Up until Thursday, the sun stays out keeping us dry. Temperatures rise into the mid 60’s by Wednesday.
“Unless it Rains”
Thursday, low pressure sweeps north of Tennessee. A strong cold front will pass through our area Thursday evening bringing strong storms and maybe severe weather.
Still Cool and Dry
Dry and Cold Pattern Begins
Any freezing drizzles should be ending soon. Temps aren’t expected get above freezing for too long if at all today. Because of the lack of melting, black ice still poses a threat throughout today, tonight, and tomorrow morning. Proceed with caution in areas of elevation, overpasses and secondary roads.
Rain Coming in Wednesday Morning + Possible Freezing Rain Thursday Night
We enjoyed some really nice temps today with a high of 67° and plenty of sun. But…
Mid-Week Rain
Temps stay in the mid 50’s for Wednesday and Thursday. Low pressure starts to come into our area bringing rain early Wednesday morning. Sustained winds Wednesday ramp up to 20 mph with gusts <30 mph. Showers continue but are spotty Wednesday afternoon to evening time.
Mid Week Heavy Rain with Wintry Precip Potential
Temps right around normal today will heat up to the low 60’s by tomorrow.
Rain should begin as early as Wednesday morning. but it’s more likely to start Wednesday afternoon. Rain should be heaviest after midnight Wednesday and into Thursday morning. Rainfall rates should be high, totaling 3″ to 4″ by Friday morning. It looks like rain will be spread out long enough to enable runoff and drainage, but local creeks, streams, and low lying areas should rise. Flooding concern is there, and will be watched closely, but the concern is not high right now. Those in flood prone areas should continue to monitor.
Friday: Frozen Precip?
Today will be the warmest day we will see for a while.

After reaching the mid to upper 50’s today, we won’t see temps above the mid 40’s until Sunday. A cold front moves through early Tuesday morning bringing cooler temperatures. Overnight lows past Tuesday won’t get above freezing.
