This week at a glance

Good afternoon everyone!

This week we’re expecting not only some rain but also much cooler temps as a front moves through the area.

What we’re expecting this week.
This week. We’re expecting some rain to move into the area tonight and through tomorrow. As the front moves into and through the area, we will have cooler temps for the area. Lows in the mid to low 30’s and even in the 20’s in some areas.
The rain we’re expecting tonight into tomorrow will be minimal and shouldn’t have severe weather but we can’t rule out some rumbles of thunder as they move through.
The cooler temps we expect will start Wednesday night into Friday. In our area we can see lows in the 30’s on each night but cooler as they go on. Possible 20’s in the rural areas away from the larger population.

Latest on Helene

Good afternoon folks!

Here is the current forecast for Helene as it makes her way towards us. First. This is what we’re expecting this week for rain chances.

The current track (could change as updates happen) for Helene brings her right into middle Tennessee. We could see some heavy rain and high winds as this storm moves into the area.

The wind gusts we could experience are around 20-40mph gusts.

The chances of us seeing those gusts are around 60%. Which means we probably will have some heavy gusts of wind.

And we currently have a flood watch for the entire area. Starting tonight through Friday night.

New hurricane in the gulf?

Hi there everyone! Newest update shows a system that could develop into a hurricane this week and the remnants could affect us this weekend.

First off. We can possibly expect some off and on rain today. (Pop up showers actually in the area right now)

Tomorrow we have a higher chance of rain in the area.

We have an even higher chance of much needed rain making its way into our area Wednesday.

And as of right now this is the path of the next tropical system in the gulf right now. The track shows the rain making its way through the area this week and the center of the low making its way into our area Friday and Saturday. As these update. I will update everyone.

Cat 1 Francine

Good morning all!

Francine officially became a Category 1 last night. There is a chance for her to become a Cat 2 before she makes landfall this evening.

The NWS in Nashville put this out overnight. Francine is still on track to come into the state starting tomorrow. The outer bands and remnants will start to impact us tomorrow through the weekend.

We are possibly expecting some severe weather as these bands move through the area. We do have a low threat for tornadoes but the highest threat right now will be flooding. Especially in low lying areas and flood prone areas.

We’re expecting about 3-4inches of much needed rain making its way with this system moving in.

We can also expect some wind gusts tomorrow as Francine moves into the area.

More to do with Francine

The hurricane center has put out a new outlook for tropical storm Francine.

We’re seeing a lot of models tracking the same way bringing Francine through Louisiana and up the Mississippi River into the west Tennessee area. This is just where the center of the storm is going. That isn’t going to show the width of the storm. We could expect 1-3 inches of rain as this moves into the area the end of the week/weekend.

Francine? Yes please!

Good afternoon folks!

As you’ve probably already seen, there was a new tropical development that formed in the Gulf over the weekend and now is named Francine.

We’re expecting that this could make its way into Tennessee the end of the week/weekend time frame. The NWS and Hurricane Center is predicting that it could reach our area as late as Thursday evening through as late as Saturday. Will keep you updated on the development as it comes in!
