Nice Sunday (Snow Mon-Wed)
Next rain/snow event is cranking up out west!
across the area. This morning, it is right at freezing, folks in Fentress County just to our northeast are dealing with some freezing rain issues. We won't see any of that in the Cookeville/Putnam County area. Look for the sun to make an appearance as we transition into late morning and early afternoon. Winds will be light to less than five mph from the northwest. A much nicer day than on Saturday.THE WEEK AHEAD: Monday is expected to be cloudy with a chance of snow moving in on Monday night after midnight. A rain/snow mix for Tuesday and all snow Tuesday night lingering into Wednesday. Expect below normal temperatures (same old story) for the beginning of March. We do, however, see warmer weather by next weekend.
Weather History for This Date
1916 - Hohenwald (in southern Middle TN) receives 9" of snow.
1964 - Cookeville receives 7" of snow
Daily Weather Story
The tsunami warning issued for the Hawaiian Islands turned out to be a non-event. What could have been a terrible disaster was avoided. Even with great science, things like tidal wave activity and weather are both still very hard to predict.

Super Saturday Weather (Tsunami Warning-Hawaii)
***UPDATE ON TSUNAMI WARNINGS FOR HAWAII***
AT LEAST FOR A WHILE: Expect sunshine for the first half of Saturday with temps warming to around 43°. A northwest wind will make things feel a bit cold. Look for more clouds by afternoon and a slight chance for flurries. By this evening, a better chance for snow flurries and snow showers with lows in the mid 20's. Less than a half-inch of accumulation expected. Speaking of winter weather, today's Examiner post discusses this crazy winter of 2009-2010! *Hint* - Coldest in more than 30 years!! Check it out.
Daily Weather Story
Tsunami Warning for Hawaii after a massive earthquake (measuring 8.8 on Richter Scale) has struck Chile. The 50th state of the United States is planning on sounding warning sirens at 6 a.m. (Hawaiian time) to awake residents and visitors to give them updates on the warning. Estimated arrival time to the Hawaiian Islands is around 11:19 am HST. As I understand it, a tsunami was generated by the quake and this is a dangerous situation.

Return To Cold
FANTASTIC WEEKEND: One of the nicer weekends we've seen in quite some time! We saw 60° on Saturday and Sunday's high of 67° at 3:23 pm was the warmest day since November 9th. It will be a distant memory this week as daytime highs after today will not see the average (51°) for this time of year until Sunday. We may, and I stress the word may, see some snow flurries flying Monday night into Tuesday. More cold air drops in on Wednesday and lows that night will be around 20° by Thursday morning.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Slight chance of rain for today after a rain-filled overnight. Cooler with highs only around 50°. Temperatures fall rapidly overnight, low 29° with flurries. Flurries again on Tuesday morning and we'll fight to hit 41°. The rest of the week will be COLD with flurries on Tuesday night and Wednesday!
Weather History for This Date
1874 - Nashville records 2.58" and 5.36" over a 2-day period
Daily Weather Story
The return of the cold air is the big story. After being teased with highs of 51° on Friday, 60° on Saturday, and 67° on Sunday, we'll take a big thud back to reality as Tuesday through Saturday will be below normal once again. While we'll see a few flurries, I don't see (at this point) an accumulating snow to talk about.

One Last Warm Day
NICE SUNDAY AHEAD: If you like warmth without rain, you will LOVE today. Highs are expected to reach 60° once again (saw 60° as our high Saturday). The last time we saw temperatures this warm was on December 14th! The last time we saw two days in a row above 60° was November 28th and 29th. A run of nearly 90 days.
BACK TO REALITY: After Sunday's warm temperatures, we'll see rain overnight. A cool and rainy Monday. With frontal passage on Monday, temperatures drop to below normal and stay there for a while. Some snow is not out of the question! The great news is, while it'll be very cold Tuesday night, the cold weather is not as deep or last as long as the cold air earlier this month. We will see a very active pattern into the first week of March. If we get the right combination of cold air and precip, another accumulating snow would be very possible.
Weather History for This Date
February 21, 1929 - Nashville receives 8" of snow for a two-day total of 15". The snow occurs over a 13 hour period!

Slow Warm-Up Ahead
SNOW ENDING SOON: Only a 20% chance of snow today after a light dusting overnight. Temperatures are very cold again on this Wednesday morning. We do, however, expect a slow warming trend over the next few days. By the weekend, afternoon high temperatures may actually approach the norms (50°) for this time of year. Unfortunately, I don't think it will last...as you'll see in the Daily Weather Story section located below. For this afternoon, snow ending, high of 31° under a cloudy sky. Tonight, cold again, low of 23°. For Thursday, sunshine returns and a high of 37°.
Weather History for This Date
1956 - An F2 tornado injures two in Fentress County between Jamestown and Allardt. Two more are injured during an F3 tornado between Lawrence and Giles county. That tornado stayed on the ground for 10 miles.

More Snow Last Night and Today
SNOW CONTINUES: Temperatures are very cold this morning (22°) as of this posting. Another 2" has accumulated since yesterday morning here in Cookeville. This gives us a total of 4" since the snow began. Saw a picture of a nearly 6" amount from Monterey last night. This morning, there is a report of a 7.5" total near Monterey as well.
TUESDAY'S OUTLOOK: Look for snow showers to continue today and we may receive up to another 1/2" of accumulation, high of only 27°. Tonight, snow showers again with another 1/2" possible. Low around 22° and any daytime melting that occurs will likely refreeze overnight. Appears likely the students and teachers will see another day off on Wednesday. More forecast details below.

Middle TN Snow Amounts
President's Day previous snow post from earlier this morning.
These are morning numbers. With more snow coming, we'll see some increase in many of the totals.
NWS Preliminary Storm Reports Amounts
These are morning numbers. With more snow coming, we'll see some increase in many of the totals.
NWS Preliminary Storm Reports Amounts
President's Day Snow
GORGEOUS LANDSCAPE ALERT: A beautiful two inches of snow has fallen overnight in the Cookeville, TN area. Temperatures dropped more than 15° since midnight here. Road conditions can be described as hazardous. TDOT and County road crews are working hard all over the region. Obviously, schools are closed (many for the President's Day National Holiday). While we do have some morning sunshine, that will give way later to cloudy skies with more snow developing. We expect another inch by later this evening. Full forecast below.
TENNESSEE: SNOW AMOUNTS: Lists from the NWS and CoCoRaHS.
Highest amount just before 7 am is: 4.5" from Cumberland County.
Most totals range from a trace up to 4" via CoCoRaHS observers.
Weather History for This Date
1897 - An unusually hot day in Clarksville, TN as the mercury hits 89°
Daily Weather Story
Obviously, the snow is the big story. Morning reports show many accidents in the Nashville area. Listening to the scanner here in Cookeville and Putnam County reveals a number of accidents and incidents as well. Overnight tonight, we should expect road conditions to be hazardous once again. The makeup day (today, President's Day) for Putnam County's school kids didn't go as planned.
Did you see the story from a few days ago? Snow on the ground in 49 states. Actually, it is all 50 states, but an official reporting station in Hawaii wasn't high enough in the mountains to get a recorded amount.

Monday's Forecast: After a brief snow event in the early morning hours, look for the cold front to pass through in the morning with strong winds cutting our 'feels like' down into the teens. Winds should settle down later in the day as more snow returns. An additional inch is possible. Monday night is expected to very cold with lows in the middle teens. Any precipitation that melts tomorrow will refreeze Monday night. Another cold week ahead with continuing much-below normal temperatures.

Snow Chances Are Back
Expecting our son to be born today!
Say a prayer for us......
Daily Weather Story: The big news other than our new baby son is the southern snowstorm. Dallas has received it's greatest one-day snowfall in recorded history as more than 9" has fallen in the Metroplex. Areas like south Mississippi, southern Louisiana, and south Alabama will see major accumulations on Friday. Snow will even accumulate in the panhandle of Florida.
CRAZY STATS:
WEEKEND FORECAST: Snow is in the forecast over the next few days. I think it'll be possible through Monday or even Tuesday. Expect temperatures to remain cold throughout the period. Daytime highs will not climb out of the 30's through Sunday and will be even colder on President's Day as a reinforcing shot of Arctic air is pushed into Middle Tennessee. Look for our best chance for accumulating snow to be on Sunday. Up to 3" is possible across the Upper Cumberland.
Cookeville's Daily Almanac
Yesterday's high: 36.7° at 2:42 pm

Snow Back To Rain Later
**10:00 PM UPDATE**
Winter Weather Advisory is cancelled as snow has turned back to rain...
Warming temperatures overnight turn the large snowflakes into rain. Expect slightly rising temperatures over the next few hours in the Upper Cumberland. Areas back to our west have seen bursts of snow which have resulted in accumulations up to 2" this evening. Tuesday's weather promises to be a mixed back of rain, snow, cold temperatures and gusty winds with light, if any, snow accumulations. Those winds will make the 'feels like' or wind chill temperatures downright chilly. By Tuesday night, I expect a complete changeover to snow. The snow will be light and may result in an inch of accumulation.

Cold Week Ahead With Precipitation
***1:45 PM UPDATE***
Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for counties west and north of Nashville for tonight thru tomorrow. Snow has fallen across North Mississippi and North Alabama. Quite a nice surprise for those folks. I'm not excited about our chance for accumulating snow here in Cookeville area over next couple of days. Will watch and keep you advised.
PUTNAM COUNTY SCHOOLS
2 hours late
Monday - February 8, 2010
Our friends over in the Memphis area are dealing with a WINTER STORM WARNING through tonight. The corridor between Jonesboro, AR to Memphis to Jackson, TN could see from 6-9" of snow through this evening. One suburb of Memphis (Cordova) is already reporting 4.5" as of 8:00 am. Map below...
Winter Weather Advisories are now being posted for Middle TN (NOT including the Cookeville/Putnam County area) for later today and tonight as accumulating snow is expected. At this point, we will be too warm for that to be a possibility.
Sunday's Strange Temperatures: After an original prediction of 40° for a high, we saw skies stay cloudy all day long. Temperatures never moved much.
Midnight on Sunday morning, it was 27.6°,
6 am 27.0°
9 am 28.0°
Noon 29.0°
3 pm 29.0°
6 pm 28.6°
9 pm 28.3°
Midnight 24.0°
Rare indeed to see a 2° change during most of a day.
WEEK'S OUTLOOK: Expect the nicest day to be today with increasing clouds through the day and a high of 42° after a very cold morning start. Rain enters our picture tonight and Tuesday. Lows tonight around 35° and that will probably be the high on Tuesday as temperatures fall all day.
This is a very tricky forecast. We should begin to see a rain/snow mix on Tuesday afternoon becoming all snow on Tuesday night and lingering flurries by Wednesday. Tuesday night will be cold and we may see enough for roads to become hazardous. We will watch things closely. The rest of the week will be cold with another snow chance by Friday.
Also, there is a new Cookeville web camera and weather station installed by the folks at NewsChannel 5. This was announced on their Sunday late newscast. It is at Tennessee Tech University and shows a GREAT shot of Derryberry Hall. Check their web site and it isn't (yet) online. Hopefully, it will be soon. I'll make contact with one of their people and let all of you know.

Snow This Morning; Cold Today
COLD PATTERN THIS WEEK: Snow this morning across the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. Early morning reports show up to 1/2" has accumulated in Monterey and Westmoreland. Some of the higher elevations could receive as much as 1" of accumulation. A cold north-northwest wind will make our high of 35° feel much colder. Clouds stay with us tonight, low of 25° and sunshine returns for Sunday with highs in the upper 30's.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK: Expect this below-normal pattern of temperatures to continue though the next 10 days with a possible warm-up coming after mid-February. Precipitation will continue to run above normal, too. During the first six days, we have recorded more than 2.5 times the average February precipitation thus far.
**Weather History for This Date**
On February 6, 1942...
One person is injured near Ardmore as a pre-dawn F2 tornado rips a 6 mile path across Giles and Lincoln Counties.

Precipitation, specifically rainfall, is the story once again. For the first six days of February, we've recorded 2.56" of rainfall at my CoCoRaHS station TN-PM-5 located in the northeast section of Cookeville. The average through the first six days is just under 1 inch (.93). Average for the entire month of February is 4.43"
We need YOU to participate in CoCoRaHS! March Madness is coming soon and we are recruiting volunteers to help us measure the rainfall. Regardless of which state you reside, we need you. Visit the web site or e-mail me at: admin@cookevilleweatherguy.com for more information.
