Saturday-Sunday Rain Chances

Temps Slipping Back to Near Normal, Watching Potential Storm For Next Week

Behind this weekend’s cold front, temperatures will fall into the low 40s for highs Monday and Tuesday, before rebounding some on Wednesday, into the middle 50s.

An active pattern moves in for Thursday-Friday when a rain to wintry mix type of event may occur over portions of the TN and OH valleys. The GFS model is a lot more aggressive with cold air overrunning precipitation, where the EURO is less aggressive on the cold (meaning less frozen precipitation). It will take several days for these global models to come to a better conclusion on a potential winter storm, so hold on for those details. We will keep you updated on impacts if it looks like something may materialize…but we’re still 6-7 days away.
