Area-wide freeze expected tonight. Warmer weather ahead.

By Ben Luna | March 18, 2024

I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of rest. The air was crisp as you stepped out for the day today, and it’s simply a chilly March day. Highs may not make it out of the upper 40s for a lot of us, especially folks in southern middle Tennessee. We may see some lower […]

St. Paddy’s Weekend forecast: Luck of the Irish is on our side!

By Ben Luna | March 15, 2024

After quite a stormy morning across the Tennessee Valley, our weather is about to calm down just in time for the weekend. Many locations in the area observed more than 3 inches of rain since it all began yesterday. Thankfully, the moisture is on its way out. Temperatures will stay in the 60s this afternoon […]

If you’re feeling groggy after the time change yesterday, you’re not alone! It’s a slow start to the week, but hey, at least we’ve got plenty of sunshine to perk us up and get us through the day! Aside from a few clouds from time to time, today’s weather will be nice and calm, with […]

Cooler So Far This Weekend – But Spring Returns… Soon!

By Ben Luna | March 9, 2024

That cold front sure knows a thing or two about bad timing. It seems like we’ve been in this little stretch of warm Spring-like weather, just for the WEEKEND of all times to come crashing down. What luck, huh? We’ve been stuck in the 50s (and even 40s) throughout the Valley today, and we’re only […]

Sunshine is returning this afternoon, but clouds and rain are not far away in the forecast.

By Ben Luna | March 6, 2024

Clouds are starting to break across the area this afternoon. We’re not fully sunny by any means, but we are starting to see some patches of blue sky and sunshine, and this is allowing temperatures to warm into the mid to upper 60s in many places. A few locations down in north Alabama, such as […]

Unsettled weather this week with multiple rain & storm chances.

By Ben Luna | March 4, 2024

It’s been a mostly cloudy morning for *most* of the Tennessee Valley this morning. Some of our western counties have seen sunshine, and they broke into the 70s a while ago! I do expect mostly cloudy conditions to continue this afternoon, but if there are any breaks in the clouds, it’s going to feel much […]

By Ben Luna | March 2, 2024

A new month means a look at that month’s climatology here in our part of the Tennessee Valley, but we also like to begin by looking back at the previous month’s rainfall stats in our area. Within our viewing area, the only NWS climate-record-keeping type reporting stations we have are located on the Alabama side […]
