This time of the year, we could be in the mid 90’s with horrendous humidity (sound like last week?), so a high of 85 with dew points in the low 60’s is not so bad!
Our normal high is 87, so our forecast is for a few degrees below normal.
Like Lisa, I had all but given up on any t-storm chances yesterday evening after my long winded blog yesterday about that trough and short wave swinging southeastward. Then, lo and behold, those storms in Kentucky and Robertson Counties in Tennessee made their way (courtesy of an outflow boundary) into parts of Nashville and the north part of Middle Tennessee from about I-40 northward. Not all of Nashville received rain, but some got a good soaking. The airport only had .07″ but nearby Percy Priest had .52″ (indicative of what the Hermitage area received).
A Few Others:
Old Hickory: .25″
Clarksville: .04″
Port Royal .37″
Springfield: .75″
Portland: .26″
Lebanon: .06″
Sparta: .71″
Crossville: 1.99″ (behind stalled front)
I received onlyl about .01″ of rain, but I hate to complain after all the severe storms we dealt with during April and May.
How dry I am….
Great post. This was so interesting. Thank you for posting it. Best I’ve seen in explanations.
