We’re looking at two potential rounds of severe weather, while both are conditional, both rounds bear watching.
From now until Saturday night, it will be important to be weather aware and stay connected for updates/changes to the forecast.
Beautiful Spring-like day ongoing.
Similar temperatures expected Thursday but can’t rule out a shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon/evening. No severe weather expected – can’t totally rule out some heavy downpours or even some pea-sized hail with a thunderstorm or two. Some of us will stay totally dry.
Before we get into this weekend, we do have a warm and mostly dry work week in front of us.
High temps will be well above average all week long, in the 70s until Sunday.
First rain chances this week will be on Thursday. Although rain chances have increased since yesterday, totals still look relatively low.
Our Wind Advisory will expire at 6p tonight, when the winds finally chillax. Until then, gusts up to 35 mph will have the cool day feel even cooler.
If you hear anything about accumulating snow – that only applies to the Cumberland Plateau. Can’t totally rule out seeing a few sprinkles, or even a few flurries this evening, but no accumulation is expected here.
A Wind Advisory is now in effect until 6p Wednesday. Sustained winds in the 20-30 mph range are expected, with gusts up to 50 mph not out of the question.
With the winds coming out of the S/SE, travel (especially for high-profile vehicles) may be a little tricky on W-E oriented roads such as 40 and 840.
