After all, it is autumn! A fast moving cold front brought some showers and northerly winds over 20 mph overnight. Left behind will be quite a few clouds this morning, but they should clear from west to east this afternoon. Temperatures though will be the big story over the next 24 hours…readings may not get back to 70 later this afternoon as the sun returns. That will set up a pretty chilly evening tonight with lows ranging from 41 in Lewisburg (one of the normal cool spots) to 48 in downtown Nashville. Even I’m going to shut off my air conditioner this afternoon!
The cooler air won’t last long though. As you can see in the 7 day forecast above, we’ll be back into the lower 80’s this weekend with sunshine.
The next powerful cold front looks like it may come through sometime around Wednesday or Thursday next week.
As I mentioned yesterday, the tropics may be starting to get active again. The National Hurricane Center http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ will be send an aircraft into a disturbance in the Carribean this morning…a depression may be located later today. Other maps I have been looking at hint at a system near Florida the middle of next week too!
