Expect More Hot Weather

DANGEROUS HEAT INDEX READINGS AGAIN TODAY: 
We will see 'feels like' temperatures top 100° for the fifth straight day across Middle Tennessee. Already, at 7:30 am, the air temperature has risen to 80° and the heat index/feels like is 87°. Expect highs around 90° this afternoon. A Special Weather Statement and Hazardous Weather Outlook are both in effect. We saw .59" of rain yesterday, bringing our monthly total to 3.44" halfway through June. A typical June yields 4.41" of rainfall.

STORMS POSSIBLE:
We'll see the random, garden-variety summertime thunderstorm later today across much of our area. The National Weather Service says a few of these thunderstorms will have the potential of becoming strong to severe with brief heavy rainfall and damaging winds. Trained Storm Spotters are encouraged to closely monitor weather conditions in their area and be prepared to call in anything reaching the reporting criteria.

Spotter Thunderstorm Reporting Criteria are the following, Tornado - Funnel Cloud - Hail (greater than 1/2") - Winds (greater than 50 mph measured) - Structural Damage - Trees or power lines down
