This Time Last Year

Does anyone remember late June last year?
If not, let me remind you.

June was a fairly hot month up to June 27 with 10 days that hit 90° plus including 8 straight days from the 18th through the 25th. We dipped down to 84° on the 26th but rebounded to 93° on the 27th.

From June 28th on the high temps were as follows:
102° on June 28
106° on June 29
105° on June 30
104° on July 1

We would snap the 100° plus streak on July 2, 3, and 4th with highs 'only' reaching 97°, 98°, and 98° respectively but then hit 100° for three straight days and 101° on July 8.

Strangely enough, July 10 was just 79° while July 12 was just 74° for high temps.

During that hot streak, we managed to be at 97° or above for 9 straight days.

I do not believe we'll see those kind of temps over the next 10 day period, but rest assured we have some hot weather still to come this summer.

Thunderstorms Likely Overnight

We're watching the possibility of thunderstorms later tonight.

Counties just to our north in the commonwealth of Kentucky are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Here in the Cookeville area, our forecast is for a 70% chance for thunderstorms after 10 pm with the most likely chance in the early morning hours of Thursday. Some thunderstorms do have the possibility of reaching the strong to severe limits but at this point, chances aren't very high of this happening.

For Thursday through next week, we'll have a chance of thunderstorms each day with the best chances (other than tonight) coming on Friday. Temperatures will moderate a bit back down into the lower 80's this weekend and the start of next week.

Thunderstorms Return For Thursday

A 50/50 shot at storms on Thursday as high temperatures will be in the mid 80's. Some storms have the possibility of reaching strong levels. I don't expect any widespread severe weather Thursday.

Clearing on Thursday night and comfy with a low of 60°. Sunny and nice on Friday with a high in the upper 70's.

The weekend forecast calls for daytime high temperatures in the upper 80's and lows in the mid to upper 60's. There is a slight rain chance on Sunday.

Hot Today and Thunderstorms Tomorrow

Hottest day so far this year occurred yesterday with a high of 89°. We'll top that easily today with highs in the lower to middle 90's across the area. Be sure to observe standard heat precautions if you're outdoors today during the heat of the day.

Tonight we will have a 30% chance of storms after midnight, most likely toward sunrise and a low of 70°. Storms will stay in the forecast for Thursday with cooler temps. Highs in the mid 80's. Thursday night will clear with much cooler temps around 60°. Pleasant on Friday with plenty of sunshine and a high near 80°.

The weekend promises (for now) sunny skies and highs in the upper 80's and lows in the upper 60's.

Rest of Sunday and Start of Next Week

Scattered showers and thunderstorms showing up on radar at 4:30 pm across sections of middle TN. Here is Cookeville, we are in a dry slot for the time being but I do expect showers and thunderstorms to return for tonight and Monday.

Precipitation chances overnight at set at 70% and 50% on Monday with a low tonight of a balmy 66° and the high on Monday of 82°. Showers end on Monday evening with sunny skies for Tuesday and Wednesday with rapidly increasing heat. We'll hit 90°+ on Wednesday.

The rest of the forecast is below.

Good Changes In The Forecast

If there is good news from a tropical storm system, we've gotten it.

Originally, we were looking at some pretty significant rains through the weekend, but chances have decreased dramatically and we will have a fantastic weekend with the best day being Saturday with highs in the upper 70's to around 80°. Only a slight chance for thunderstorms on Sunday with highs in the mid 80's.

I do think we'll have a slight chance for rain on Friday with an occasional thunderstorm but it won't be an all-day rain out.

We see rain chances each day starting next week but they aren't that great (for now).
