Not much to update this Thursday in the weather department. Midday temperatures are in the lower 60s and afternoon highs should nudge 70 degrees around 4 or 5 pm. Current conditions are here. Friday looks good: another cool morning but a developing southeast breeze puts us in the lower and middle 70s tomorrow afternoon with continued sunshine. The weekend system is an interesting one in that there’s plenty of wind energy aloft but minimal instability (dynamics, but no thermodynamics). That will likely keep severe weather out of the picture, but we’ll expect showers and thundershowers both days with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s. I’m playing in a golf tournament down in Spring Hill this Saturday so the pressure is on for dry weather. That’s going to be a tough order; I’ve already told the organizer that we’ll plan for wet weather and hope I’m wrong. Rain or not, I’m a lot more concerned about my golfing ability than my weather prediction. Fore! This is a good opportunity to link to a funny story from the boss of the boss.

Any ideas about the system on Saturday? Do you think it will be storms for the marathon? Or, just some rain?
It will be a tough call, but rain Saturday morning is not 100% just yet. The system will be just to our west but a leading edge of showers or t’showers may push across the area as early as Saturday mid to late morning. I’m hoping we can squeeze out a few dry hours that morning; we’ll watch the models carefully this afternoon and tomorrow. Not as nice as last year’s cloudy and cool marathon weather; that’s for sure.
Off to lunch!
Justin,
Thanks for the link to the golfing story. That was very funny. Needed a little entertainment added to my otherwise slow day!
Justin, I can hardly type after reading that golf story. I’ve never even played golf and it was still way too funny!
wildickson be out of scholl sunday cauz of stroms?
Is there anyway to get rid of the dickson kid? He;s really annoying.
I don’t think so, Jeremy…and now, I think we have “Drive-by Anons from Dickson”…Copycats…
’sigh’
Sorry guys.. that was me. I just couldn’t resist.
Chris H… The capitol “A” in Anonymous was a hint…. The REAL Dickson kid doesnt use any caps. He has visited enough that us regulars to the news 2 blog know this. LOL At least I think that’s how Servocrow knew.
I think we should all go with pitchforks and torches and track down the Dickson kid. I mean, it is really stupid to ask, is dickson gonna to get out of scholl tommorow?
Anyway else agree?
Chris….you are very naughty!!! I don’t think you are the first “drive-by anon” and likely, won’t be the last….
Christina…I get that “spidey” sense sometimes about things…hee hee
Jeremy…the pitchforks and torches NEVER stopped the Frankenstein monster from coming back- ’sigh’….I’m afraid we’ll just be headed for more sequels…
lets all do lunch sometime …meet the faces behind the names…..
we should do that mark in laverne
we all could meet somewhere nice like Olive Garden and have lunch everyone dutch tho and maybe do this about once a month to meet and greet
I would be up for a lunch. Is it safe to assume that most of us work in or around Nashville? I live in MJ and work in Nashville.
Count me in. I’m always up for lunch. In case anybody doesn’t know, I work in the Boro, live in Smyrna.
Does anyone know of a free service that sends a text message to your cell phone when there is a severe weather alert.
SigMan, I think that depends on the provider…I hope someone else can chime in for sure about this…I thought Verizon was one that did.
You may have to call your carrier.
I know other places (like the Weather Channel…does it for a fee, but I don’t know how much it is.) I am not sure if the Premium Predictor service offers cell phone alerts, but that is a pay service too.
I’m in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
