Here's the loop past 4hrs with temps. Strong bowing type line. Storms happened in Illinois too. Temps went from 80s to 60s in Indiana. 90s in Kentucky today
Nashville hasn't got past 97 F / 36 C this summer. This is despite a 92.5 F / 33.6 C average high for August 1-19 (August so far, excluding today). Meanwhile, every day but one from July 26 to the present has hit 90+. (August 4 being the lone holdout) It's like we just hit a wall in the high 90s. No 100's since 2012.
We've had 2 97's this year, 4 96's, 3 95's, 5 94's, and 15 93's. A total of 64 days with highs of 90+. Average for 1981-2010 was 48 90+ days in a year. The record year of all time was 1954, with 96 days. Through August 19, 1954 had 67 so we're definitely in the running. It seems unlikely that we'll beat that record but if the remainder of August and September is hot, it's an outside possibility.
But no 100. Not even a 99, or a 98. It's hot. It's that stereotypical consistent "day in, day out" heat that puts the "tropical" in "subtropical".
Heat indexes have been 105+ on the hottest days, comparable to the heat indexes in the August 2007 heat wave which had actual high temperatures of 100-106 for 2 1/2 weeks.
Again, I must reiterate: it hasn't been hotter this year at all than it was on September 20 last year.
Crossville, on the plateau, hit 90 on Sun, Aug. 18 and 91 on Mon, Aug. 19, their sole 90+ readings for the year. It's been as recent as 2015 that they saw a whole year without 90+.
Wow, I see Mt. Comfort is also at 81. I remember from going to air shows there that it’s surrounded by cornfields, so that may be helping.
I thought it could have been areas that got a lot of rain from storms the past couple days but Mt Comfort showed little to no rain while IND, which was the lower of the dewpoints, did get a decent amount of rain. So that blew my theory out. All I know is it was like having a blanket wrapped around you outside before the storms but so nice after the storms passed.
Just saw that and came here to post the current radar with storm reports for past 1hr. All those icons with the arrows are storm damage reports from trees down, wires down, shingles blown off, ect. Crazy line of storms.
It got windy here on the north side of Indy and the sky looked like end of times. But we never lost power and the worst I saw driving home from work was some tree branches down. Mostly it was just a bunch of leaves blown down. My wife did have to chase one of the patio chair covers across the yard as the gust front came though.

Similar here. We haven't been past 97F (hit 97F two days) this summer.
Average of 94.2F for Aug 1-19. Highs have been in the 92-97F range between Aug 2 & 20 (high on Aug 1 was 89F).
They forecast 100°F for friday, probably/hopefully one of the summer's last comebacks this year. I am also looking forward to the autumn, which is my favorite season
In Nashville, the high temperature has been 96 F / 36 C for four straight days.
