This is just a quick update to let you all know that Fentress, Pickett, and Overton counties have just been dropped from the flood watch. Tonight’s rain is not expected to be heavy enough to cause flooding concerns for you all.
Cumberland, Putnam, White, Van Buren, Rhea, and Bledsoe counties remain in the watch through Saturday morning. I have 1.11″ so far in my gauge here in northern Cumberland County. The counties remaining in the watch might expect another inch or so of rain before all is said and done. Those of you north of a line from Cookeville to Clarkrange to Warburg can expect another 1/2 inch or so.
The counties remaining in the watch can be seen highlighted below. Please see the noon update for even more weather info.

A flood watch is in effect through Saturday morning. Be especially careful in road construction areas that may have poor drainage.
The break in widespread rainfall that we’ve been expecting for this afternoon is right on track. The back edge of the widespread rainfall is moving onto the western edge of the plateau at this noon hour. A few showers will still be possible this afternoon, before more widespread rainfall develops later this evening.
The short term radar below shows the widespread rain returning this evening and overnight. A few storms can’t be ruled out. I’ll keep an eye on things and issues updates, as needed.

Local 5-Day Forecastfor the Plateau
Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast!Bringing you your local weather since 2017!
Rain, rain, rain….than cold!
The severe threat remains very low with this storm system. The main focus is the beneficial rainfall. We just don’t want too much rain to fall too quickly. A flood watch is in effect through Saturday morning.
After morning rain and thunder, we’ll get a bit of a break this afternoon. Then, more rain and thunder moves in later tonight. This is when the flood risk will peak.
Sunday brings much colder weather, along with a morning flurry. Monday and Tuesday look sunny and mild for this time of year.
Active weather on the horizon means some of you all will be fealing it!
Threat Outlook
The low-end risk of severe weather is even lower today. I was able to completely remove the low-end tornado and hail threat. We still can’t rule out a strong storm and we are certainly still mindful of the heavy rain threat. A flood watch is in effect through Saturday morning.

Good evening! The powerful storm system that will bring us rounds of rain and storms is taking shape to our west tonight. We’ll feel the first “punch” from it Friday morning. The weather map currently shows the first piece coming together, which is the warm front that will be lifting north tonight. It is currently stretched from Nashville to Chattanooga and moving north. Ahead of the warm front, the air is rather dry. Behind the warm front, the air is very moist. This will set the stage for showers and storms through Saturday morning.
The modeled map below shows the surge of warm, moist air moving northward by Friday morning (the yellow colors). Notice how far north that airmass surges! The Gulf is unusually warm for this time of year, and that can add even more moisture to our air.
A vigourous jet stream aloft will also allow rain and storms to exist. That active and windy jet will be in our vicinity through Saturday. For a more indepth look at the meteorology behind our storm system, please see my YouTube update that I put out this evening (found at the start of this update).
Level 2 means that Friday and Saturday will be Meteorologist Mark Weather Alert Days (along with Friday night).
Nothing much has changed with this since my last update.

I made a few changes to this graphic to reflect the lower rain chances Friday afternoon. Right now, it looks like Friday morning will be very wet, followed by a bit of a break in the afternoon, followed by another surge of moisture later Friday night into Saturday morning.
