Remember the 20% chance for an isolated shower or storm this evening? Well, I found the storm! It’s on the western edge of Fentress County and sliding south. How long will it hold together? Probably not for much longer. However, perhaps another shower or storm can fire up before midnight, like the one you see to the east in southern Kentucky. Fingers crossed.
The radar image below shows that storm west of northern Fentress County. It was severe earlier but has already weakened dramatically. These types of storms tend to collapse pretty quickly after sunset. We do have a weak front moving in, so maybe that will be enough to keep it going or kick off another one.
The hottest day of the week is here. Be safe in the afternoon heat. By tonight, a weak “cold” front will pass through, possibly kicking off a shower. Behind this front, we’ll enjoy a couple more dry days. Over the weekend, the weather becomes a bit unsettlled, leading to some low rain chances. Those chances may increase to as much as 50% by Sunday night. Keep in mind that there remain no significant rain chances in sight.

A dry airmass is in place for the plateau this week, with the only chance of rain (albeit slight) coming Wednesday night. Look for warm/hot afternoon highs with low humidity. Overnight lows will be rather comfortable due to low humidity levels.
