To no one`s surprise, the sun is out without any impediments -- for
now. Temperatures have already climbed into the 70s just about
everywhere in Middle TN and dew points in the upper 50s are making
for just a glorious day. We`re headed into the mid 80s for everyone
west of the Plateau and folks on the Plateau can expect afternoon
highs to almost touch 80. That said, as we get into the afternoon
hours, clouds will start to percolate and I can`t believe I have to
do this, but I need to throw in a low PoP (15-20%) in our northwest
for late this afternoon/early this evening. The last several runs of
CAMs are suggesting a storm or two could pop up. Impacts should be
extremely limited. While our weather will continue to be controlled
by upper level ridging over the next couple of days, the ridge is
expected to weaken a bit tomorrow and Saturday and this should help
temperatures be a couple of degrees cooler. However, we will remain
4-5 degrees above seasonal norms.

Of course, the main question on everybody`s mind is when will we
have more rain. Models seem to be really starting to hone in on
Monday for a low chance (25-30%), then things become a little more
widespread on Tuesday and Wednesday (40-50%). The NBM and other
global ensembles seem to be in better agreement about this today.
The other thing we`re seeing better agreement in is the passage of a
cold front on Wednesday. Of course, that begs the question about
thunderstorms. As of right now, forecast soundings are very
unimpressive. 30 kts of shear with some instability would open the
door for general thunderstorm, but sub-6 deg lapse rates and no
helicity would keep us from having much more than that. For now,
that means no mention of severe weather, but the passage of the cold
front should finally get temperatures back where they belong by this
time next week.
