Severe T-Storm Watch for East TN

Issued July 28, 2026 at 12:20 pm

The Storm Prediction Center just issued a severe t-storm watch for East TN until 7:00 pm CDT. If you’re planning to travel that direction this afternoon/evening or know someone who is, this needs to be considered. An isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.

As for the plateau, we’re right on the western edge of this. This doesn’t mean our risk is zero, but it is much lower compared to folks just to our east. A map of the watch can be seen below. This does not include Scott or Morgan County, but it’s too close for comfort.

As you all know, I’ll keep a very close eye on things and issue special updates, as needed.

Other important weather information will be shared when needed. This includes additional severe weather information, model data, drought info, hurricane info, and more. Some of these can be found as tabs to this page at any time.

10:00pm Mon Night Weather Update

Issued July 27, 2026

Good evening, folks! Severe t-storm watches have now been extended south to the TN/KY border, so you folks in Pickett and northern Fentress county are just a rock’s throw from that watch. It’s looking more like these storms will skirt just to our east and they should weaken as they continue southward in the coming hours. Still, you folks in Scott and Morgan counties may have the best chance for thunder later tonight.

In this enviroment, it’s hard to let your guard down about storms. Last night we had some noise makers near Byrdstown and northern Fentress county. I heard the thunder down here in Rinnie. Several of you messaged me making sure I wasn’t worried about those storms. You all are always welcome to do that. I know night storms can be scarier.

I’ll keep an eye on things and I’ll issue special updates, if needed. I’m about to step out and see if I can spot any distant lightning. You can see it for MILES away from on top of this plateau.

You all have a good evening!

7:00 pm Monday Wx Update Concerning Storms

Issued July 27, 2026

Well folks, another night….another complex of storms to track. Last night, many of us were spared. There is a disorganized mess of storms coming into northern Kentucky at this hour. Those are pushing south but will likely weaken before getting here in the midnight to 2:00 a.m. timeframe. I suspect they will begin weakening after sunset.

I will, of course, keep a very close eye on these storms and issue any special updates, if needed.

FYI, these storms may make for some impressive lightning on the northern horizon later this evening. If you like looking for that, be sure and start looking after 9:00 pm or so.
