Updated November 30th SnowTrac Map

And just so everyone knows, these snowfall totals are being very generous. The most out of the system we may end up getting is 1" and that would be on the Plateau where I think 1.5" could fall.

Black Friday Forecast; November 30th SnowTrac Map

Here's the Highland Rim SnowTrac map (from the weatherunderground site) for the November 30th possible winter event. The current thinking is that most places along the KY state line and on the Rim and Plateau, will see some accumulation. While places along the AL state line might see a dusting on the grassy surfaces. The only thing keeping this from being a huge event is the potential of the ground temps. being too high to support much in the way of snow. While my forecast map says Nov. 30th, this event looks to continue into Monday with an all day snow/mix occurring with temps. barely getting to 36ºF anywhere in Middle TN and South Central KY.

As I push that winter threat aside for a bit, the temperatures today won't be as warm as yesterday, but they will still be better then the 40ºF with a WC of 32º days. I'm forecasting a high of 55ºF for Nashville today with many areas not getting out of the low 50's. Have a great Friday everyone!

Thanksgiving Forecast!

I thought this picture suited our turkey brethren quite well for Thanksgiving! And since today is Thanksgiving please take the time out of your hectic schedule to ponder on what you are have, cause we have more then we could ever imagine and I can confess that I don't thank God enough for the things he has given me.

And too add to the thankfulness, the ironic thing is that for the first time in 3 weeks, our temperature will be above average and it happens to fall on Thanksgiving. I'm forecasting a high in Nashville of around 63ºF today, with little to no cloud cover over head. Now come this weekend all of this will change, I'm thinking we have a great shot at some wintry weather this weekend, but I'm either going to make a post tonight or in tomorrow's post about this possible event, since it garners its own post. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Mid-South Regional Thanksgiving Forecast

Nashville: low 60's
Memphis: upper 60's
Louisville, KY: upper 50's
Atlanta, GA: mid to upper 60's
Birmingham, AL: upper 60's
Raleigh, NC: upper 50's to low 60's

11/25 Forecast; No Rain, Better Tuesday

As we roll out another day before our Thanksgiving breaks (mine comes tomorrow!) the weather should be more doable then yesterday's wet and dreey day. The temperature won't get out of the upper 40's, but we should have mostly clear skies throughout the day, but what is keep our temps. down is the west wind we will see today. Come tomorrow however, it looks like we will get somewhat of a south wind and that will push our temps. back up to almost average for this time of year (upper 50's to low 60's). Your Thanksgiving day continue to looks dry and warmer, but on Black Friday I'm forecasting the chance at a passing shower or two for you holiday shoppers, but it shouldn't be enough rain to slow you down any.

Cooler Weather Continues

With the arrival of yet another cold front, the temperatures will be keep below average for another day and even longer. Yesterday we saw our high reach to around 50º's give or take a degree, but today, those 50's won't be around due to a NW wind from this front passing through us today. The morning lows didn't reach no where near as low as last night's did, but with this cold front the temps. won't rebound like they did yesterday. I'm looking for the average Middle TN high to be around 45ºF and SCK's average high being 44ºF. Hope everyone has an enjoyable Thursday!

Nashville: mid 40's; WC: mid to upper 30's
Clarksville: mid 40's; WC: upper 30's
Cookeville: mid to upper 40's; WC: low 40's
Columbia: mid 40's; WC: mid to upper 30's
Manchester: mid to upper 40's; WC: upper 30's

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta; Weds. Forecast

I want to give a big THANK YOU to Leah Robertson for taking these pictures of the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. Leah has sent me storm picture before as well from New Mexico earlier this year. This first image really caught my eye and just shows you how many people where out and about in this fiesta. And Leah even told me that this picture doesn't do justice to just how many balloons where actually in flight that day.

Now this picture is my favorite of them all. How many times have you guys seen a Darth Vader Hot Air balloon? From looking at these pictures, I hope one day I get a chance to go out into Albuquerque and see this event unfold. Thanks again Leah for sharing these amazing photos.

* Now onto the weather aspect of things, after this cold start to the morning (this morning is the coldest start for some this winter year) we will rebound nicely in the temperature department and we should see those bank thermometer's reach the 50º mark later on today. That would be about 10º's warmer then yesterday. Most of the models are keeping the next wet chance out of here til Monday of next week where we could see a front come through and give us yet another shot of cold weather behind the system.

Nashville: low 50's

Clarksville: low 50's

Cookeville: upper 40's to low 50's

Columbia: low 50's

Manchester: low 50's

Out the Door Forecast: 11/18

Having yet another late start so I'm having to give, you, my blog readers the fast forecast. So for today, you can expect here in Middle TN and South Central KY cold and windy conditions. The high should reach the 40º mark, but it probably won't go much higher then that come this afternoon. Like I mentioned yesterday, this whole week will be below normal with the highest Nashville temp. not getting to 60º anytime this week. But with this cold air mass in place, the moisture factor looks to be out of the picture for anyone this week as well...it looks more and more likely that this weekend will be dry rather then wintry like first thought.

*WC- Wind Chill

Nashville: low 40's; WC in the mid 30's
Clarksville: low 40's; WC in the mid 30's
Cookeville: upper 30's; WC in the low 30's
Columbia: low 40's; WC in upper 30's
Manchester: upper 30's to low 40's; WC in the low to mid 30's

Below Normal Week...Weather Wise

After our weekend flurry fiesta...the rest of the work week will tend to follow in the cold temps. footsteps with our temperatures staying below average for much, if not all of this week. And in keeping with the cold temperatures, we could see a NW wind as well to keep the wind chill down in the 40's and 30's.

By next weekend, the models are showing yet another front coming through our region and with it comes rain and back side flurries/snow showers. But that is still 5-6 days away and anything can change in that amount of time as we have seen before. Hope everyone has a great Monday.

Nashville: upper 40's
Clarksville: upper 40's
Cookeville: mid to upper 40's
Columbia: upper 40's
Manchester: mid to upper 40's

Out The Door Forecast: 11/14

I'm having to pack to go to Kentucky so I'm having to get this post done and done fast.

Today: look for wet and windy (15-20 sustained gust to 25-30) conditions the wetter weather should begin right as football games go on tonight, but most of the heavier rain should hold off til the overnight hours into Saturday morning. High's range from 64-67ºF today.

Saturday: look for wetter and colder conditions. While Friday looks relatively warm, Saturday will be quite the opposite. Our temps. will be falling throughout the day rather then warming and our high could come at midnight or sometime during the early morning hours right before the rains arrives and stays Saturday while changing to flurries!/ light snow showers! Saturday evening.

Sunday: Expect much the same like Saturday but minus the rain and add in flurries! Some of the models are taking much of the moisture out of our region, but since cold air can't hold moisture...I think we will (most likely places Rim and Plateau) see some flurries fly off and on Sunday morning.
