Frigid Saturday

What beautiful sunshine we have out there this afternoon across Southern Tennessee. The thing is however, do not let the sunshine fool you. It is a frigid afternoon across the Tennessee Valley and that looks to be the rule for the rest of the weekend. Afternoon highs today will be around the freezing mark with temperatures tonight plummeting into the upper teens. Make sure to take precautions tonight as to protecting life and property in this artic air. Still watching a weather maker for the beginning of the week that will bring some rain to the area. The question is though whether we will see any wintry precipitation with that rain. More updates on that weather system as it gets closer.

Summer Will Continue

Weekend Forecast: The weather this weekend will be beautiful for all of your outdoor summer activities. A few afternoon thunderstorms could develop each day (20-30%) but overall, most folks should remain dry with highs climbing into the mid 90's both days. Lows at night will only cool back into mid 70's.

Mon-Wed: A few storms will be around Monday before we turn drier again. Tuesday and Wednesday look dry and warm with highs in the low to mid 90's and lows in the lower 70's.

Thurs-Sat: Seasonal Temperatures with scattered afternoon thunderstorms.

Have a great weekend!

Tropical Invest

As you can see, Bret and Cindy both continue to move off to the northeast. We now turn our focus to the southeast once again as a tropical wave is moving toward the west. This wave is showing signs of possible development as it heads toward the west. The system will be slow to develop if it is going to but this Tropical Invest is something that will bear watching as we head into next week.

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.

Storms Rolling West

It looks like a few folks across the area will see some showers and storms this afternoon!

Radar: OHX National Weather Service

Heat Continues

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.
