Special Note
I have created my first MM newsletter and it is now available to view! This first one will be free to let you get an idea of what you get with the subscription. That subscription will only be $6 a month, or you can save $12 by signing up for one year at $60. Payment info will be available soon.
Proceeds from the newsletter will go toward my education outreach programs (esp my MM Kids Class!) and maintenance of both this and the paid site. All of the info here at this site has been free for three years. What you see here today is what I intend to continue to offer here, for free, including life-saving storm information during severe weather events. The main thing that is changing is that I now have a product to sell, the newsletter, to help maintain these sites and allow you to continue to receive the information you get here.
I believe this newsletter will be quite successful. I have always believed that hard work, persistence, and passion pay off. Won’t you give the newsletter a try today at https://meteorologistmarkpro.com/!

MM’s Wx Concerns
Any storm that develops this time of year tends to have lots of lighting. Please be safe if you’re caught outside during a storm.
High heat and humidity levels will lead to dangerously hot conditions in the afternoons this week, especially on Wednesday and Thursday. Be safe if you must be outside.
Hay Weather Forecast
Today’s Stats (New!)
Almanac for Yesterday
On This Day in Wx History
1980- Crossville sets its 5th consecutive daily record high temperature with a reading of 95 degrees.
Yesterday’s National Temperature Extremes
High: 118° at Death Valley, California
Low: 25° at Mackay, Idaho
Today’s Tennessee Weather
Scattered thunderstorms will once again develop today across the state, especially this afternoon. Storm coverage will be least across West Tennessee and that will allow for hotter temperatures there. Heat advisories are in effect for that portion of the state again today, as afternoon highs climb into the mid 90s. Elsewhere, more clouds and scattered storms will lead to afternoon highs near 90 degrees. High humidity levels will make temps feel much hotter than they are.
Tonight’s Tennessee Weather
A few storms linger into the early evening for the middle and eastern regions of the state. Otherwise, look for clear to partly cloudy skies tonight. Muggy overnight lows will only fall to near 80 across the westernmost region of the state, while lows fall into the low to mid 70s elsewhere.
Tomorrow’s Tennessee Weather
Afternoon storm chances continue for Middle and East Tennessee again for Wednesday, though coverage should be less than that of Tuesday’s storms. West Tennessee will likely stay dry, which will allow afternoon temps to combine with high humidity to form a dangerously hot day there. Heat advisories will be needed once again and those advisories may extend into Middle Tennessee , as well.
Tropics
The system that will likely become Tropical Storm Fred continues to look like a threat to the US Gulf Coast. Anyone with travel plans to the Coast should monitor this very closely. A hurricane hunter is scheduled to investigate this system this morning.
Sun & Moon
Drought Monitor
The drought monitor is updated each Thursday.
