Today’s forecast plays out a lot like yesterday’s: dry for many areas but there is a chance of thunderstorms (mainly east of I-65). Early morning temperatures are in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Fog is thick in some spots along the Cumberland Plateau; patchy fog is also a possibility in other areas this morning. Afternoon temperatures will hit the middle 80s. Despite a north breeze at 5 to 10 mph the humidity will linger. I can’t rule out an isolated thunderstorm for Nashville later today, but that chance should mainly remain east of Music City and the I-65 corridor where a stationary front is stretched across eastern sections of Tennessee. Slow-moving storms may bring heavy rain to some spots in that direction. A disturbance swinging in from the northwest later today may prompt a few spotty showers before the weekend wraps up. All in all: not a great threat of rain today for Nashville, but Storm Tracker should show a few thunderstorms as we get into the afternoon.
Goodmorning all! Sounds like watering my garden will be in this mornings plans. Can’t count on those scattered showers to do it for me but IF they do this afternoon, I will at least be able to cancel tomorrow mornings hosing!
Ate our first red ripe garden maters yesterday! YUM…
Anyone else have ripe maters yet?
We got a really good soaking yesterday morning and I see we are in for some Indian Fog this day (a-patchy here, a-patchy there…say it out loud, it’s funny!). I remember local Met, Tom Wills at Louisville’s WAVE-3 coming up with that one years ago.
No red maters, yet…several green ones. We planted ours later and they aren’t in the BEST area…I WILL have to resist the temptation to fry some fresh green maters up though…YUMMERS!!!
We had a couple of ripe maters and picked them….. only to find bird bites in them.
We strung up some coke cans, hope that helps. Anyone got any other idears?
I must confess, my very first red ripe mater was nibbled on and I picked it to give to my sons box turtles who devoured it right down to the stem. Years ago, I had a small fence around my garden to keep the rabbits out but it was more trouble than it was worth. I have seen people use the cheap tin pie plates strung up like your coke cans. Check out this site for more deterents it has several that I may try if my “wascally wabbits” get worse:
