Nice Friday; Rain-Filled June

SUNSHINE:
Looking nice this morning in Cookeville with sunny skies and a morning temperature (at 7:00 am) of 72°. Expect temperatures to top out at only 83° this afternoon and a cool overnight with lows near sunrise on Saturday in the low 60's. NICE!

WEEKEND FORECAST:
Temperatures warm back up for our weekend with highs Saturday in the middle to upper 80's and Sunday's highs near 90°. Only very slight chances for rain on Saturday but rain chances increase on Sunday.

SPEAKING OF RAIN:
June's second half has been one of the rainiest we've seen in years. Compare the first days of June when it was brutally hot and we measured just .87". In the last 9 days, we've measured rain on 7 of those days and received 7.45". 90% of June's rainfall has come in just 7 days. AMAZING.  A typical June will yield about 4.41" of rainfall.
