HOT AGAIN:
We'll run around to near 90° today and into the 90's for Wednesday through Sunday with Friday being our hottest day where we may see temperatures rise into the middle 90's here in Cookeville, TN. We are expecting mainly dry conditions all week long (sorry folks!). Our best chance for rain is on Saturday with an approaching cool front. This sets up a potentially NICE Labor Day forecast for Monday. Right now, my thinking is for lower 80's and sunny skies that day. It is a bit far off to be high in confidence.
VERY, VERY DRY:
August (1.09") has become the driest month is 2011 and the driest in recent memory. Right now, August 2011 will finish as the 5th driest since records have been kept in Cookeville. The 4 driest years were in 1953 with .46, 1925 with .61, 1999 with .67, and 1924 with .88. We recorded just 1.10" back in September 2008 and 1.19" in August 2009 and 1.21" in November 2009.
