Temperatures will hit the low 90s this afternoon with humidity levels on the rise for the next couple of days…

The forecast:

Plenty of sunshine will mean a warm afternoon. Humidity will be a bit more noticeable today but a breeze from the northeast will make it feel pretty nice, especially during the morning and evening hours. I can’t rule out an afternoon t’shower for areas south and east of Nashville, but that activity should be few and far between and closer to Chattanooga and Huntsville.

Have a great Sunday!

We enjoyed the 80s on Thursday and Friday - will it last through the weekend?

The forecast:

We’ll make a run at 90 degrees this afternoon in parts of Middle Tennessee. But that’s not unusual for late July - the normal high today is 89 in Nashville and I think that’s close to where we’ll end up:

The cold front that ended our “heat wave” last Wednesday has turned stationary and is falling apart off to our south. Because of that, clouds and scattered t’showers will stay to the south today and tomorrow. An added bonus for us - because we’re north of the front we’ll continue to enjoy a breeze from the north and comfortable humidity levels (for late July, anyhow).

Here’s a check of the rest of the weekend forecast.

Temperatures back to normal but decent humidity!

Only the southeastern corner of middle Tennessee has much in the way of a rain chance this weekend.
Enjoy… but don’t forget the weekend.

Nasa’s Astronomy Picture of the Day:
What looks like a sun spot in the box pulled out is actually the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Discovery in transit of the sun. Cool huh?

You can get more detail on the shuttle’s mission and find out what is lined up as the “astronomy pic” for tomorrow!

Expect a partly cloudy sky and comfortable conditions as we wrap up the work week.

The forecast:

On Thursday Nashville’s high temperature was 83 degrees - much nicer than the previous 8 days of 90+ heat. Highs today will hit the middle 80s across the mid-state. A breeze from the north will keep humidity levels comfortable for late July.

The weekend:

Temperatures will warm up a bit each day over the next several days. Dry weather and mostly sunny skies are predicted through the weekend, with highs in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees.

The tropics:

Tropical Storm Franklin had 60 mph sustained winds early this morning and was still hanging out east of the U.S. coast. Franklin is not a threat to land and should head northeast over the next few days.

For more information, head to the National Hurricane Center.

Have a good day and a great weekend!

Midday temperatures were in the low 70s in Nashville - after all of the 90 degree weather this feels fantastic! Some sun is peeking through the clouds in Nashville - that will help the numbers rise to the lower 80s this afternoon.

Areas west of I-65 and north of I-40 will see some sunshine and warm up through the afternoon, but areas east of Nashville (especially southeast) will hold onto the clouds through the day.

Here’s a satellite map of the cloud cover across Tennessee.
