MM’s 5-Day Forecast

A Chance for Flurries

Clouds will increase today ahead of our next weak system arriving late tonight and Wednesday morning. This system is moisture starved but it should still squeeze out a few showers and some gusty winds. As colder air rushes in behind the system, any leftover moisture will be turned to snow flurries by Wednesday morning. Up to a dusting of snow may be possible on grassy areas. The biggest impact from this system will be the shot of cold air we feel on Wednesday. Gusty northwest winds will make it feel even colder! Thursday will be sunnier, warmer, and calmer. Clouds increase on Friday as out next big storm system gets ready to move in over the weekend. Winds will begin picking up by evening. Rain showers develop after noon on a windy Saturday, with rain increasing in coverage and intensity Saturday night.

A Windy Week & A Chance for Flurries

A weak disturbance will throw clouds across our skies today, with some of those clouds dropping a shower or two this morning. We should see some sunshine this afternoon. Partly cloudy skies will be with us for Tuesday, as clouds increase ahead of our next system. That system is a bit moisture starved, but as colder air blows in, any showers falling Tuesday night will change to snow showers/flurries by Wednesday morning. No accumulation is expected at this time. The biggest impact from this system will be the shot of cold air we feel on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday look sunnier and warmer ahead of our next storm system due in here over the weekend.

Sunday night special update coming this evening to discuss the week ahead, including our snow flurry chances!

Rain Moves Out, Wind Moves In

Showers have moved out this morning, leaving us with a decent finish to the weekend. Winds will increase this afternoon, with gusts to 25 mph possible. A weak disturbance will throw clouds across our skies for the first day of the new work week, with some of those clouds dropping a shower or two Monday morning. Partly cloudy skies will be with us for Tuesday, as clouds increase ahead of our next system. That system is a bit moisture starved, but it will bring a big temperature drop. As colder air blows in, any showers falling Tuesday night will change to snow showers/flurries by Wednesday morning. No accumulation is expected at this time. Thursday looks sunny and warmer.

Hazardous weather is not expected for the next five days.

Yesterday’s Weather Statistics

Past 24 Hour Rainfall

While the heaviest rainfall fell just to our east this weekend, it generally fell where the drought is the worst. In fact, at one point a flood advisory was issued for the city of Knoxville.

On This Day

1926 – Yuma, Arizona, was soaked with 1.10 inch of rain, and by the 10th of the month had received 4.43 inches, making it the wettest December of record. The average annual rainfall for Yuma is 3.38 inches. 

1991 – A very slow moving/stationary cold front finally moves east of the Cumberland Plateau, but not after dropping another quarter inch of rain on the plateau. That front brought three days of rainfall (some heavy) that left much of the plateau flooded and with over half a foot of water in the rain gauges!
