MM’s Level of Concern
MM’s Forecast for the Plateau
This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!
We’ll see some clouds and sun today, as temps warm nicely into the afternoon. There is a 20% chance for an isolated shower or storm. Those of you along and north of a line from Livingston to Jamestown to Oneida may come closer to seeing one of those storms.
In a bit of a surprising move, the Storm Prediction Center highlighted much of Kentucky in a severe storm threat for today. That activity is expected to stay north of the TN/KY border. If you’re headed into Kentucky today just pay attention to the weather.
The heat cranks up around here by Sunday and Monday. At least it looks like we’ll have a nice breeze to go along with that heat, though!
Thankfully, that heat is quickly followed by decent rain chances for Tuesday afternoon and evening. That chance is followed by an even better chance by Wednesday. That leads to an unsettled pattern that will likely be with us through the next weekend.
