Nice Friday with Weekend Changes Coming


(April 16, 1998 Tornado Damage at Hermitage in Nashville)

FRIDAY SUNSHINE: Expect highs around 80° today in the Cookeville area. Rain enters our picture overnight with the possibility of thunderstorms. Severe weather is unlikely as is heavy rain. We'll see highs 'only' in the 60's through the middle of next week. Quite a change from the recent 80's


APRIL'S WARM START: Amazing warm start to April. We've seen highs hit 87° on April 5th and lows drop to 34.5° on April 10th. Our average temperatures (mean temperature...which equals the average of the high and low) are running almost 10° above normal. No complaints out of most of us after a winter which saw temperatures run much below normal.
