It is now day #8 without any measurable rainfall for us here in Cookeville, TN. I do notice a 10% chance for rainfall in the forecast for today...not going to get excited about that!
*Latest, Local Forecast*
Since the heatwave broke on August 7th, we've enjoyed a nice run of temperatures. Highs have been mainly in the lower 80's and lows have been in the 50's to right around 60°. We do see temperatures reaching into the upper 80's by early next week with an increased chance for rain.
