Tennessee and it’s surrounding neighbors are no stranger to tornadoes. One only needs to look back at the Spring of last year – 2023 – to see that the state was host to the strongest tornado of the 3rd most widespread tornado outbreak in American history – and the long-term trends aren’t painting any more […]

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

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

The mid afternoon update from the NWS Storm Prediction Center maintains a Level 2 risk of severe storms for about the northwestern 40% or so of our viewing area, roughly along and northwest of the Natchez Trace Parkway give or take a few miles. Folks south and east of there remain in a Level 1

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

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

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

Severe Weather Awareness Week continues here at Tennessee Valley Weather, and today’s topic is Lightning Safety. Because of the simple definition of what a thunderstorm is, lightning is a concern with EVERY thunderstorm, whether it is severe warned or not. While the parent storm probably won’t strike without warning, individual lightning bolts are random and
