MM’s Wx Concerns
Today’s Stats
Almanac for Yesterday
National High Temps for Today
If this were January we would be calling this the January thaw! Much of the country is enjoying above normal temps today.
National Low Temps for Tonight
Much above-normal temps have invaded the northern plains, giving them very mild overnight lows for this time of year.
24-Hour Temperature Change
Temps are considerably warmer for much of Tennessee and Kentucky compared to this time yesterday. The valley of East Tennessee was sheltered from the southerly winds this morning, which left them colder than surrounding higher elevations. That shows up very well on this map!
On This Day in Wx History
2001- Heavy rainfall event spanning two days ends with significant localized and river flooding across much of western Middle Tennessee. Some stations report large precipitation totals spanning the two days, including Clifton (8.44″), Dover (7.02″), Waverly (5.90″), Linden (5.77″), Lobelville (5.35″), Pinewood (5.10″), and Centerville (5.06″). The Stewart County Highway Department reports 14.6″ of rainfall in 24 hours, and 24″ over ten days.
