Wx Summary

June ends with a warm and increasingly humid airmass. A few storms will be found across the plateau today but most of us will stay dry. A slow-moving cold front will sag into Tennessee on Friday and will hang around through the holiday weekend, offering daily chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms.

This Week’s Hazards

Widespread severe weather is not expected, but any storm that develops could be locally strong, with deadly lightning, heavy rainfall, and gusty winds.

On This Day

1952- Temperature at Nashville reaches 106, marking the 8th consecutive day of 100+ degree readings, a record.

1908 – A giant fireball, most likely caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet flattens 80 million trees near the Stony Tunguska River in Yeniseysk Governorate, Russia, in the largest impact event in recorded history

Almanac

Hurricane Forecast

One area of low pressure is moving onshore the Texas coast this weekend, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds. That system could still develop into a tropical storm before moving fully onshore. Another area of low pressure (red x) is moving westward and could become a hurricane this weekend or early next week. It is no threat to the U.S. Yet another area of concern (yellow-shaded region) is moving into the Caribbean this weekend. That will be watched closely as it treks westward over the coming days.

Wx Summary

Humidity begins to increase a bit today, which could lead to a shower or storm on the plateau by this evening. Humidity increases a bit more tomorrow, which could lead to a few more showers and storms on the plateau. By Friday, a slow moving cold front begins sagging into the area, which is expected to lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms through the holiday weekend. The weekend is not looking like a washout, but you need to keep that storm chance in mind if you have outdoor plans. Any storm that develops could be intense (like any summer storm)

This Week’s Hazards

Any storm that develops could be locally strong, with deadly lightning, heavy rainfall, and gusty winds.

Wx Summary

Another pleasant day is in store for the plateau, with lots of sunshine and low humidity. The warmth and humidity we come to expect this time of year will begin returning on Wednesday, leading to a very slight risk for an afternoon storm. Humidity increases further on Thursday, leading to more isolated storm chances, especially in the afternoon. A slow-moving frontal boundary moving south will kick up still more showers and storms for Friday and into the holiday weekend. The weekend is not looking like a washout, but there will likely be scattered showers and storms across the plateau through that time period.

On This Day

1928- A severe weather outbreak produces five tornadoes across Middle Tennessee, beginning on the afternoon of the 28th, and continuing into the next morning. All tornadoes are classified as F2. One person is killed in Davidson County. Another 38 injuries are reported overall.

1919 –  Treaty of Versailles, ending WWI and establishing the League of Nations, is signed in France.

Almanac

Hurricane Forecast

The tropics remain active, especially for this time of year. The yellow-shaded regions only have 20% chances for development, but that will still need to be watched very closely over the coming days.

The area that has been red-shaded for the last several days is now on the brink of becoming a tropical storm. That system will stay south of the U.S. but is now expected to become the season’s first hurricane.

Wx Summary

A cold front has pushed south of the plateau, bringing us less humid and more pleasant weather for the start of our workweek. By Wednesday, the humidity begins returning, which means a return to the slightest risk for a thunderstorm in the afternoon. By Thursday that isolated storm chance increases to 20%. A storm system will approach from the west by Friday and that will bring scattered showers and storms to the region.

On This Day

1901 – There was a rain of fish from the sky at Tiller’s Ferry, South Carolina. Hundreds of fish were swimming between cotton rows after a heavy shower. (This was likely because a tornado had sucked up the fish earlier)

1929 – First color TV demo, performed by Bell Laboratories in New York City.

Almanac

Hurricane Forecast

The tropics are very active! This is more like a map we’d see in August. One area of low pressure is being watched in the Gulf. It has only a 20% chance of development and will move toward Texas. The red-shaded region will become a tropical depression or storm by Tuesday night. The yellow-shaded region in the Atlantic will be monitored as it crosses the Atlantic and enters the Caribbean later this week.
