COOL MORNING START:
Interesting headline considering our morning low was 58°, which is the coolest morning in a more than a month. We'll have more on how our upcoming Independence Day holiday weekend just might resemble a hot firecracker as opposed to this cool, comfy weather like this morning.
AMAZING RAINS:
June's rainfall total ended up at 9.31", which is the 4th highest all-time in Cookeville since records have been kept dating back to the 1890's.
**The TOP 5 June Rainfall List**
1. 1998 - 16.62"
2. 1928 - 11.81"
3. 1997 - 11.07"
4. 2011 - 9.31"
5. 1989 - 8.53"
FANTASTIC JULY 4th WEEKEND:
Today's high across the Highlands of Tennessee is expected to be in the upper 80's, but it'll feel quite comfortable with much lower humidities. Looking ahead to our holiday weekend, expect highs to rise above 90° on Friday and stay there through July 4th. We'll hit 95° on Saturday, the same for Sunday, and drop a degree or two for Independence Day with a very slight chance of storms. Like I said, 'hotter than a firecracker'.
