ABOUT TENNESSEE VALLEY WEATHER
OUR STORY
Tennessee Valley Weather launched on April 12, 2020, in response to a clear and growing need for enhanced local weather coverage in Southern Tennessee, North Alabama, and Northeast Mississippi. Our mission was simple: to provide the communities we serve with the most accurate, timely, and professional weather information available.
From the outset, we became one of the first organizations in the nation to deliver continuous local coverage through live internet streaming, mobile and smart TV apps, and affiliated over-the-air radio stations.
Powered by a growing network of weather sensors, live cameras, and the advanced Baron Weather computer system suite, our team operates from a state-of-the-art broadcast facility which opened in 2023. From this hub, we meet the ever-changing demands of forecasting and storm tracking in the heart of “Dixie Alley,” where severe weather can escalate in moments.
Tennessee Valley Weather is deeply committed to innovation and excellence in public service broadcasting. Our dedication has earned recognition from both state and national organizations, including:
• 2022 – Best Public Service, Tennessee Association of Broadcasters, for coverage of a tornado outbreak in Southern Middle Tennessee.
• 2024 – Telly Award and Communicator Award for Excellence in Social Video News & Information, for coverage of the March 31–April 1, 2023 EF-3 tornado.
• 2025 – Media Award, Emergency Management Association of Tennessee, honoring outstanding service and dedication to supporting emergency management statewide.
Since 2021, we’ve also served as a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador™, a designation by NOAA recognizing partners committed to building community resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate events.
We are passionate about this work because we’re serving home. Every member of our team either grew up in the Tennessee Valley or has chosen to make it home. It's where we live, work, worship, and raise our families. That personal connection drives our commitment. Whether skies are calm or storm clouds are building, we’re here, ready to inform, protect, and serve. When it comes to the weather, you can always count on Tennessee Valley Weather to keep you advised.
