Late August or Late September

**RECORD-SETTING COOL TEMPERATURES**
Cool weather across Middle Tennessee makes us wonder if we are really in late August. Feels more like a late September weekend. Lows this morning were mostly in the mid and upper 50's with a couple of 55° readings being reported. In West Tennessee, Jackson reports a new record low for this date of 54° and it breaks the record of 55° set way back in 1956.

**SUNDAY MORNING NOTES**
Today's forecast calls for partly sunny skies with highs in the middle 70's here in Cookeville. Another cool night tonight with lows by sunrise of 55°. We'll gradually warm up next week with highs in the lower 80's on Monday moderating to the upper 80's by Thursday. First chances for any rain arrive around Thursday.
