Bringing you your tailor-made local weather forecast since 2017!

MM’s Hourly Forecast

5-Day Forecast

MM says…A hot and humid Monday for the plateau! A storm can’t be ruled out. Better storm chances may come tonight, once again, with another storm complex.

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook

MM’s Weather Worries

My concern will elevate to Level 2 for tonight if a storm complex develops to our north and starts diving south tonight.

MM’s Wx Analysis

A widespread area of severe storms is expected from Kentucky to Michigan today. Some of that may slip south into our neck of the woods tonight.

Yesterday’s Local Weather Stats

The Crossville Airport is the official reporting station for the plateau.

Yesterday’s Storm Reports

The wind damage from last evening’s storms was mostly confined to the western edge of that complex. Oddly, even the storms that bowed out in front of the line, where most wind damage occurs, had much fewer wind damage reports that the storms on the western edge of the cluster of storms.

Radar-Estimated Precip from Yesterday

The map below shows rain from the past six hours. I wanted to show this to show where the rain with last night’s complex of t-storms fell. It’s an interesting pattern!

And this is rain from the past 24 hours.

Things are looking better for us. The worst of the storms dove toward the Nashville area and now we’re left with just a mess of scattered showers and storms across the region. The strongest storm right now is near Monticello, KY, just north of Pickett and Fentress counties. That storm is moving east/southeast.

Overall, things are looking more disorganized. Don’t be surprised if you hear thunder overnight, as there are plenty more scattered showers and storms across Kentucky that could slip our way overnight.

I’ll jump on here if anything were to go severe tonight. You all take care.

Issued July 26, 2026

At this hour, severe t-storms are moving through the Nashville area. The good news is that those storms are pushing south toward Alabama. The storms that we’re watching for the plateau are developing just south of Louisville, Kentucky. Those are the ones I was expecting to develop and push in here sometime around midnight.

Storms have held together very well this evening and that’s thanks to a very warm, muggy, and unstable atmosphere. The storms in Kentucky that I’m tracking our way could certainly grow stronger. That’s something I’ll keep an eye on in the coming hours.

The clouds we’re seeing now are the tops being blown off that big complex of storms blasting through Nashville. Some of you all may even be seeing some rain from these clouds in Putnam and Overton County.

At this time, the Storm Prediction Center isn’t talking about a severe t-storm watch for our area but I’ll keep an eye on that. Regardless, any storm tonight could certainly be on the strong side. I’ll continue to monitor things and let you know if there’s anything you need to know about.

If you choose to go to bed, just make sure you can get an alert if a warning were to be issued. Make sure your weather radio is turned on.

You all take care. Again, I’ll let you know if there’s anything you need to know about.

This is Sunday evening, July 26, 2026

A look at the week ahead and what I’m keeping an eye on, including the risk for storms tonight!

Please take advantage of the FREE weatherTAP radar below! For those of you getting emails, just visit my meteorologistmark.com website or download the Meteorologist Mark app to access the radar.

A severe t-storm watch is in effect until midnight for portions of Kentucky. These will likely be extended south in time.

Bringing you your tailor-made local weather forecast since 2017!

I didn’t change much with this graphic from this morning, except to increase tonight’s rain chances to 70% from the 50% I had forecast this morning. As I see how tonight’s storms interact with us, etc., I may be able to lower rain chances for Monday in the Monday morning forecast update. Stay tuned.

The bars in orange represent the timeframe that I’m currently most concerned with severe storms. Please keep in mind that any storm that forms in this enviroment could rapidly become severe.

5-Day Forecast

MM says…I’m watching for storms dropping in from the northwest through Tuesday. Any storm could pack a punch. Lower humidity on Wednesday and Thursday will feel very nice!

As expected, confidence for Monday and Tuesday has increased since our Friday night update.

MM’s Weather Worries for the Week

Tonight will be a weather alert night. If that threat changes, I will issue special updates to let you know. Hopefully, storms will weaken after sunset. They may also just give us a glancing blow. It’s all something to watch tonight.

Make sure your weather radio is turned on in case we get warnings tonight.

MM’s Wx Analysis

This evening’s weather is active! Those storms diving southward have our attention.

Monday’s weather map is active too! Storms are very close by and we’ll be mindful of that on Monday.

Finally, the cold front pushes through on Tuesday. This front brings a risk for severe storms but it also brings in nicer weather for Wednesday and Thursday.

Our strong jetstream winds aloft continue to be from the northwest, potentially steering strong storms our way from Kentucky.

Additional Analysis

While we don’t have much to talk about in the tropics on our side of the world, the Pacific continues to be very active. This is expected in an El Nino year, when Pacific Ocean waters are warmer than normal. This storm seen here may impact the Hawaiin Islands this week. The brunt of the storm should stay just north of them, but they may still see some impacts.

This storm is an impressive cat 3 today. Notice how pretty it is on satellite. It will stay away from land as it spins out into the open Pacific. Storms have a LOT of room to play in over there!

Past 3 Days Radar-Estimated Rainfall

This is radar-estimated rainfall over the past three days. We continue to make a dent in the regional drought. More areas will likely be removed from drought in Thursday’s update.

The Night Sky & Space Stuff

Wednesday and Thursday night will likely offer some really nice night sky viewing conditions.
