Nice Week Upcoming!

PRETTY DAYS CONTINUE!
A beautiful week ahead for us here in the Upper Cumberland.  After lows in the 40's overnight on Sunday, we'll see temperatures rise to near 70° for highs on both Monday and Tuesday.  Rain chances for Tuesday night and Wednesday, but temperatures will stay warm.  Expect highs near 70° all week.

SEVERE WEATHER AHEAD???
We are watching a possible severe weather event for Friday, but it is a long way out...I want to watch a few more model runs before giving you my opinion on possible severe chances.
