Issued Saturday morning, February 7, 2026
I found out yesterday that I’ve been selected to represent Tennessee Tech at the National Science Foundation annual meeting in Golden, Colorado, in March! This is quite the honor. I’ll even have the opportunity to present some of my research that I’m doing on the southern Appalachians! If you’ll recall, I’m studying the impacts of drought on that region, as well as the transition times into and out of drought conditions, which can be quite dramatic and abrupt (ie. Hurricane Helene hit as the region was in severe drought). The Cumberland Plateau is included in my study region. I’ll be sharing much more about this in the coming months!

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!
Cold and windy Saturday…
Temps will struggle to climb to freezing today, with many of us staying below freezing today. The north wind will make it feel about ten degrees colder. Temps drop into the teens tonight, making for a very frosty Sunday morning.
By Sunday afternoon, a switch of the winds to the south will help bring in warmer air! It also brings in more clouds, which will hinder warming a bit. By Monday, southerly breezes and abundant sunshine will combine to create a dramatic warming trend!
As is almost always the case this time of year, that southerly flow also increases rain chances. It had looked like the rain showers could begin Tuesday afternoon, but it now looks as if those showers may hold off until after dark. Those showers persist into Wednesday, making for a rather wet Wednesday.
