MM’s Forecast Update for the Plateau

Our front is struggling to produce showers and storms this afternoon. The greater threat for such development will likely be to the east of Cumberland and Fentress counties. I’m reducing the rain chances today from 70% to 50%. Scattered shrs and storms will remain a possbility through the evening.

The severe storm threat has decreased, as well. Again, the greater risk for a strong or severe storm will likely stay east of us in Fentress and Cumberland counties. I’ll keep an eye on things for you folks in Morgan and Rhea counties. If anyone has travel plans toward Knoxville this evening make sure you pay attention to the weather, just in case a severe storm develops over that way this evening.

The boundary responsible for storms has moved onto the plateau. I’d say that the severe threat has ended for today for you folks along and west of a line from Byrdstown, to Livingston, to Cookeville, to Sparta.

I’ll keep an eye on the radar and let you know if there’s anything you need to know about! We’ll remain weather aware, just in case.

Hopefully our system for Saturday night and Sunday brings us all some rain. We have a rainfall deficit of over 9″ and climbing. In the summer of 1988 we had a deficit of rainfall this bad and we went on to have one of the hottest and driest summers on record. Let’s hope we don’t repeat that.

Again, I’ll keep an eye on the radar and let you know if anything develops that you need to know about.

Threat Outlook for the Plateau

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

Watching for storms this afternoon and evening.

This morning we’re seeing a weakening line of storms push into Middle TN. This will continue to weaken. However, more energy, along with heat and humidity, will cause storms to refire along this frontal boundary this afternoon and evening. Any storm that does develop could contain a damaging wind gust, hail, and torrential rainfall. The tornado risk is super low.

Winds today will be a bit breezy, gusting from the southwest at up to 20 mph.

Saturday looks mostly dry before another system moves in Saturday night and Sunday with more showers and storms likely. Sunday will also bring breezy southwest winds of up to 20 mph. Storms Saturday night may pack a punch. I’ll keep a close eye on that.

By Tuesday, northwest breezes usher in low humidity, making for an absolutely beautiful day.

Today’s Hour-By-Hour Forecast

With the scattered nature of storms, it’s hard to pinpoint an hour where rain chances will be highest. Keep an eye on the radar if you’re out and about.

Expected Rainfall Totals for the Next Two Days

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

It looks like a hot and humid day on the plateau.

High pressure is firmly in control, and that should keep us dry again today.

By Friday, another front brings a much greater risk for showers and storms. Some of the storms could be strong/severe. They could also produce torrential rainfall. I’ll keep an eye on that.

Winds on Friday will be a bit breezy, gusting from the southwest at up to 20 mph.

Saturday looks dry before another system moves in Sunday and Monday with more showers and storms likely. Sunday will also bring breezy southwest winds of up to 20 mph.

On This Day

Cumberland County Tornado: This EF1 tornado touched down near Highway 70 about 3.6 miles northwest of downtown Crossville. A home on the south side of Highway 70 west of Ivey Road was destroyed when it slid off its foundation, and a couple of outbuildings were destroyed on the north side of the highway. The tornado weakened as it moved northeast, but was widely visible and several local residents captured it on video. The tornado crossed Interstate 40 and caused minor damage to a hotel roof before lifting near Highway 127.

Fentress County Tornado #1: This low end EF-1 tornado touched down west of the intersection of Bicknell Rd. and Leamon Hall Rd. and traveled toward the ENE before lifting west of Larue Lane Dozens of trees were uprooted and snapped causing damage to two homes and a few outbuildings. High resolution satellite imagery was very helpful in determining the path of this tornado.

Fentress County Tornado #2: This EF-1 tornado touched down south of the Jamestown Municipal Airport near Highway 127 and traveled over 11 miles toward the east-northeast before lifting near Charley Hull Loop Road. The tornado uprooted and snapped hundreds of trees along the path. Over a dozen outbuildings and barns were completely destroyed, and several houses sustained roof and window damage. Local residents captured the tornado on video. High resolution satellite imagery was very helpful in determining the path of this tornado.

The paths are seen on the map below as blue lines.

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

Rain chances continue to trend down for today and tomorrow.

Still, with this much heat and humidity, there is always the risk for an isolated shower or storm, especially in the afternoon and evening.

By Friday, another front brings a much greater risk for showers and storms. Some of the storms could be strong/severe. They could also produce torrential rainfall. I’ll keep an eye on that.

Saturday looks dry before another system moves in Sunday with more showers and storms.
