After a stormy Saturday across the Tennessee Valley, we are back to quiet weather today. The weather system that brought the rain and storms to the area yesterday is shifting away, and we are returning to mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies on this Sunday. Daytime highs across the region will be in the low […]

Clouds are thick in place across the Tennessee Valley early this Monday morning as a complex of showers and thunderstorms tracks south of our region across the southern half of Mississippi into south Alabama. The northern edge of that complex is spreading a few light showers into the area this morning, but nothing of too

Tuesday has started off calm, quiet and MUGGY across the Tennessee Valley! It’s the definition of ‘the air you can wear.’ Dewpoints in the 70s are making it feel miserable outside! Highs this afternoon will top out in the low to mid 80s, with scattered pop-up showers and storms expected. A few storms that develop

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

Well, we’ve made it to late April… but you can’t take that fact for granted – 70s and 80s being consistent are no guarantee. Today and yesterday have been a couple days of proof of that; in fact, today is the coolest day of the week, with widespread upper-50s and lower-60s being the story for
