Sun Cloud Mix And Hot, Isolated/Clusters Storms

Monday, September 15 —

Good Morning West Tennessee. A bit of a tricky forecast today. This morning we are starting out areas of showers and storms, mainly along the US 641/Tennessee Rive corridor. The eastern leg of the larger scale Omega block has set up a persistent, near stationary trough over the southeastern US. The far western side of said trough is along the aforementioned boundary. The convergence is leading to scattered showers and storms, this will probably continue through late morning. For the rest of West Tennessee We are under the blocking pattern, but south of the core of the worst heat/tallest heights. with less compression temps will probably only push into the low-mid 90s at the warmest point of the day. Nevertheless, with the additional humidity it will still be quite hot with heat index becoming more of a factor compared to last week that is. The combination of weaker ridge, more moisture and weak /subtle outflow boundaries around, can’t rule out more isolated storms today pretty much anywhere. We’re still looking at 20-30% probability, thankfully the rain is very much needed and welcome.
