A stationary front continues to meander across Middle Tennessee. The front divides mild air to the south from chilly air up north. The front slid through Nashville last hour and dropped temperatures dramatically. At 1:00 pm it was 70 degrees with a breeze from the south at 7 mph. By 2:00 pm, the wind was northwest at 10 mph and dropped the temperature to 61 degrees!
To illustrate how dramatic the temperature contrast is along the front, consider the following. At 2:00 pm, the stationary front was right along the southern border of Davidson County. In Forest Hills (north of the front) it was a chilly 58 degrees with a northeast breeze. A mere 4 miles to the south in Brentwood, it was a balmy 69 degrees with a south wind. What a difference a few miles can make!
Can anyone post the URL’s for the GFS & Euro models that are discussed here-as well as a quick guide on how to read them?
Thanks!
Yeah that front has been flirting with this area all day.. Go outside for an hour get some work done, and then get ran back in with a north wind and colder temps, then take the jacket off.. That is some front.. Im not getting excited about the models just yet.. *fingers crossed though!!*
Jammer,
This is what I look at as far as gfs. Some1 else might have the Euro link. The last run of the day is just coming out on the gfs.
