High pressure is bringing pleasant conditions to our area today behind the front that passed through yesterday. Notice active weather is already returning to the central U.S. and some of that may impact us late Wednesday night.

Special update issued August 17 at 7:25 pm

As expected, the severe t-storm watch has been cancelled early. It was cancelled a while ago but I wanted to make sure the storm that developed in northern Cumberland County had dissipated before letting you all know the threat was certain to have passed.

Look for partly cloudy skies to develp the rest of the evening, with patchy dense fog possible as we go through the night.

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

Special update issued August 17

Things continue to slowly improve for us, folks. There are still some showers and storms on the radar but nothing has been severe for a while now. The storms in East TN are taking a lot of the energy, in addition to all the showers and storms we’ve already had on the plateau.

I suspect our severe t-storm watch will be cancelled within the next couple of hours. I’ll still keep an eye on things, just to be safe.

The trend is in our favor!

Special update issued August 17

While East TN is dealing with numerous severe storms at this hour, our storms are on a generally weakening trend. I continue to believe that you folks in Overton, Pickett, and Fentress country are through with the severe storm threat. Those of you west of Cookeville re likely through with the threat, as well.

As for the rest of us, things should slowly improve as we go through the rest of the evening. The numerous showers and storms that fired off this afternoon have really helped stabilize our atmosphere.

Still, we have a very humid airmass across the plateau and for those of us along and south of a line from Cookeville to Monterey to Wartburg we may still get a strong storm or two over the next hour.

I’ll keep an eye on things!

Overall, I’m feeling better and better.
