Seattle Saturday

If you've never been to Seattle, just look outdoors today in Cookeville, TN and you'll get a good taste of their weather with fog, dampness, and chilly. It'll be mostly cloudy for the rest of today and we'll not see temperatures rise much from the current reading of 39.9°.

We'll see a warmer Sunday with a high of 60° and then storm chances ramp up again on Sunday night with a possibility of strong to severe chances once again. Here is a map of potential severe weather from the NashvilleWx.com site.

Speaking of strong weather, we saw hail reports from Sumner County and Giles County. Reports tell us they were near 1" in diameter. *January 21st, 2012 Storm Reports Link*

Looking further out into next week, temperatures should be above average for this time of year. Snow fans will not be happy!

It's Friday! I've been off work since Thursday afternoon before Christmas. Been the fastest 7 days of my life. I go back on Monday, December 31st for a day before getting Tuesday off.

Rain is falling now over much of Middle Tennessee. Showers are racing to the northeast at 55 mph. The forecast calls for a 100% chance of rain (makes sense since it is raining right now!) today and 50% tonight. We continue to watch a developing winter weather situation for just after the first of the year. While it is definitely going to be much colder, we are holding off on the precipitation for right now. I hope to have a much clearer picture for everyone by tonight.

There are hail pictures from Decaturville, TN over at News 2's Weather Site. Some in the Middle TN area are reporting a lot of lightning..none here in the Cookeville area.
