Enjoy another great day today with temperatures reaching the mid 70 this afternoon in the sunshine. 

Tomorrow will still be a fairly nice day, but clouds will be on the increase during the afternoon hours.  Highs should still reach the 70s.

However, on Tuesday we may see some rains from what will be the remnants of Hurricane Ida.  Some models forecast 2-3″ of rain, while others only see 1/2-1″.  We will keep you updated on that. 

For our friends along the Gulf Coast, this is not going to be a major hurricane, but still could have some hurricane force gusts despite becoming an e”xtra-tropical cyclone” by then.

 In our previous entry, we mentioned how Sunday’s weather would be a repeat of Saturday’s, and maybe a degree or two warmer.   Enjoy it!

If you click on the video forecast to the right, you will see that Tropical Storm Ida in the western Caribbean is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico and near the Florida Panhandle by Tuesday.  By the time it nears shore, it should only be an extra-tropical low. 

We may see the “fringes” of the moisture from the remnants of Ida, especially in our southeastern counties on Tuesday.  We’ll keep you posted.

Temperatures soared to 74 degrees in Nashville this afternoon, 12 degrees above normal!  The abundant sunshine didn’t hurt.  What a fantastic day it was.  However, with the sun now set, temps are cooling down rapidly and will drop to upper 40s by daybreak in the city, with some mid 40s north and east of town.

However, after the cool start, Sunday should be a copy of Saturday, maybe a degree or two warmer!  Enjoy it.  After all it is November and this can’t last forever!

After a few passing clouds this morning, temperatures will soar into the upper 60s to near 70 this afternoon under mostly sunny skies.  Some cloud cover will linger for a few more hours in our eastern counties.

Tonight, another front will push through the area, but like the last few, it will be dry (meaning no rain) and will only cool us down a little bit.  Tomorrow’s highs will be in the low 60s.

The News 2 City Cam Hawk returned today (we showed him to you a couple of weeks ago), taking his perch high atop the spire over the Sommet Center.  He comes back every fall.  I guarantee that there will be no mice or rodents near Broadway and 5th Avenue!

A Freeze Warning is in effect for much of Middle Tennessee from midnight tonight-6am Wednesday morning.  Most areas should drop to 32 or below for several hours overnight.  In the heart of the city (including the official thermometer at the airport), the temperature  may stop at about 33-34 degrees, but once you get away from the concrete and asphalt of Nashville, 29-32 degree readings are likely.

A Freeze Warning is defined as such:

FREEZE WARNING:

A Freeze Warning means sub freezing temperatures are imminent or highly likely.  These conditions will kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.

On Wednesday, expect some clouds to push in during the morning to midday hours with some clearing in the afternoon and highs in the low 60s.

After September went down as the 2nd wettest ever in Nashville, October followed up as the 5th wettest.  October is usually our driest month of the year, but ended with a 3.62″ surplus!  The ironic thing is that in the 7 Day Forecast we have no significant rain chances for the first week of November (only a slim chance on Wednesday).

Expect to scrape the windshields tomorrow morning with abundant frost across Middle Tennessee, but by the afternoon hours, the thermometer should rebound to the mid 60s.

We have already seen frost in most areas this fall, but be ready to spend some extra time scraping that windshield before you head off to work tomorrow morning.  We expect 35 in the city, but freezing temps possible outside of town, especially north and east of town.

After the frosty start though, temps will rebound nicely in the sunshine to mid 60s by the afternoon hours.

Temps dropped into the mid to upper 30s this morning. The dense fogwas restricted to our east and southeast counties where visibilities were below 1/4 mile.

The rest of our Sunday should  be sunny, crisp, and cool.  The temperature will slowly climb to barely reach the upper 50s to near 60 by around 3pm today.  Tonight, temps will quickly fall when the sun goes down.  A Frost Advisory is in effect from midnight to 7am Monday.  You’ll need that windshield scaper tomorrow morning when you head back to work.

If you are going to the Titans game tonight, it will be near 60 at game time (3:05pm) in the sunshine.  But sunset is now 4:51pm, so it will be dark before half time.  Temps will quickly drop through the 50s to the upper 40s by the end of the game, so dress warm.  But it will be a great night for football.  Go Titans!

Drive carefully if you are out Sunday morning as we expect fog to be likely across most of Middle Tennessee.  After the fog burns off we will see a nice day with plenty of sunshine.  By afternoon, temps should just inch up to near 60 for a high.  But another chilly night is in store.

If you are headed to the Titans game, dress warm.  Although game time temps may be comfortable in the sunshine, the sun will be setting before halftime and temps will be dropping through the 50s, to near 49 by the end of the game.  By Monday morning lows should be in the mid to upper 30s.
