Wx Summary
A slow-moving cold front will bring the risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms today, especially in the afternoon and evening. That rain chance increases further overnight, with most (if not all) of us getting some rain. The front pushes through by Monday morning, leaving us with just a few showers to start our new workday of the new workweek. Behind the front, we’ll see pleasant weather through Thursday.

On This Day
1994- Middle Tennessee is struck by four tornadoes during the evening. The worst is an F-3, which travels a remarkable 38 miles, touching down at Lutts (Wayne County), and traveling southeastward, passing through Iron City and St. Joseph before crossing the Alabama state line. There are 22 injuries, but no fatalities. Six more persons are injured along a four-mile F-2 path near Altamont (Grundy County). And an F-1 touches down near Topsy (Wayne County), cutting a five-mile path, but with no reported injuries.
1917 – 1st US troops arrive in France during World War I.
Almanac
Hurricane Forecast
The yellow-shaded region is drifting westward from the Lousiana coast, so you folks with beach plans to Florida or the Alabama coast will not be affected by this particular system. The system will impact Texas by the start of this workweek.
Another area of low pressure now has a 70% chance for development (red-shaded region). That system may stay too far south to impact the U.S., though it still bears watching in the coming week.
