After becoming a hurricane early last evening, Francine has continued to intensify overnight with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph as of the 4am advisory this morning. A little additional strengthening is expected before wind shear and dry air entrainment increase this afternoon before the system makes landfall, and Francine is officially forecast to become […]
All eyes in the weather center continue to be on the tropical disturbance in the Bay of Campeche and western Gulf of Mexico. This is actually the same system that we’ve been tracking across the Atlantic and through the Caribbean for over a week now! Now that it has moved over into the southwestern Gulf
Not everybody got rain yesterday, but several locations did, and it actually overperformed a little bit compared to forecast expectations. Here are Doppler Radar dual-pol estimated rainfall totals from the past 24 hours. Areas in green are estimated to have seen as much as a half inch or more! Where the rain happened yesterday, it
Warm again today, but the heat is on borrowed time. Rain chances increasing! Read More »

There is definitely an early fall feel to the air this morning across the Valley! Temperatures across southern middle Tennessee have dropped well into the 50s, and northwest Alabama is quickly dropping through the lower 60s toward the upper 50s. We still have a few more hours to go before we reach or morning lows.
Temps are still pleasant, but summer heat returns ahead. Read More »
We continue with mostly clear skies across the Tennessee Valley and much of the Southeast early in this Tuesday morning. That is because of the drier air mass that has worked its way into the region behind the cold front that came through Sunday, now located down along the Gulf Coast. Behind the front, temperatures
We come bearing good news! After struggling to see much of any rain for the month of June and into the first part of July, we’ve turned the corner over the past few weeks in the rainfall department. Over the last 30 days, many locations across the Tennessee Valley have seen a cumulative 4 to
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
