Posted

Another Humid Day w/ Pop-Up Storms

Forecast:

Today: Partly Cloudy w/ Pop-Up Storms, Humid | High: 90 | S 5-10

Tonight: Partly Cloudy, Somewhat Muggy, Patchy Fog Poss. | Low: 72 | SSW 5-10

In Depth:

High temperatures across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky will top out in the upper 80s to lower 90s today — seasonal for August — but dewpoints in the 70s will push "feels like" temperatures into the upper 90s and lower 100s.

That trend is expected to continue into the work and school week, with the potential for heat advisories to be issued.

Pop-up storm chances are also possible throughout the week. On Tuesday, parts of Southern Kentucky are included in a 1 out of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms. The main concerns with any storms would be damaging wind and heavy downpours that could lead to flash flooding.
