Bright & Early: Sweat It Out Edition
Good morning, Nashville. At what point does a heat wave stop being a heat wave and just become that thing we know as a Tennessee Summer? Either way, a heat advisory is now in effect for today and tomorrow as sky-high humidity nudges the heat index into the dangerous zone of 110 degrees and we’re [...]
Bright & Early: Strike Three Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was another rough night for us in the storm department, and more than 16,900 customers are still without power this morning according to NES. Yet another storm system plowed through the state overnight carrying some nasty straight line winds, a few tornado scares and a whole lot of lightning with it. [...]
Bright & Early: Is It Really May Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Brrr! We’re standing strong and repeating the mantra “we will not turn on the heat in May,” but we’re probably fighting a losing battle as temperatures won’t return to the 70′s until Thursday. The good news is that this chilly weather has been confusing the cicadas, silencing their noisy song at least [...]
Happy Hour: Skate On By
The roads definitely cleared up a bit today, but they’re expected to re-freeze overnight. So be careful! [WKRN] Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford and Sumner County schools are all closed tomorrow along with most others in the midstate. [WSMV] People are predictably upset about how TDOT handled the situation, though TDOT maintains that they did their best. [...]
Bright & Early: Groggy Monday Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Monday. It’s going to be a short one this morning: Don’t count on too much snow tonight and tomorrow. At the moment, we’re pretty much looking at a half-inch or less. [Nashville WX] And again, TDOT has been putting down brine ahead of the expected snow. Except they’re running out [...]
Bright & Early: In The Spotlight Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The story of Belmont University’s alleged decision to part ways with women’s soccer coach Lisa Howe because of her sexuality has been making the rounds to several national media outlets over the past few days, drawing fire from students, faculty, alumni and advocacy groups alike. Earlier this week, Coach Howe released her [...]
Bright & Early: Fear The Bellevue Beaver Edition
Good morning, Nashville. There have been some indisputably great moments in Nashville’s history which have included everything from #TheSituation2010 to last year’s Christmas Tree Fail, but what happened last night may well have topped them all. Reports began to surface yesterday afternoon that a dead human body had turned up in Bellevue. Sad, right? A [...]
Bright & Early: Highly Suspicious Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’re having a rough time tearing ourselves away from the miner rescue livestream long enough to peruse the local headlines, so we’re going to get right to it this morning: The morning began with a suspicious backpack near several important buildings which shut down parts of James Robertson Parkway, 2nd Avenue and [...]
Bright & Early: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The TVA is starting up a new program in April to sell electricity to distributors at rates that vary throughout the day, meaning that once NES adopts the system, we could pay higher rates around peak hours during the day and lower rates at night. This system is intended to encourage us [...]
