Before we move on to the May climatology stats for the Tennessee Valley, we’ll take a peak back at rainfall for the previous month like we usually do in these posts. After a big drought from last summer on through the winter, rainfall caught up across the area, and we have completely come out of […]

Every generation has it’s watershed moment. Ask any astronomy or space travel fan, and they can cite you down to the second what happened during the Challenger tragedy in 1986 – doubly so, many Americans can recall their entire September 11th, 2001 – and just about any weather nerd, hobbyist or professional, can recall their […]

Warm weather looks like it’s here to stay. We have nothing by 70s and 80s for highs through next week! We do have rain and storms mixed in, as well as a few dry periods. As far as the rest of today goes, cloud cover will continue to thicken up and light showers will move […]

It doesn’t take a meteorologist to know that it’s been a fairly wet spring so far here across the Tennessee Valley. I don’t think we’ve gone a full week-long stretch without at least small rain chances somewhere in the area for at least the past few months. Fortunately, the rain we have gotten has been […]

It’s turning out to be another beautiful, sunny, warm day across the Tennessee Valley on this Monday. High pressure is currently in control of the weather over the Southeast, and that’s currently keeping all the unsettled weather off to our north and west. Temperatures early this afternoon are climbing through the upper 70s to the […]

Unless you’ve been under a (perhaps moon-shaped) rock for the last few months, you’ve probably heard by now that, on April 8th 2024, the next great American solar eclipse will take place. This one has had so much pomp and circumstance surrounding it that many tens of millions of Americans are travelling to the path […]
