Our summer cold front continues to sluggishly move through the area. Drier air will filter in from the north later this afternoon.

Scattered thunderstorms with severe gusts, hail and a tornado risk are possible near a cold front from the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic tonight. Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Gulf Coast from the panhandle of Florida into Louisiana through Wednesday.

The severe t-storm watch has been cancelled early. A flash flood watch remains in effect until Wednesday morning.

With the front slowing down so much, rain and storm chances may linger into the early afternoon of Wednesday. The NWS said they may extend the flash flood watch past the early morning deadline. I’ll have a full update on this in the morning forecast update.

You all take care and thank you for trusting me with your weather!

Issued July 21, 2026

The warning that was in effect for western Putnam County was cancelled a few minutes early, thanks to the storm weakening substantially on radar.

Storms were very severe earlier in Kentucky. Then, severe storms blew up over the Nashville area. Both of those big batches of storms really drained a lot of the energy from our atmosphere.

The severe storm threat continues to diminish for the plateau. I expect the severe t-storm watch to be cancelled early and I’ll let you know when that happens.

Remember, we remain under a flash flood watch through the night, as this front slowly makes it way south.

A severe t-storm warning has been issued for western Putnam County and much of Jackson County (including Gainsboro). This is does not include Baxter or Cookeville. This warning expires at 9:00 pm. There has been some rotation with this storm. Straight-line winds to 70 mph are being indicated by Doppler west of Carthage. The warned area can be seen on the map below in orange. A severe t-storm watch remains in effect until midnight (unless cancelled early).

If you know anyone traveling on I-40 west of Baxter this evening make sure they’re aware of this storm.
