Heat Advisory Cancelled
The heat advisory that was issued for today has been cancelled early because temperatures did not get quite as warm as forecasted. Highs will still be in the mid 90's this afternoon with heat indexes hovering around 100 degrees. If you are going to be outdoors today, continue to use caution.
A few storms are dotting the radar this afternoon but is not anything like yesterday afternoon. Expect the storms this afternoon to be few and far between. A look at the extended forecast and a check with the tropics a little later this afternoon.

The Tennessee Valley is in the midst of the dog days of summer. Our heat wave that is currently bearing down on a large part of the country will continue into the weekend and well into next week. The Middle Tennessee area is under a HEAT ADVISORY for today and Friday. Heat Indices will approach 105 degrees. Remember to stay cool and stay hydrated.
A few afternoon thunderstorms are possible over the next several days, but do not expect any widespread activity anytime soon.

Rainy Forecast
Showers are starting to push into Middle Tennessee from the west this afternoon. Rain will continue to push into the mid-state into tonight. Some of that rain could be heavy at times and some isolated flash flooding could occur, especially along the Alabama-Tennessee border. Temperatures tonight for the most part will stay in the 50's because of the cloud cover and rain. A good chance of showers will continue through Thursday. Temperatures will stay below normal and drop even lower heading into the weekend. Would not be shocked to see some locations receiving a frost at some point this weekend. Some models are even painting a few wet snowflakes on the map as you travel up into the mountains of east Tennessee. Doubt that will come to pass, but a signal that winter is just right around the corner.

Storms Today, Interesting Long Term
Middle Tennessee

Tuesday, October 6, 2009
Today...
The storm prediction center has most of the area west of interstate 65 under a slight risk of severe storms later today into this evening. This will be something we will have to watch throughout the day. High temperatures today will top out in the low to mid seventies for most areas. Tonight low temperatures will stay in the mid fifties due to cloud cover.
Wednesday-Friday...
Things will begin to clear out on Wednesday, however, temperatures will remain quite cool with most areas staying in the upper sixties. Lows on wednesday drop back into the fourties. Thursday will bring a nice rebound in temperatures as they soar to near eighty. Lows on thursday will also stay in the mid sixties. The rain and storms return in time for Friday however as temperatures continue to remain warm.
Saturday-Monday...
The weekend should stay mostly dry with highs in the sixties and lows in the fourties. A few showers look to move through on Columbus Day. Temperatures into next week will be quite tricky. As we get closer to that time frame, we will have a better idea of what to expect, but some modeling is showing the first real potential frost/freeze situation. This will be something to watch carefully as the growing season may soon be coming to an end a little early this year.

Nice Today Then Storms
Local Forecast
Short Term
Sunny skies today with high temperatures in the low 70's all across the basin. Clouds will be on the increase later in the day. Tonight lows will only fall into the upper 40's and low 50's as our next storm system heads this way for Thursday night into Friday morning. I think with the timing of the system though and a relatively stable atmosphere in our neck of the woods, most of the severe weather should remain to our west. A few strong storms cannot be ruled out though, especially west of interstate 65.
Long Term
Cool and Dry weather are in store for the weekend with highs struggling to hit the 70 degree mark and overnight lows down into the 40's. Temperatures will moderate some at the beginning of next week as another system is poised to bring some rainfall to the area.

Great Lakes, Fall Storm System
A strong fall storm will be impacting our area later tonight as an upper level disturbance and associated low pressure center will be diving down from Canada into the northern Great Lakes tonight and tomorrow. The low pressure system is anticipated to deepen to around 980 mb by the time it reaches the Great Lakes. As it deepens, a cold front will be moving through Wisconsin later this afternoon and evening. A squall line of potentially strong to severe thunderstorms in association with the front is expected to be moving out over the open waters of Lake Michigan after 8pm tonight and continue progressing through Southwest Lower Michigan into the late night and overnight hours. -Courtesy of Grand Rapids NWSWeather History

Seasonal Spotlight
Its that time of year where we start getting those fall foliage maps ready and planning our trips to head somewhere for the weekend and check out the fall colors. Below is the latest update for the southeastern areas courtesy of The Foliage Network.

We are heading into that time of year when we start watching to our north and northwest for signs that winter is approaching. This week may hold the key to the ignition of our first serious winter storm of the 2009-10 winter season. Below is a map from Accuweather concerning that very threat.
