The National Weather Service has issued a Lake Wind Advisory for all of the mid-state until 4pm. Lake or no lake, wind gusts will approach 35 to 40 mph so take it easy on the roads as you make your travels today.

Morning temperatures in the 60s with clouds and a gusty wind from the south. A line of storms will march from west to east across the mid-state from morning through the afternoon. Highs will jump into the lower 70s before the storms roll in. In Nashville, we’ll expect that line of thunderstorms to arrive around midday through the early afternoon (in the morning for folks near the Tennessee River and in the late afternoon and evening if you live toward the Cumberland Plateau). Some severe weather is possible with the storms from late morning through the afternoon, including the slim chance of an isolated tornado. Today’s weather setup doesn’t look as potent as November 15th, but we’ll keep a very close eye on things with News 2’s Storm Tracker. To check the latest for your county, utilize the “Watches and Warnings” and “NWS Radar Loop” links at the top of the blog.

Strong south winds today bring some morning rain. By afternoon we’ll have a few passing showers but also some glimpes of sunshine as we get yet another warm day across middle Tennessee. But warm weather in late November sometimes pays a price; when cold fronts finally arrive to bring us back around to “normal” highs we can experience strong storms. That’s the forecast for Monday; a line of strong storms with possible damaging winds. We’ll have the storm team up and running and watching everything on Storm Tracker. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving! It will be a nice day across the mid-state, with sunshine and dry weather. Temperatures this morning will briefly jump into the lower 50s before falling through the 40s during the afternoon thanks to a northwest wind. I expect that by 5pm temperatures will have fallen into the lower 40s in most spots:

Black Friday morning will be cold, in the 20s! Travel conditions look good through the weekend around the Mid-South and Southeast. The Great Lakes and Northeast (as well as parts of the Appalachian Mountains) will deal with wintry weather today.
