Today is Wednesday, September 23, 2026

I have updated some of this morning’s slides to account for the lowered severe storm threat for today. Extensive cloud cover has helped keep the atmosphere more stable. We could still some strong storms, perhaps even an isolated severe storm, but that threat has decreased from this morning’s forecast.

I’ll issue any special updates, if needed, throughout the day.

We’re watching for an upper level disturbance to swing through the area this afternoon. It can be seen in the satellite imagery below as that dark area coming into Nashville now. That will move east and should kick off showers and storms for us this afternoon.

Thank You, Sponsors!

11:30 Update: Extensive cloud cover and cooler temps are really putting a damper on our severe threats today. The Storm Prediction Center has now lowered our threats and removed the marginal risk for our region in their 11:30 update. Therefore, it is no longer an MM weather alert day. We’ll still be on the lookout for storms, but they should stay below severe limits. I’ll still keep an eye on things.

An area of low pressure moving through the Deep South will bring periods of heavy rainfall to eastern Tennessee and Kentucky today. This will also bring rain to us on the plateau. Elsewhere, flash flooding is a serious threat for nearly all of New Mexico and into southern Colorado. A powerful cat 5 Hurricane Polo can be seen off the western coast of Mexico.

Today is Monday, September 21, 2026

10:48 Update: At least 3,363 households are without power in Cumberland County (likely due to a lightning strike). As you can see on the map below, we have more power outages than any other county in TN.

Storms are on a general and gradual weakening trend. Still, I’ll keep an eye on things. Heavy downpours continue across the plateau this evening. Hopefully the lightning and thunder continue to diminish so that folks can get some sleep. Things should get quieter by midnight.

Please be safe if you’re out and about tonight. Visibility can drop to near zero and it can be hard to know how deep the water is on the roads. Don’t be out if you don’t have to.
