Muggy Saturday with Storms Possible This Afternoon

Lines of showers and possibly a thunderstorm are firing across our area at 10:55 am.

We are stuck in a very moist pattern. August is already wetter than normal with more rain falling in the first 10 days than would in an entire month. Almost all of it came on Thursday.

LIKE SOUTH FLORIDA AIR:
With a very tropical-like pattern in place, I expect that the brunt of the rainfall will be mainly in the northwest sections of middle TN around the Clarksville area while here in the Cookeville and surrounding areas we'll see mainly scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs today will be in the middle 80's with dew point readings in the mid to upper 70's (extreme). Any dew point reading over 70° is considered uncomfortable when you combine it with air temperatures over 80°.

STUCK UNTIL TUESDAY:
The thought is we'll be stuck in this moist pattern through Tuesday when the front should push through causing dew points and temperatures to lower. We'll be quite comfortable, especially in the Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau region.

RAIN AMOUNTS:
We have discussed rain amounts extensively in the last two posts. I'll link to both below.
