MM’s Severe Wx Concerns
Rain, heavy at times, will overspread the plateau Wednesday though Thursday. There are indications that 2-4 inches of rain may fall. As you can see on the forecast map below, the heaviest of the rain may stay just off to our west. Still, we need to be mindful that this system has the potential to produce lots of rainfall for our area, too, though the threat for widespread flooding looks low.
MM’s Winter Wx Concerns
Some guidance is suggesting that there could be some light snow and sleet on the backside of all the rain Thursday night and early Friday morning. Details are very unclear but precip amounts with that continue to look light. Still, stay tune and keep in mind that travel Thursday night and Friday morning may be affected by some light wintry precip. I’ll keep you posted.
On This Day in Wx History
1951- Five inches of snow and ice fall, much of it during the evening, producing a water equivalent of 3.83″. This is the greatest one-day precipitation event for January in Nashville’s history.

MM News
The next MM kids class will be in February. Class is FREE. If you would like to be added to the email list for class notifications just send me an email to meteorologistmark@gmail.com.
An adults class will also be offered next month at TCAT to discuss the severe weather we’ve had this winter. The class is free but any donation goes toward my monthly class for kids at TCAT. Right now I’m raising money to buy tablets for the classes. These tablets will allow students to hold animated weather and space events right in their hands! I have raised $400 thus far, with another $1600 needed.
