Rainy Week Begins Today

By on

On and off rain for the week begins this morning, continuing through Tuesday and Wednesday – as shown by the HRRR model below. Heavier rainfall totals today will be south of I-40.

HRRR Simulated Radar 10am Monday – Wednesday 6am
  • Multiple rounds of heavy rain will continue throughout the week and into the weekend.
  • Generally, rainfall totals will be from 2-4″, with locally higher amounts possible. In these locally higher amounts is where flash flooding risk will be elevated, along with the areas that usually flood. Unsure of where these higher rainfall totals may happen.
  • NWS Nashville says a Flood Watch may be needed for areas that are believed to get higher rainfall totals – unsure if this would include our counties at this time.
  • Some rumbles of thunder will be possible in the heavier downpours, but no severe weather is expected.

Temps mid-week will be above average, eventually making it back to around normal by the weekend. read more

One More Dry Day Before A Wet Week

By on

Today will be chilly, with high temps only reaching the upper 40’s, but will at least be rain-free.

In between watching football and what not today, it’d be a great idea to go check your gutters and drains, chances are they likely have something obstructing them (leaves, twigs, etc.) and with all the rain coming up – it always helps when water flows where it is supposed to go. read more

Low Probability Of Severe Weather Today, Look At Halloween Weekend

By on

Some showers of no consequence moving through this morning, only will help water the grass a little.

🍃Before the main line of storms arrive, it will be windy. We are under a Wind Advisory until 7pm for sustained winds 15-25 mph, with gusts up to 40mph. That could bring down a few tree limbs before the storms arrive. Also, may make it difficult for high-profile vehicles, especially on I-40. Would be a good idea to move Halloween decor inside and make sure trampolines are tied down so they don’t become frisbees. read more
