Rainy Turkey Day Turns Chilly

Southern Tennessee
November 25, 2010

Currently: As of 6pm a line of heavier rain and isolated thunder associated with a cold front is stretched along a line from Macon County, TN to Williamson County, TN to Wayne County, TN. Some gusty winds upwards of 30mph could also accompany this line of showers. I believe the severe weather threat has diminished for tonight. A wintry mix is located out west from southern Missouri to central Illinois. 30 Degrees in Springfield, Mo, 50 Degrees in Memphis, TN and 70 Degrees in Nashville, TN. As one can note, a drastic shift in temperatures will occur over the next 12 hours. Lows tomorrow morning will br around the freezing mark. As the colder air filters into middle Tennessee later tonight there is a slight chance that the ending showers could mix with a few sleet pellets. No accumulation is expected and this should not cause any travel concerns as of right now.

Friday: What a chilly day it will be. Highs will struggle into the mid 40's. A stray snow flurry cannot be ruled out tomorrow morning but very unlikely. The weather should clear out later tomorrow afternoon but like stated before, very chilly conditions.

Saturday- Sunday: A sunny and clear weekend with highs in the low to mid 50's. Lows Saturday night will dip into the 30's and Sunday night into the 40's.

Monday-Tuesday: Storm system with a strong cold front will bring storms and heavy rain to the area for the start of the week. Very cold weather will move in behind this system. There is a possibility that some areas in northern middle Tennessee could see this system end as some light snow. Will not include for our area at this time however since temperatures will be slightly warmer and precip will be moving out rather quickly behind cold front.

Happy Thanksgiving

Strong Storm Moving This Way

A severe storm capable of producing a tornado is now located in Hardin County, Tennessee. This storm bears watching as it moves toward Wayne County, Tennessee in our area. Stay tuned.

Quick Look At Things

Scattered showers are pushing out of our area this afternoon. Things will stay relatively dry until tomorrow night when more rain and thunderstorms push into our. Some of the rain could be heavy at times. Much colder air arrives for black Friday. Highs on Friday will struggle to top 45 degrees. Bundle up shoppers. The weather clears out for the weekend with more showers and storms arriving early to mid next week.

Evening Thoughts

Some patchy fog will develop overnight because of todays rain and storms. Lows will drop down to the lower 40's. A chance of thunderstorms tomorrow but even greater chance comes on Thanksgiving. Colder air rushes in on Thanksgiving night as the moisture pulls away and brings a very chilly start for Black Friday. Bundle up shoppers. Over the weekend, things clear out and temperatures moderate.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning

Rainy Start Today

Brief heavy rain is moving across the area this morning. Please allow enough time if headed out this morning and drive carefully.

Evening Thoughts

Gonna talk just for a minute about the upcoming week and what weather to expect. You can find the updated forecast for Southern Tennessee in the forecast tab at the top of the page as well as a holiday week breakdown graphically in the special forecast section.

Monday- Last dry day for a few days. Very warm.
Tuesday-Thanksgiving- Rain, some heavy at times. 1-2 inches when all is said and done. Drought reliever for some areas of Tennessee.
Thanksgiving Night-Friday Morning- Much colder air rushes into Middle Tennessee. A few snowflakes could mix in with the rain for areas along the northern Cumberland Plateau but do not believe we have to deal with any wintry weather from this system here in Southern Tennessee.
Long Range- Things will remain chilly as we enter early December and a few storms tracking through the east could cause some wintry tricks. This period will be one to be watched as far as any serious winter weather threats.

Warm Sunny Afternoon

What a beautiful Sunday it is. Mostly sunny conditions are present across the area with highs this afternoon expected to peak near 72 degrees. Even better, lows tonight will only drop into the low 50's. Tomorrow will bring another awesome day with highs climbing into the 70's. Some rain showers will be possible late tomorrow night and we start a week of rather unsettled weather. Rain and storms are possible for the holiday followed by much colder weather. Scroll down for a post concerning my holiday forecast. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Cold Weather Ahead

Check out the latest 8-14 day temperature departure from normal map! Yikes!! Some much colder weather looks to take hold of the east as we get past the Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy the much warmer weather this early next week before winter sets in across the United States.

Holiday Weather Forecast

I will try to update this several times over the next several days to keep up an updated look at our upcoming holiday weather. It does look like some rainfall will be possible here in Tennessee for Thanksgiving. We will dry out however for Black Friday, but much colder weather will sweep into the area.

The next major cold front could bring not only rain but a chance for strong thunderstorms around Thanksgiving day. The details on this system are still be sorted out by the computer models. As we head toward the Thanksgiving holiday, cooler air will also head toward the south.  Just outside the forecast realm lies much colder weather.

Tonight: Rain will continue for a brief time this evening but is slowly drawing to a close. Expect breezy conditions as the low departs to our east. Temperatures cool off tonight into the 30's.

Wednesday-Friday: Highs typically in the upper 50's with lows in the low to mid 30's. Fairly dry weather across the area other than a few sprinkles possible late Wednesday.

Saturday-Tuesday: Highs generally in the 60's with nighttime lows dipping to the upper 30's/low 40's. Dry tranquil weather prevails for this time period.

Wednesday-Friday: Weather becomes a little more unsettled during this period with a rather powerful storm somewhere in the eastern two thirds of the US. Cold air will be poised to the north and will eventually pour into the south but may be slow at first. A possible winter storm could take shape for the northeast or mid atlantic states by late next week. Will be watching this storm for possible travel troubles concerning the Thanksgiving holiday.

Winter Is Approaching

Winter weather will soon be paying a visit to Southern Tennessee. While we wait for that lets all spend a little time to review some winter safety tips.

Winter Weather Awareness Week: November 15-19

Warmer Weather This Week

This week will bring warmer weather to the Southern Tennessee area. Highs this week will soar into the upper 60's and lower 70's. Lows at night will remain chilly dipping down into the lower 40's. The area will remain dry this week. The next chance of rain comes back around next weekend. Details on that exact system are still murky. The extended forecast looks rather chilly with the Climate Prediction Center calling for below normal temperatures in the long range. 

Snow?!?

Seems that the weather forums are talking a little about some snow falling tonight. Well, the truth is, area's in eastern Tennessee along the mountains could pick up a little snow overnight. Places such as Gatlinburg could pick up a couple of inches of snow in the higher terrain. It will be plenty cold here in south central Tennessee but I do not believe we will be seeing any snow. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow of snow up in the mountains. Just another sign that winter is right around the corner.

Freeze Watch Friday Night

...FREEZE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING... 

TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

Brr...

What a chilly miserable day it has been. Temperatures are rather chilly with drizzle and showers around. By Friday and Saturday we could be looking at highs only topping out in the low 50's. A freeze looks likely for Saturday and Sunday mornings. More updates forthcoming on our first chill of the year.
