Weather Headlines from Channel 2 and NashvilleWX.com



Thought this painting would be an excellent representation of our weather this afternoon and tomorrow.

The NWS-Nashville has issued a Lake Wind Advisory for our area for later this afternoon through Sunday morning. Here is the text of the Advisory,


A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL STRENGTHEN RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY. STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION. ..ESPECIALLY TONIGHT...WHEN WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE. DRIVERS SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION IN THE WINDY CONDITIONS. ALSO...OUTDOOR OBJECTS SUCH AS CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS SHOULD BE SECURED. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY INDICATES THAT WINDS WILL CAUSE ROUGH CHOP ON AREA LAKES. SMALL BOATS WILL BE ESPECIALLY PRONE TO CAPSIZING.

I like the painting - who's the artist? I looked for it on the Web but "Windy Day" is a very common title apparently...
