have the time, take a break or something and get out and enjoy this beautiful weather...cause I have a feeling it won't last much longer. The high;s today should reach well into the 70's with most places seeing reading around 74º-76º.

If you have yet to vote today would be a great time to vote cause the weather won't be slowing you down a bit. With tomorrow being Election Day, most TN and South Central KY school are out and that includes me and I will keep this blog informed on the latest election news as the day goes on...or when I'm not outside enjoying the weather!!! Have a great Monday everyone.
