Category: Labor Day Weekend

Changes Ahead…

Today into Wednesday will offer up more of what we’ve grown so accustomed to over the past several days- incredibly humid air, along with scattered heavy thunderstorms.  Similar to days past, the humid, “heavy” nature to our air will help fuel localized torrential downpours.

Thankfully, the hour glass has been “flipped” and time is running out on the humid air mass.  In fact, as early as Thursday morning, we’ll notice a huge change.  A northeast flow will provide a much drier brand of air and temperatures will also cool significantly.  Several mornings (Thursday through Sunday) will feature lows in the 50s with highs in the 70s.  Lows into the upper 30s will drive southeast into the high ground of the beautiful east TN mountains.

The balance of the first half of September looks warm, but there are indications for changes to begin showing up towards mid to late month that would lead towards more sustained, consistent pushes of cool…

Thunderstorms, Especially West…

  • Western storms
  • Hot Labor Day
  • MUCH cooler late next week

Thunderstorms will slowly push south this morning, especially across western portions of the state.  Many will be asking “what storms?” while others are getting pounded by heavy rain, vivid lightning, small hail, and strong winds.  Best chances of getting a storm will be along and west of I-65.

Drier conditions will build in for the second half of the weekend and into early next week.  Labor Day will be a very hot and humid one.

Rain and storm chances will increase as we push into the mid week stretch as a strong cold front moves into the Mid West.  MUCH cooler air will infiltrate the state late next week and things will be feeling very “fallish” by the weekend.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″-1″ (locally heavier totals)

Summer Like Now, But Cooler Times Loom…

Screen Shot 2015-09-04 at 7.59.33 AMHighlights:

  • Storm potential north
  • Hot Labor Day weekend
  • Cold front delivers storms and cooler air next week

We’re off to another steamy one this morning with many neighborhoods already between 65-70 as we type this predawn Friday.  We’ll zoom up yet again to around 90 this afternoon with only isolated storm coverage.  Better chances of rain and storms can be expected across northeastern portions of the state due to a little “weakness” in the atmosphere.

The story for the long holiday weekend is one of heat and humidity, with little, if any, storm threat (very isolated coverage).  Highs Saturday though Monday should reach around 90.

However, changes are coming down the road as a significant cold front sweeps the region Wednesday into Thursday.  Showers and thunderstorms will accompany the frontal passage followed by a MUCH cooler, fall-like, air mass arriving by the end of next week.
