Hot Weather Returns


MORE SUMMER HEAT
We'll return to the 90's across the Upper Cumberland today. We'll call it 91° here in Cookeville under a mostly sunny sky. We're already in the lower 70's at 7:00 am (72.7°) and temps will rise quickly. Yesterday's high was 92.4°.



TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
A 30% chance for storms tonight, low 70° by dawn on Thursday. Storms stay in the forecast for Thursday with a high of 90° and a low of 66° on Friday morning. Sunshine returns on Friday, high 87° with a more of a comfortable north-northwest flow.


YOUR WEEKEND FORECAST
A sneak peak into the weekend reveals we will probably see a cooler temps and dry conditions with highs around the mid 80's Saturday and low 80's on Sunday!


REMEMBERING HURRICANE ANDREW
Today is the 19th anniversary of one of the most destructive hurricanes to strike south Florida. Hurricane Andrew made landfall near Elliott Key with winds of 165 mph. It was just the 3rd Category 5 hurricane to strike the United States (at the time). Our friends over at "The Original Weather Blog" have much more on the anniversary of Hurricane Andrew.
