Local 5-Day Forecast for the Plateau

Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast! Bringing you your local weather since 2017!

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

A beautiful sunny Saturday!

Winds will be calm, the sun shining bright, and temps will be downright pleasant for our Saturday. What a great day to get outside and what a great way to end February!

Sunday is looking dry but not nearly as sunny and not quite as warm as today. A cold front will move across the plateau in the morning, bringing clouds and a shift of the winds to the north. It should be a dry front but cooler temps move in behind that front.

By late Sunday night, moisture begins trying to develop across the region. Those rain chances are higher the closer to the Kentucky border you are. Also, with temps hovering in the mid 30s for northern areas, I wouldn’t be surprised if wet snowflakes mix in for you folks along and north of a line from Livingston to Jamestown to Oneida. Everything is 100% liquid by mid-morning Monday, as winds switch back to the south and warmer air quickly returns.

Right now, Tuesday and Wednesday look dry, though our skies will be plentiful with clouds. Winds will be kicking up, as well, but at least they’ll be warm winds.

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook

Above normal temps and above normal precip often lead to severe weather and/or flooding this time of year. This looks like an especially high threat up the Mississippi River Valley. I’ll keep an eye on things for us!

Sunshine returns!

These sunny skies will be with us through Saturday. Clouds start building back in by Sunday, but we should still have a dry day.

By later Sunday night and especially on Monday, showers will return. Right now, those rain chances look higher for you folks north of the interstate (70%), with slightly lower chances (50%) south of the interstate.

A quick shot of cold air will sink into Kentucky on Sunday and some of that could slip just past the Tennessee border. Those of you along and north of a line from Livingston to Jamestown to Oneida may see some wet snowflakes mix in with your rain Sunday night. I’ll keep a close eye on that.

Mild weather continues through the five day and beyond. Unsettled weather next week may bring some storm threats, but nothing looks too concerning at this point. I’ll keep you posted!

Much needed rainfall moves out…

Our rainfall from last night, along with some rumbles of thunder, is moving east this morning. Still, we’ll be left with cloudy skies, drizzle, and scattered showers through the noon hour. Skies should clear overnight, which could lead to fog development.

Friday and Saturday look sunny, mild, and beautiful. Even the winds will be light.

By Sunday, clouds will start to increase as we go through the day. Our next rain system may move in late Sunday night. Temps during this time are a bit uncertain, as a cold front will be hanging out just to our north. If that front slips farther south, we’ll have a colder rain Sunday night. At this time, the risk for wintry precip looks low but I’ll keep an eye on that, especially for you folks closer to the Kentucky border.

A stormier patter may develop by the end of next week. I’ll also keep you posted on that.

I had over an inch of rain by midnight, while Crossville just had this 0.35. There was quite the difference between northern Cumberland County and southern Cumberland County with rainfall last night! This morning, I have over 3″ of rain in my gauge!

It’s been interesting watching radar this evening. I have nearly half an inch of rain at my house in northern Cumberland County and it’s still absolutely pouring. Some of you have barely seen a sprinkle. If this were snow, I’d likely have about half a foot of snow right now. LOL

All of us will get in on the rain as we go through the evening, with rumbles of thunder even possible. I’m still expecting 1-1.5 inches of rain from this system across the plateau.

I will add that it now looks like most of the rain will move out by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. Most of Thursday is looking cloudy and mild.

Current radar shows a split Cumberland County, with northern portions getting a good soaking rain this evening and southern portions barely getting anything. Activity is moving east. All of us will get rain before the night is through.
