Hottest Temps of 2014 This Weekend

The headlines are to expect temps hitting the mid 90's in the Cookeville area starting Thursday through the weekend. A slight chance for a garden variety summer time thunderstorm.

We hit 87° on Tuesday which is the warmest day since last Monday, August 11th. Expect temps in the low 90's for Wednesday and around 94-95° for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We may even be underplaying the high temps a bit, so upper 90's are a possibility with 100° highs to the west of Nashville.

Both June and July saw days where our high hit 93°, Highs over the next few days will exceed that temp.

With today's rains, August has topped 4".

Sunday Storms and Upcoming Week's Forecast

Looking at the latest radar loop you can see more storms developing over middle TN and even more streaming eastward from western sections of TN.  

In Cookeville, we've already recorded more than .50 (half inch) of rainfall and isolated locations could see as much as 2-4 inches before the rain moves out on Monday evening. 

Strong storms are possible, but I believe they will stay under the severe limits. We do, however, believe that locally heavy rainfall will occur.

With cloud cover today, temps won't warm much and will be in the mid 80's on Monday. The rest of the week will see temps approach 90° all the way through the upcoming weekend.

Another Night In The 50's; Hot Days Ahead

Expect Friday morning lows by sunrise to be in the 56-58° range for many of us. This marks the 3rd night in a row that we'll drop to the 50's. I don't think we'll go all the way to 54° like this morning.

Normal high/low this time of year:
87°/64°

FRIDAY THROUGH WEEKEND
High temps:
85° - Friday
88° - Saturday
87° - Sunday
Only a 30% chance of rain on Sunday with plenty of sunshine on both Friday and Saturday. We'll possibly drop into the 50's for a 4th night in a row Friday evening, but I'm not 100% sold on that idea. Best thunderstorm chances are Sunday night, but it is only a 50/50 proposition at this point.

Possible Shower Before Lunch; Gorgeous Rest of Week

BECOMING SUNNY LATER:
There is a very slight chance of a possible shower or thunderstorm today before lunch with sunny skies for this afternoon and a high near 80°. Currently, at 6:45 am, in Cookeville the temperature is 70°. 

STORMY MONDAY AFTERNOON:
On Monday, we had two rounds of thunderstorms roll through the area prompting a severe thunderstorm warning and a significant weather advisory. We recorded just .66" here at my weather station while areas around Carthage, TN (about 35 miles to our west) had some impressive totals including a station with 2.73". 

WET and COOL:
So far in August we've recorded two days with rain and a total of 3.22". Average August rainfall is: 3.94". Average temperatures so far this month is running about 1.7° below normal.

ANOTHER COOL SPELL:
Once we get past today, expect much cooler temperatures the rest of the week with lows in the upper 50's tonight, lower to mid 50's on Wednesday night, upper 50's on Thursday night. Highs mainly in the upper 70's to lower 80's each day with abundant sunshine.

Sunday Scattered Storms


Expect a round of thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon. Not every location will see rainfall. Highs in the mid 80's under muggy conditions.

HEAVY SATURDAY RAINS:
On Saturday evening, rain fell hard and fast in the Cookeville area. At my home, I measured 2.56". Checking deeper into my own data, I had 1.36" from 7:10 pm until 8:00 pm and another 1.07" from 8 to 9 pm.

Other high amounts in TN were:
3.39" in Madison (north of Nashville)
3.08" just east of Cookeville
2.77" at a station near my home
2.60" four miles NE of Sparta
2.57" 4.6 miles WNW of Sparta

6" of Rain in the Carolinas:
More than 6" of rain in a 24-hour period yesterday was recorded in Greenville, SC and Garner, NC.


Our upcoming week looks great starting about Wednesday with cooler temps and lower humidity levels.

Storms Brewing This Afternoon


SATURDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE:
There has been an increase in the rain and thunderstorm coverage across Middle Tennessee this afternoon. Expect slow moving thunderstorms with locally heavy downpours where the rain falls. The air is very moist and we lack any significant winds although that may change within strong thunderstorms themselves. The threat of any widespread severe thunderstorms is not expected.

REST OF THE WEEKEND:
Expect some leftover rain and thunderstorm activity this evening, but they should all dissipate after sunset. Sunday is expected to be much drier than today with warmer temperatures. The high should be around 85°.

NEXT WEEK:
At this point, Monday looks like a good chance for thunderstorm development. We'll keep an eye out for any possible strong to severe weather. After frontal passage, I expect things to dry out and settle down with cooler temps. Much of the week will be dry with a few cool nights mid-week and temps averaging below normal.
