Hot Today and Thunderstorms Tomorrow

at 7:53 AM 0 Great Comments

Hottest day so far this year occurred yesterday with a high of 89°. We'll top that easily today with highs in the lower to middle 90's across the area. Be sure to observe standard heat precautions if you're outdoors today during the heat of the day.

Tonight we will have a 30% chance of storms after midnight, most likely toward sunrise and a low of 70°. Storms will stay in the forecast for Thursday with cooler temps. Highs in the mid 80's. Thursday night will clear with much cooler temps around 60°. Pleasant on Friday with plenty of sunshine and a high near 80°.

The weekend promises (for now) sunny skies and highs in the upper 80's and lows in the upper 60's.

Good Changes In The Forecast

at 11:08 PM 0 Great Comments

If there is good news from a tropical storm system, we've gotten it.

Originally, we were looking at some pretty significant rains through the weekend, but chances have decreased dramatically and we will have a fantastic weekend with the best day being Saturday with highs in the upper 70's to around 80°. Only a slight chance for thunderstorms on Sunday with highs in the mid 80's.

I do think we'll have a slight chance for rain on Friday with an occasional thunderstorm but it won't be an all-day rain out.

We see rain chances each day starting next week but they aren't that great (for now).

Updated Severe Potential This Weekend

at 12:22 PM 0 Great Comments

Welcome to the first week of June.

The month of May was quite exciting with a bunch of rainfall (with 5-6" amounts common in the area and 3+ inches during May 4-5), warm weather (high of May 20-21), and chilly weather (lows in the mid 30's on the 13th) . Just another typical month of Tennessee weather in the spring time of the year.

We are watching a potentially developing situation for later tonight and early Sunday across the Upper Cumberland. There is the potential for strong to severe storms with large, damaging hail, strong winds, and heavy rainfall with frequent lightning in the region. The main threat will be from damaging straight-line winds. Localized flooding will be possible in the areas that receive the heaviest rainfall.

The greatest potential for storms today (Saturday) will be back to our west near the Tennessee River area.

Our main threat will be during the overnight hours of Saturday night and sunrise on Sunday although we may see some heavier showers and thunderstorms develop this afternoon during the heat of the day and continue after the strongest line comes through on Sunday morning.

The upcoming week will feature a variety of weather including sunshine, a chance for storms and highs mainly in the 80's.
