Today’s Stats
Almanac for Yesterday
On This Day in Wx History
1898 – Torrents of rain accompanied by a furious wind upset the rain gage at Fort Mohave, Arizona. However, water in a wash tub set out on the mesa, clear of everything, measured eight inches after the 45 minute storm.

Tropics
Hurricane Ida will gather strength today in the Gulf of Mexico, possibly evolving into a major hurricane by tonight. That storm will then march onto the coast last Sunday night, bringing catastrophic impacts to portions of the Louisiana coastline.
The storm will then head northeast toward the plateau. On this forecast track, impacts would be rather high for our area. Gusty winds that could become locally damaging, flooding rains, and isolated tornadoes would all be possible across the Cumberland Plateau. I’ll keep a very close eye on this!
