Wx Summary
Another hot and humid day is in store for the plateau, with only slight rain chances. A cold front will pass through on Friday and bring a bit better chance for rain. Behind that front, a less humid air mass will settle in. Saturday looks pleasant but by Sunday that dry air starts heating up. We start the week with another, albeit less humid, heat wave.

Three-Day Rainfall Forecast
Drought Outlook
Drought info can be found at my link at https://meteorologistmark.com/drought-info/. The maps update each Thursday.
On This Day
1944 – A tornado in Sioux City, Iowa, traveled an odd course. It spun in one place for about twenty minutes, made a U-turn, traveled southeast for about three miles, then traveled south, east, north, and finally east again.
1858 – Abraham Lincoln says “A house divided against itself cannot stand” accepting Illinois Republican Party’s nomination for the Senate.
Almanac
Hurricane Forecast
The disturbance in the Caribbean is struggling and the struggle looks to continue in the days ahead. Interaction with land is really tearing this system apart. It now has only a 20% chance of developing into a tropical storm.
MM Classes for Kids
Last night’s class at TCAT Crossville was a huge success! I’ll be doing it again at the Roane State Campus in Clarkrange this evening at 5:00!

You all have a great day and keep lookin’ up!
for the last few days your email forecast has been physically enlarged when I view it. Not related to my browser settings.
Thanks for letting me know. WordPress had an update that originally made my text super small on mobile devices. It seems now the opposite is true. Hopefully, they’ll get this all straightened out soon.
