Side note: Track Artemis at https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/ (I advise doing the short tutorial they provide). There are also apps you can download to track Artemis. They are currently coasting toward the Moon.
Check out this amazing picture from this Artemis mission! Can you imagine looking out your window and seeing this?! Wow! Also, for persective, that landmass is Africa upside down. lol

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau
Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast! Bringing you your local weather since 2017!
This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!
Today we’re enjoying a nice day before rain and storms move in tonight.
The bulk of today is looking good, with only a chance for an afternoon or evening shower or storm. The better rain chances come later this evening as a cold front approaches. That front will kick off showers and storms and a few of those storms could be strong. An isolated severe storm with a damaging wind gust can’t be ruled out. I’ll monitor that threat closely.
Showers move out by mid-morning Easter Sunday. Will they move out in time for sunrise services? Well, it will be a close call! The bulk of the rain will move east by then but leftover showers can’t be ruled out. I’ll fine tune that as we go through today.
Clearer skies and calmer winds will lead to scattered frost Sunday night. We’ll see chances for frost again Monday and Tuesday nights.
Threat Outlook
Today’s threats stretch from Texas to New England. The Cumberland Plateau is included in the marginal risk, which is the lowest of the five risk categories, and that is mainly for tonight. I’ll monitor closely.

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook
Extended outlooks continue to paint a very wet picture across the lower Mississippi River Valley. Notice they now extend some of that into our neck of the woods. Hopefully we’ll see some beneficial rainfall mid-April with this set-up.
