Warmest Day In A While

MORNING FROST AND SUNSHINE: It is a gorgeous Friday for you today in Cookeville, Tennessee and the Upper Cumberland region. We start out at 22° as of 7 o'clock this morning with frost. Looking at a daytime high of 54°. The last time we went over 50° was January 25th. I expect we'll see 50° plus over the next four days. The last time that happened was January 18th through January 21st. Don't get to used to the nice weather as we have another system poised to enter our area on Sunday evening. This will give us some rain, but behind it will much colder temperatures. Enjoy this stretch of warm weather! Be sure to check out my INFO 101-Severe Weather Awareness Week news article at Examiner.
