Warm, humid and a little more cloud cover today.
Temperatures are ALREADY running in the low 80s and I expect many to reach the mi 80-degree mark.
Not a whole lot poppin’ on our 4WARN Live Doppler Radar here but that will soon change!
Here’s why…
An area of low pressure currently over Oklahoma will continue pushing east, increasing our chance of showers and storms, especially late tonight and especially for area north of the I-40 corridor.
Here’s a good idea of the timing…
Some of these storms could be strong to severe, with the best chance over northwest Middle Tennessee. Areas under the YELLOW are under a ‘Slight Risk’ (2 on a 1 to 5 scale) and areas under the GREEN color are under a ‘Marginal Risk’ (1 on a 1 to 5 scale) of any storms reaching severe criteria. Damaging winds will be the greatest threat.
You will want to keep the umbrella handy on Friday! Widespread showers and non-severe isolated thunderstorms are expected during the day before just a few scattered showers linger into Friday evening plans.
Clouds and rain will combine to bring a noticeably cooler day, only reaching the upper 60 to lower 70-degree range…
With dew points in the low to mid 60s, it will still feel humid out there…little extra hair spray never killed anybody. 🙂
Drum roll for the GOOD NEWS! Momma will be happy for her special day. Infact, the entire weekend is a win. Radiant sunshine both days, mid 70s on Saturday and summer-like lower 80s on Sunday.
If you forgot Mother’s Day was this weekend, that was your friendly reminder!
I’ll have the full shower and storm breakdown coming up on Channel 4 at 4 & 4:30 today! Chief Meteorologist Lisa Spencer will have updates at 5, 6 and 10 tonight!
