Jason was born in Nashville. He graduated from Franklin High School. He met Ashley at ETSU. Then he joined the Army.
Jason and Ashley married and moved to Ft. Bliss. Jason had a boxer, Charlie. He rode motorcycles, played tennis. Jason and Ashley planned a formal wedding after he returned from Afghanistan.
Army Spc. Jason K. Edens was an infantry mortar soldier. At Laghman Province Afghanistan on April 15, 2012, his unit came under small arms fire. He was shot in the head while returning to a vehicle to get mortar. He was flown to Germany then Walter Reed but the wound was fatal. Jason died when 22 years old, eleven days after he’d been shot.
His funeral processional cut through Franklin. The town froze as long parade of motorcycles, police, and vehicles slowly, loudly, and deafeningly silently halted traffic for about a half hour as Jason’s friends, family, and a massive, powerful line of motorcycles moved slowly by. Bystanders and pedestrians stopped, stood at attention.
Today, as we remember all sacrifices, we single out Jason. Take a few minutes and read about him here. He was and is the best of us. –The NSWX Team.
While we probably won’t see much of the sun today, the good news is that we likely won’t see much rain today.
Rain chances increase as we head towards sunset, and we’ll see some rain overnight, continuing into Tuesday.
It won’t rain the whole day Tuesday, but with all the rain we’ve received recently, rainouts for rolly ball games are more likely. No severe weather concerns, but lightning will be possible with any thunderstorm.
HRRR gives an educated guess, looping from Monday night thru Tuesday night:
A few isolated areas could see some minor street flooding in localized areas but not worried about any widespread issues.
Besides a few lingering showers Wednesday morning, we should dry out on Wednesday.
Low rain chances will be with us Thursday and Friday, maybe a quick shower/non-severe storm in the afternoon/evening. NBD.
Upcoming weekend looks dry with warmer temperatures.
