We're poised to be back in the 90's today across the Upper Cumberland region after a one day reprieve. Yesterday's high was just 84° breaking an 8-day streak of 90°+ highs. This morning's low was a very comfy 54.9° at 5:42 am.
WEDNESDAY'S HIGHS:
*Special Weather Statement*
With highs returning to around 90° today it will be the most comfortable day as extreme heat will build across the area beginning on Thursday. I expect our highs to be just under 100° on Thursday, but TOP 100° on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Monday and Tuesday should be shade under the 100° mark.
THURSDAY'S HIGHS:
We'll push records later this week.
Cookeville high temperature records for those days are:
Thursday - 102 in 1936
Friday - 99 in 1936
Saturday - 95 in 1933
I cannot emphasize heat safety enough. Please consult my post on Tuesday evening concerning heat safety tips as well as the Heat: A Major Killer page from the NWS.
