Sorry for the late post today, having some computer issues again. Anyway we awake this morning to some fog and overcast skies with temperatures pleasantly in the mid 60’s. Two different forecasts for middle Tennessee today; out east on the Plateau rain and clouds pretty much through the day with highs barely hitting 80. To the southwest of Nashville around Columbia and Centerville more sunshine and highs in the mid-80’s. I expect the fog to clear and we’ll enjoy partly cloudy skies around the Nashville area through early afternoon when clouds will start to develop from the daytime heating. That should keep the highs in the low 80’s but if the sun shines into the afternoon it could easily hit 85.

Ernesto will hit the North/South Carolina border late tonight, forecast to almost hurricane strength. Its really winding up quickly this morning off the coast of Georgia so stay tuned. Still thinking it’ll bring more in clouds and north, northwest winds for middle Tennessee than rain but the plateau could be seeing some tropical rain starting tonight. August ends on a cool note that lasts across the holiday season.
