As we began talking about as early as the first half of last week in my evening weathercasts, we would need to begin watching the tropics going deeper into this week for the potential for a system to possibly develop in the Atlantic basin. The latest outlook from the National Hurricane Center now gives this […]

We’ve got quite the gloomy start to the week, but that means more chances for much-needed rain in the Tennessee Valley. Plus, the cloud cover helps us stay out of the 90s. Hit or miss storms will be with us this afternoon and early evening, and I do think coverage will be a little more

It should surprise absolutely no one at all, but drought conditions continue across the Tennessee Valley, and the latest update to the Drought Monitor from the NWS Climate Prediction Center has ramped up the conditions again. “Extreme” drought conditions, the next from highest level, now cover parts of Lawrence and Giles Counties in Tennessee and

After a hot weekend, you are probably excited about the ‘slight cool-down’ part of the headline for the Tennessee Valley. I’ll talk more about that later on. First we can focus on today and much needed rain that’s coming our way this week. Chances not all that great today, maybe a pop-up thundershower or two.

In the warm seasons here in the South, especially this time of year, we see almost weekly some form of stormy or unsettled weather, if we aren’t in some sort of major drought. With those storms often come heavy rain, lightning and more often than not, scary skies sweeping across the Valley – we’ve all

Don’t you just love when a new month starts on a Monday? It’s got me motivated to tackle whatever may come this week. Today’s weather is quite nice and it feels quite refreshing outside! Low humidity and seasonable temperatures – can’t complain much! Enjoy the day outdoors, because humidity will build back up throughout the

Tropical Storm Beryl was officially declared by the National Hurricane Center at 10:00pm Central Time Friday night, and the system has strengthened a little overnight. The 4:00am Central Time advisory has Beryl’s wind speeds up to 50 mph now and pressure down to 1000mb. Tropical Storm Beryl is moving generally westward at 21 mph but

Would you believe it if I said a cold front moved through overnight? This is technically correct, however temperatures will remain in the 90s today. Humidity levels won’t feel *as bad* this afternoon. I’m officially calling this morning’s cold frontal passage a “Slightly Less Miserable Front” which I think we can agree on. That being

The title of this roundup is perhaps one of the more cruel cases of irony seen in this wild year of weather – but it’s exactly the situation out west. Over the last several days, the small town of Ruidoso, New Mexico has faced an onslaught wind, fire, and rain, unfortunately thus far culminating in
