Well, after a few stray morning showers that we saw from that increasing moisture in the region, we recovered nicely and cleared out for another beautiful Sunday with widespread upper 80s having been the story for most of us. Skies were mostly clear despite that atmospheric moisture with only some patchy upper level clouds, but those will increase through tonight and into tomorrow as we keep a similar pattern to kick our week off.
Indeed as a result we’re still keeping an eye out for those spotty shower chances into our Monday as expected – we are by no means expecting a washout but models do remain consistent in painting a picture of a handful of us catching some sprinkles on our way into work or on our way to drop the kids off at school. Indications suggest the better shot at these showers will be relegated to the first half of the day, so by the Afternoon we’ll likely be shaking those showers off. Highs will be in the upper 80s/near 90 once more, so if you aren’t getting sprinkled on, you’ll have a solid day to work with.
In fact we see relatively minimal temperature variations through the week with 90s returning midweek on the whole, but overall the variations for our highs are only within a ~5 degree margin all the way through to next weekend (notably the last weekend of this summer), so we’re certainly not immediately flipping the switch into fall, but that isn’t how the climate of the Tennessee Valley typically works, so this isn’t too surprising.
Besides the isolated early week showers it’s also worth watching the end of the week (towards Friday) for the potential of an additional round of showers and isolated T’Storms. Models have waffled back and forth slightly as to the exact timing and placement of this potential rain chance but current indications are that the bulk of the rain will be off to our west, with some isolated moisture creeping into our area which is just enough to introduce those aforementioned chances for us. Currently a washout is not expected, but let’s still keep that in the back of our mind for our end-of-week plans.
All and all no one particular day in fact looks like a washout, more than anything the chances of rain through the week are rather spotty to isolated, such as kicking off our workweek. Perhaps I’d keep my umbrella in the car nonetheless, but when we’re not getting showers we have rather nice conditions on tap!
