Changes Ahead…

Today into Wednesday will offer up more of what we’ve grown so accustomed to over the past several days- incredibly humid air, along with scattered heavy thunderstorms.  Similar to days past, the humid, “heavy” nature to our air will help fuel localized torrential downpours.

Thankfully, the hour glass has been “flipped” and time is running out on the humid air mass.  In fact, as early as Thursday morning, we’ll notice a huge change.  A northeast flow will provide a much drier brand of air and temperatures will also cool significantly.  Several mornings (Thursday through Sunday) will feature lows in the 50s with highs in the 70s.  Lows into the upper 30s will drive southeast into the high ground of the beautiful east TN mountains.

The balance of the first half of September looks warm, but there are indications for changes to begin showing up towards mid to late month that would lead towards more sustained, consistent pushes of cool…

Well-Earned Break From The Heat, Humidity On Deck…

  • Scattered storm chances remain for now
  • Drier and much cooler air on deck
  • Dry, but hot Labor Day looms

Breath Of Fresh Air Awaits…Once we get through the next (48) hours, a much more pleasant, early fall-like, air mass awaits.  Beforehand, we still have plenty of heat and humidity to deal with, along with the all-too-familiar mention of scattered (but heavy) thunderstorms.  Thankfully, a cold front will push through the state Wednesday night into Thursday morning and usher in a much cooler and drier air mass to wrap up the work week and head into the long holiday weekend.  High pressure will supply a refreshing northeasterly flow Thursday into Friday, supporting breezy conditions and much cooler air.  It’ll be the type air mass that will make you take notice fall isn’t that far off, after all.

As we push closer to Labor Day, itself, our air flow will back around to the southwest and assist with a warmer and increasingly moist brand of air for the holiday, into the majority of the Week 2 period…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″-0.75″ (locally heavier totals)

An Early Taste Of Fall…

Screen Shot 2016-08-21 at 11.51.52 AMHighlights:

  • Cooler and mostly sunny
  • Dry weather into the early parts of the work week
  • Midweek storms

Early Fall Preview…A cold front swept through the state last night and was accompanied by strong storms and heavy rain.  The unsettled conditions are now to our east and in return we’re left with a much cooler, drier, and breezy day.  With low humidity, temperatures running significantly below normal, and a NW breeze in place, you have our approval to begin shifting thoughts to fall. 🙂

Dry and pleasant air will remain in place through early week before we back the air flow around to the SW.  Increasingly muggy conditions will return Wednesday into Thursday and as a cold front interacts with the moist air in place, showers and thunderstorms will be on the increase Wednesday into Thursday.  The good news?  The front should slide to our south and result in dry and pleasant conditions next weekend.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″-0.75″

Scattered Storms; Turning Much Cooler…

Screen Shot 2016-08-18 at 7.46.00 AMHighlights:

  • AM fog burns off today
  • Scattered storms
  • Much cooler air coming

Afternoon And Evening Thunder…Morning fog (some dense) will eventually burn off and give way to a muggy day.  As afternoon heating takes place, scattered evening thunderstorms are a good bet, especially north of Indianapolis.  We’ll repeat this to wrap up the work week Friday.

A cold front will take aim at the region Saturday evening and scattered showers and thunderstorms will accompany this boundary as it moves through.  A few storms could reach strong to severe levels Saturday PM as the front moves through.

Winds will shift to the NW and usher in a much cooler and drier brand of air for the second half of the weekend, continuing into the early portion of next week.  Many will likely be craving fall by early next week coming off multiple mornings with lows in the 50s.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″
