Monday Rain Gives Way to Tuesday Sunshine

A LITTLE MORNING RAIN
Nice, light rain falling this morning. Won't amount to very much as I had .07" in my rain gauge just a few minutes ago (7:00 a.m. CDT). The most I could find here in Tennessee was .36" down in southern Middle Tennessee.



NEAR 70° TUESDAY
Looking at radar, the rain will end this morning. We anticipate the clouds clearing out late this evening. Tuesday should be a bright, sunny day with highs near 70°.....much of the same for Wednesday and a couple of degrees warmer.

*Latest, Local Forecast*

REST OF THE WEEK
Rain re-enters our forecast for Thursday and we turn cooler for the end of the work week. The weekend promises sunshine and 60's for highs.  We can certainly live with that.

COOKEVILLE ALMANAC-March 16th

ON THIS DATE (Weather History)
Three F3 Tornadoes strike Middle Tennessee in 1942, killing 9 people and injuring more than 100 persons. In 1973, two communities record their greatest one-day rainfall ever...Coldwater with 6.70" and Fayetteville with 6.62". Nationally, on this date, yellow snow in Pennsylvania is caused by pollen from pine trees that were flowering of the southern sections of the United States.
