MM’s Forecast for the Plateau
This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!
A beautiful Friday on the plateau. Enjoy!
We need the rain but we’ll enjoy the sunny and cooler weather. We all know summer’s heat is just around the corner. There are indications that this summer may be hotter and drier than normal….
Speaking of dry. Seven day rainfall totals on the plateau will likely stay below one half inch. That’s not good for our severe drought. Spring rainfall opportunities are running out and we need to get rain in the gauge sooner than later.
Our next chance for an isolated shower comes Saturday. A better chance for rain comes Sunday but guidance has trended down with that precip.
Then, we see a beautiful start to the workweek. We might need to be mindful of scattered frost Monday night. I’ll keep an eye on that.
