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!

High pressure remains in control, but it’s losing its grip…

Today we’ll see more clouds than sun in our sky, along with gusty southerly winds and unseasonably warm temps. In fact, we’ll be running more than 20° above normal for high temps today (even our morning lows are above our normal highs!). High pressure is losing its grip just enough for us to be at a 20% threat for an isolated shower or storm this afternoon. The area at greatest risk for that activity would be for those of you around Cookeville, Livingston, Byrdstown, and Jamestown.

On Friday, rain chances remain at 20-30% across the region. Those rain chances would be in the form of an isolated shower or storm once again.

By Saturday, rain chances increase for everyone, along with the risk for t-storms. Right now, there’s not too much concern for severe weather, but I’ll continue to monitor that closely. It basically looks like a good rain with rumbles of thunder and gusty winds.

By Sunday, the thunder threat should be over but the shower threat remains. A chance for showers will continue for Monday. Next week looks mild and unsettled.

Clouds, warmth, and southerly breezes continue…

The above average temps continue and those will continue for the foreseeable future. As I said on Facebook yesterday, don’t let your guard down. We’ve definitely not had our last frost. Don’t get too excited about planting just yet.

For now, we’ll just see partly to mostly cloudy skies, southerly breezes, and lots of warmth. The high that is keeping us dry will break down enough on Friday to allow for at least a 20% chance for a shower or storm. By the weekend, the high really breaks down as the next storm system moves in. That will lead to widespread showers and thunderstorms. The concern for severe storms this weekend is really low, but I’ll continue to keep a close eye on that. Indications are that the mild temps continue into next week.

Blessed with clouds and March winds this week…

These clouds could, at about any time, drop a sprinkle over the next few days. Those chances actually hit 10% on Thursday and perhaps 20% on Friday. It’s not until Saturday that this weak ridge of high pressure breaks down enough to finally let the western storm systems make their way eastward into our neck of the woods.

So, you’ll hear all sorts of news about severe weather to our west this week. That may make you wonder about what we will get when that gets here. Well, so far it looks like we may get off easy with this one. By the time it gets here, it may be too washed out to do much of anything. I’ll keep an eye on it, but right now I’m not too concerning. We just can’t let our guard down when fronts come through this time of year.

Showers for our Monday.

And those rain showers will be with us throughout the day. In fact, they will likely increase in coverage this afternoon before tapering off this evening.

The rest of the week’s weather is dominated by high pressure. It’s not the strongest high pressure, but it’s just enough to keep the heaviest rain and strongest storms off to our west. As we get to the weekend, this high should break down just enough to allow for the rain to get here.

This high is positioned off the Southeast coastline, which means it’s a very warm southerly flow into our neck of the woods. Some of the high temps I have on the five day forecast below may be a couple of degrees too low.
