**WARM AND WINDY**
Expect a warm day across Cookeville and Middle Tennessee as high temperatures should reach at least 76° this afternoon. Winds will be from the SSW gusting to 25 mph. Only a slight chance of showers during the day. Tonight, a strong line of showers and storms rolls through between 7 and 8 pm. Winds should be gusty tonight as well...up to 35 mph. Heavy rain is expected and some of us could see up to 2". Be careful if you see water over the roadway, TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!
The weekend should be damp on Saturday with cool temperatures and light showers. Highs around 58°. Chilly Saturday night, low 40° and we finally see some sunshine on Sunday, high 59°.
**Speaking Of Rain (2009 Update)**
As of this morning, we've recorded 6.27" for the month of October. Typically we see only around 3" during this month. For the year, we stand at 67.95". If we received no more rain for the year, it would stand as the 7th wettest year ever in Cookeville. The all-time record is 76.46" recorded in 1998. If we receive just the average rainfall for November and December, it will add another 9.5" to our total and we will break the record.

Sunshine returns for Wednesday and Thursday with highs of 67° and 71° respectively. Rain, with possibly strong to severe storms, returns on Friday. We'll have more updates on that system as we get closer to the end of the week. Enjoy your day!

**COLD MORNING, WARM DAY**
Chilly start this morning across Cookeville as temperatures are in the upper 30's. The great news is we will warm quickly and end up near 70° this afternoon. A slight chance of showers this evening turns in to a much better chance for rain on Tuesday and Tuesday night. Low tonight around 48° and the high on Tuesday will only reach 60°. A nice day again on Wednesday, but rain returns for Thursday and Friday.
**RAINY OCTOBER**
Checked the amount of rain so far this month and we stand at 5.59". That is nearly double the usual amount we receive in an average October. It fits hand-in-hand with this very rainy year. We are running almost 20" ahead of normal.

Rain Beginning To Fall
Local Wunderground radar is returning echoes of rain falling across much of Middle Tennessee. Expect the intensity to pickup overnight as a strong cold front pushes towards us. A thunderstorm or two will possibly awaken you as the night goes by.
For Friday, expect the thunderstorms to continue (a 100% chance for rain)...temperatures will hold steady in the middle 60's. Friday night clears out with lows in the upper 40's, however, showers re-enter the picture for Saturday with highs only in the lower 50's. It will be a chilly day. Sunday should be filled with sunshine and highs in the mid 60's.
A HUGE THANK-YOU!

Chilly Weekend Ahead
**CHILLY AND WET**
Good morning to all across Middle Tennessee. It is a chilly Friday morning and the weekend promises much of the same. You could almost consider this a December morning instead of mid-October with temperatures in the middle 40's and wet conditions. Be sure to bundle up the kids as they head off to school. Count on a dreary (YUCKY) day today.
**THE WEEKEND FORECAST**
As we look at the forecast, you'll notice that temperatures will struggle to make it to 50° today and Saturday. By Sunday, we'll see sunshine and highs around 53°. Overnight lows will dip into the 30's by Sunday morning with possible patchy frost for many of us. Expect more widespread frost on Sunday night as lows will be in the lower 30's by sunrise Monday. Welcome to late fall.
**SNOWY WINTERS RETURN?**
By the way, a Facebook friend (Kirk Melhuish) is a well-known meteorologist (22 years with WSB RADIO) in Atlanta, GA....he thinks we may be entering (or already entered) a 'shift' in the weather pattern toward a colder pattern. This shift could bring back the winters of the 60's and 70's. If true, it could portend some interesting winters for Middle Tennessee over the next decade. Many of you who read this blog remember some of those whopper winter snowstorms of the past. Some of you remember missing an entire month of school (in the mid 70's) due ice and snow falling every 3 to 4 days and the temperatures being so cold, there was no melting. Not saying to expect this during December, January, and February...but some experts in the weather community continue to point to signs of big changes in temperatures.

Strong Storms Possible
**WATCH OUT FOR STORMS LATER**
Strong storms are possible later today in Cookeville and surrounding areas. A potent cold front is moving toward our area. Ahead of it, we are under the influence of a strong, southerly flow. Moisture is streaming up from the Gulf. When the cold front and this warm are collide, the potential for strong to severe weather exists. Look for a warm day today with highs in the upper 70's. Thunderstorms develop after lunch. Thunderstorms likely tonight through midnight with lows around 56°. High of only 62° on Saturday with light rain. It will be a wet, mostly cloudy, and bleak Saturday. Sunshine returns on Sunday with a high of 67°. Keep an eye to the sky today!
Radar Links are located just to the right of this post. They are very helpful on days like today.

Overnight Tornado Watch
**Potential Severe Weather Friday**
As you can tell on the following maps, a TORNADO WATCH (#761) has been issued for portions of West Tennessee. While this watch isn't for our immediate area, the potential exists on Friday for strong afternoon and evening thunderstorms. These storms could be accompanied with strong wind gusts, large and damaging hail, and frequent lightning strikes.
Our friend, Davis Nolan (at NEWS 2 and NashvilleWX.com), has an interesting post about severe weather potential for Friday and Friday night at their weather blog.

Warming With Chances of Rain
**Warming Up**
Quite a nice day is in store for most of us here in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. A very slight chance of a thunderstorm this afternoon, but most will see no rain. Highs will be in the upper 70's. Rain makes an appearance again on Friday, with some storms reach strong status. Not sold on any severe weather at this point, but will monitor latest updates.
**Weekend Outlook**
The weekend will be wet to start, but Sunday looks great with highs both days in the mid 60's and lows at night in the upper 40's to lower 50's. Not bad, although it is below normal, for the 2nd week of October. Typically this time of year, we see highs around 74°...this October's high temperatures are running nearly 6° below normal while just a couple of years ago (in 2007), our average daily high through the first eight days was more than 11° above normal.

So Much For Sunday
**Changing Forecast**
On Friday, we were confident of a sunny weekend. Unfortunately, only part of that ended up being true. Saturday turned out quite nice, yet breezy, with clear, sun-filled skies. Sunday, however, was quite different with a cloudy start and rain began falling by mid-afternoon and hasn't stopped since. Just .23" was in the rain gauge as of this posting (8:30 pm CDT). Temperatures have been cool all day. Our high was just 60° at 1:30 and has fallen slowly since. We are currently at 52° and don't expect it to fall, if any, later. Monday will be mostly cloudy with a few light showers early and only around 67°. A slight chance of storms on Tuesday, increasing on Tuesday night with warmer temperatures. High around 72° during the day. The warming trend continues on Wednesday and Thursday as highs could top out around 74° and 77° respectively.
Several updates to the site this evening:
1. Under "Cookeville, TN Climate Data"
September's stats (from NWS-Coop Site) are up.

October Has Arrived
Quick lunch time update....
Welcome to October! Expect the fall foilage to really start cranking up during the next few weeks. Weather wise, we are seeing a warmer day today compared to the last few days. Highs will top out in the middle 70's this afternoon. We expect rain to develop overnight and could see a few strong storms on Friday. The chances aren't too great, but it is worth mentioning.
Behind the rain and frontal boundary, expect a fantastic autumn-like weekend ahead with highs running in the lower to mid 70's each day while lows will be from the mid 40's to the lower 50's. Next chance for rain comes again early next week.
