Storms Possible Late Today and Tonight

RAIN ON IT'S WAY: After a high of 72° (warmest day since Oct. 30th) on Wednesday, we'll see temperatures pull back a bit today with highs around 63°. Rain makes it way into our area by afternoon (we've already seen some, .06", this morning) and I can't rule out a strong storm or two. The best chances will be back toward the southern and western sections of Middle Tennessee. Thunderstorms will last into Thursday night as a strong cold front approaches from the west. Expect a chilly Friday with highs only around 50°, it'll feel colder as the day will be mostly cloudy. We get a much nicer day on Saturday with highs in the 60's, but storms return for Sunday.

Possible Storms Today

STRONG STORMS TO OUR SOUTH & WEST: Look for a line of very strong storms to move slowly across our area this morning. Our friends to our south in Alabama have been dealing with large, damaging hail..some as large as baseballs. Here in Cookeville today, our high will be 58°. Once the strong weather moves through, look for rain to continue and for the winds to turn more northwesterly. This will bring in cooler weather for Saturday and Sunday.

Sunny Sunday (March Madness & Skywarn)

SUPER SUNDAY FORECAST: For many across Middle TN, highs will reach into the 60's today after a morning start in the lower to mid 20's. I expect even a warmer day on Monday. Rain enters out picture by Tuesday and hangs around through the weekend as the weather pattern becomes more active.
  • MARCH MADNESS: CoCoRaHS (Community Collaborative Rain Hail and Snow Network) is holding their annual March Madness. This doesn't have anything to do with basketball. It has to do with recruiting. We are on a mission to have 20,000 volunteers measuring rainfall across the nation. Here in Putnam County, we need YOU to help us. Go to the CoCoRaHS web site for much more information. Need to ask a specific question that isn't answered?? E-mail me!
  • SPOTTER TRAINING: Coming up on March 13th in Cookeville, TN at the Emergency Services Building just off Willow Avenue is the Spotter Training Class. The course starts at 10:00 am and no advanced reservations are necessary. Also, this class is open to the public. So come a little early and get a great seat. 



SUNDAY MORNING CHURCH: Last and certainly not least on the list are the 8:30 am and 10:30 am (CST) church services at Trinity Assembly in Algood, TN. If you cannot join us in person, feel free to look in on our LIVE, streaming service by going to our web site. 


Enjoy this beautiful Sunday!!
