We wake up once again to temperatures in the 50's across middle Tennessee. Here in Cookeville, the 7 am temp is 55.9° and the low this morning was 54.4°, the 4th straight morning with lows in the 50's.
SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON:
We'll hit 85° later this afternoon under a sunny sky. Ditto that forecast for tomorrow through the weekend as we stay in the dry pattern with warm days and cool evenings.
Tropical Storm Isaac is churning in the Atlantic and expected to reach hurricane status in the next 24-36 hours. The path is expected to take Isaac toward Cuba and then make a turn toward Florida. At this point, we expect the Atlantic coast of south Florida to be under the gun by around 2 am on Monday. This, however, is a long ways out and the path could easily change.
