FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS — TODAY, TOMORROW, & MONDAY
Today, tomorrow, and Monday are all First Alert Weather Days. Very humid weather will continue through the next several days. Each afternoon, in some areas, the heat index will reach or even exceed 100° because of building heat outside of storms. Continue using the heat precautions you’ve been taking for several days now. High temperatures each afternoon will reach the low 90s in Nashville. A few spots could even touch the mid 90s.
At times and in some areas, cooling showers and thunderstorms will provide relief. Torrential downpours could lead to sudden strong wind gusts, so remain weather aware. Watch for quick developing areas of localized flash flooding, too.
Showers and thunderstorms will be most prevalent during the mid to late afternoon each day. They will be least widespread during the morning.
TUESDAY’S FORECAST
Morning: Cloudy with a few showers and thunderstorms. Low, 72.
Afternoon: Spotty showers and thunderstorms under lots of clouds. High, 87.
Evening: Drying gradually behind a cold front. Temperatures will settle back through the 70s.
WEDNESDAY & BEYOND
Slightly less humid weather will build in for Wednesday through Friday. The rain chance will drop to near zero as well.
Wednesday and Thursday look seasonable with lows in the upper 60s for most. Highs will be typical as well, in the low 90s.
Hotter weather looks likely for the 4th of July weekend. Highs from Friday through next Sunday generally be in the mid 90s under lots of sunshine. We’ll have moderate humidity. Count on lows in the low 70s. The rain chance will build to only 20% or so, so the weather looks outstanding for pool, lake, or backyard barbecue plans.
