Sunshine and Summertime Weekend
A pretty fantastic weekend is in store for Middle Tennessee with highs in the low 90s. Dew point temps will remain in the low 70s.
Sounds like a great weekend to be outside or to take a jump in the pool if you ask me!
Monday’s Eclipse Viewing Forecast Remains Promising
Models continue to show favorable conditions for Monday’s Solar Eclipse. This morning, our local NWS broke down an hour by hour forecast for temps and cloud coverage during the big event.
I want to re-emphasize that while we are optimistic about the totality viewing, there may be a few clouds in the sky at that time.
Forecasting whether a cloud will pass between you and the big #eclipse moment is kinda lol. However, model consensus is encouraging. pic.twitter.com/upzeUzBTDh
