MM’s Forecast for the Plateau
This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!
Cooler temps continue through the weekend. Frost is likely Saturday night.
The next chance for rain arrives Tuesday afternoon/evening and especially overnight. That system will bring showers and storms to the area. It is unclear at this point if there will be a risk for severe storms.
Another sharp cool down is looking more likely around the 8th of May, which could mean more frost for the plateau. We’re not typically safe from frost until May 15, though we have had frost through the end of May. The latest frost on record is June 3, 1956 (33°).
Be sure to follow this site and/or download the free Meteorologist Mark app from your app store to get updates about the weather of the Cumberland Plateau sent to your phone as soon as I send them out. Thank you all so much!
Threat Outlook
The map below shows tornado warnings issued (not confirmed) per state for the month of April. Only six tornado warnings have been issued across the state of TN in April. That is remarkable! Look at the rest of the Southeast! Zero from Alabama to Virginia. Remarkable, indeed.
Today’s severe weather threats are confined to the northern beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as mainly coastal regions of Texas.
