If you actually want that then you are officially the devil. If Nashville is 100 in May then I can't imagine what Memphis would be.
Memphis tops out at 100 in an average year. It's usually in July or August. Anyway who's to say that if Nashville hits 100, so will Memphis? Yeah, if Nashville's 100, Memphis could easily be 105. It could also easily only hit 97.
Well Nashville gets to 90 in most Mays. Bowling Green, KY hit 100 on May 28, 1911. But Nashville only hit 96 that day. It's been over a century but Bowling Green DID hit 100, whereas Nashville hasn't even managed 97! Memphis has also never hit 100 in May, with a record high of 99.
Both locations (Nash and BG) have hit 105 in September. The hottest temperature of the year has been recorded in September 6 times out of 69 years (1948-2016) but never May, there has been a June 1 though.
Nashville's hit 95 in May as recently as 2012. Every year this decade except for 2013 has gotten to 91 or higher. That's just 5 degrees from the record high. Average high on May 31 is 82 degrees.
Here's what I hope happens: A relatively short lived "dry" heat wave, maybe 5 days of 90+ temps, coming from the southwest, in the last days of May. On the peak day of the heat wave, high of 101 or so in Nashville and 100-101 in Memphis. After that, a relatively "traditional" summer with average temperatures and the hottest day in the high 90s in July or August. If September, which IS FALL, can have the hottest day of the year about 10 percent of the time, why can't May? This would be the heat wave that would say "$^#! seasonal lag"
Something like this for Nashville:
May 24: 86/65
May 25: 87/66
May 26: 92/68
May 27: 97/71
May 28: 101/74
May 29: 96/68
May 30: 91/66
May 31: 87/63
This mornings Upper Heights and Temps at 5000'. "The Arctic Tongue"
What do you get when its 15° at 5000' and low 30s at the surface? Instability. Just had snow flurries again.
Sounding over Long Island this morning confirms it's 15°F at 5k. Very cold airmass for Mid March but nothing extreme
It's cold for March 16th lol. This morning it was 18° F when I left, and we got about another 0.5" of lake effect overnight. Arctic tongue definitely overhead, but not record breaking. Our record low for today is still 0° F
The weather this morning is rather bitter for this time of year, temperatures are still below freezing as of 11 am in the Indianapolis area with wind chills still below 20 Degrees in a few of the cold pockets in the outlying suburbs of Indianapolis.
Looks like there is a possibility of minor icing North of Indianapolis tonight through early tomorrow, I guess Punxsutawney Phil was right about spring being late this year after all.

43f for a low this morning. When the winds are dead calm the temp drops so much more where i live. Since i am right on the gulf any wind at nite blowing off the gulf keeps my temps way up. I need to have wind out of NNE to get my coldest as my part of the county sticks out in the gulf so even dead north of me 13 miles there is gulf water.
