MM’s Hourly Forecast

5-Day Forecast

MM says: It’s a good day to get outside! Enjoy the lower humidity and comfortable temps. Summer’s heat and humidity will return soon enough! Tonight is a “sleep with the window open” kinda night. Enjoy those cool overnight lows!

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook

MM says…Well above normal temps continue to show up in the extended outlooks. Those outlooks are also beginning to favor below normal rainfall. Normal highs and lows this time of year are 82°/62°.

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

Today’s weather map shows the front that brought many of us rain and storms on Monday pushing further south. This means we’ll enjoy cooler and less humid northerly breezes. It also means we’ll be dry. That dry weather will be with us through Wednesday, as that fronts stays to our south. By Thursday, that fronts beginning lifting north, increasing our rain chances once again.

MM’s Forecast Update for the Plateau

The forecast is on track! The special update I did at 11:35 is working out nicely. The severe threat does indeed appear to be staying south of our general area, with more of a heavy rain threat developing for us this afternoon. If anything, our risk for localized flash flooding has increased. I’ve updated the severe weather threat graphic, seen below.

I can’t completely rule out a severe t-storm, but those chances are quite low. A severe t-storm watch has been issued for southern Middle TN, which was to be expected. No watches are planned for our area and I don’t expect any to be issued due to the low risk, isolated nature, of any severe storm that we might get here on the plateau.

Pictured below is the same graphics I used in the last update, but with an updated radar image (radar image at 2:16). Notice the heavy rain to our west that is moving our way.

This remains unchanged. Rain continues to move in and will be overspreading the plateau over the next hour.

MM’s Forecast Update for the Plateau

Very high rain chances and gusty southerly winds remain in the forecast today, along with the risk for heavy downpours and a low-end risk for severe storms.

A boundary appears to have set up that stretches across southern Middle TN and up to the plateau this morning. South of this boundary zone is where the greatest risk for severe storms will likely set up today. I’ve marked that boundary zone with yellow lines on the radar imagery below. Within the corridor that I’ve outlined, showers and storms continue to move southwest to northeast. This would keep the greatest risk to our south. If that boundary zone lifts northward, more of the plateau would be at risk. It is encouraging that more showers and storms are moving our way along this boundary at this hour. That activity should help keep us more stable. Even if the precip doesn’t make it here with this activity in southern Middle TN right now, the clouds will and those will keep temps cooler than they would otherwise be, which would also help keep us more stable.

Right now, I’m thinking areas south of White, Cumberland and Roane counties would be at the greatest risk for a severe storm today. This may end up being more of a heavy rain event for many of us on the plateau. We certainly have favorable conditions for that!

A special weather briefing by the NWS Nashville is scheduled for 1:00 pm. If I learn anything you need to know about at that, I’ll pass it along in an afternoon update. Keep in mind that while we have a low risk for severe storms, that risk is not zero.

Within the last half hour, the Storm Prediction Center has highlighted an area that they are considering issuing a severe weather watch for this afternoon. Whether that’s a tornado or severe t-storm watch remains to be seen. The good news is that, at least for now, they’re keeping that area to our south. Those folks are warmer and have less rain activity than we do this morning. If they issue any special discussions for our area, I’ll pass that info along to you!

The timing remains unchanged from this morning. Hopefully, we at least all get some good rainfall from this system.

The threats remain unchanged from the morning update. All threats are low but not zero.

MM’s Hourly Forecast

5-Day Forecast

MM says: Today is a MM Weather Alert Day. Let’s be weather aware and stay safe in any storm that may become severe. Better weather is coming Tuesday and Wednesday!

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook

MM says…Well above normal temps are beginning to show up in the extended outlooks. Those outlooks also favor normal precip. Normal highs and lows this time of year are 81°/62°.

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

A very active frontal boundary (unusually active for June standards) will continue to press southward today. As it does so, it will encourage showers and t-storms to develop. Some storms could be severe and some of the rainfall could be very heavy. This system will slowly push on through the area tonight, giving us nicer weather for Tuesday and Wednesday.

The vorticity (spin of the air) that I talked about last night did increase with the latest data. However, it increased much more to our west than it did here. This is one reason why the tornado threat is higher to our west today.

And StormNet is picking up on that, as well. The tornado threat is greatest across southern Middle TN, decreasing as we move toward the plataeau. Still, a spin-up can’t be ruled out for anyone on the plateau this afternoon and evening.

Yesterday’s Local Weather Stats

Radar-Estimated Precip from Yesterday

MM says….There were numerous severe storms in Illinios and Indiana on Sunday. You can see the paths of some of the strongest storms in southern Illinois and southern Indiana based on the rainfall they produced, as shown on the map below. You can even see where upper-level steering winds pushed storms in southern Indiana in slightly different directions (so much splitting of winds aloft, which helps severe storms). I’ve marked those storms with yellow arrows. The more northern storms went northeastward, the one south of it cut more eastward, and the ones farthest south went southeastward. You can literally see the split-flow, diverging flow aloft that steered the severe storms. That diverging flow aloft allows storms to grow and strengthen, creating healthy updrafts that can “breathe” and intensify. Pretty cool, right?
