I am a local meteorologist for the Upper Cumberlands of Tennessee. I absolutely love tracking and forecasting the weather for this region! It is certainly an interesting place for weather!
If you ever want to talk weather you have found an ear! I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing for it!
I hesitated to post about this, because the chance is rather small, but the timing of a rocket launch in the morning may make it possible for us to see the exhaust from the rocket lit by the sun. This has happened before here, though it is unusual. The rocket launches at 4:33 a.m. and would be visible here about five minutes later. They call these “space jellyfish” because that’s kinda what they look like.
Again, IF you’re up at that time it could be something to look for. I’d look southeast.
They can look similar to the photo below. From this distance, it would be much smaller and look farther away.
And this is the forecast for the possible visibility of the rocket’s exhaust.

A disturbance passing through today is overperforming and producing some showers across the region today! I usually don’t like missing a forecast but I’ll take a miss on this one if it gets us some showers. These showers should help lower pollen levels today, as well.
The showers, unfortunately, won’t amount to much at all. The biggest benefit is that the clouds and higher humidity levels will at least keep us from getting drier today.
The next best chance for showers comes Thursday. Right now, that’s not looking too impressive but hopefully those chances will trend upward.
Our next chance for rain comes over the weekend. Right now, those chances look to be about 50/50. Let’s all hope, even though it’s the weekend, that those chances trend upward. Drought conditions continue to worsen across the plateau.
The greatest threat for severe storms for today is across the Upper Midwest. A regional tornado outbreak is expected there today (especially in the orange-shaded region).

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged today. An elevated wildfire risk is expected this afternoon due to low humidity, breezy conditions, and the ongoing drought.

Well, I ended up getting one of those itty bitty showers that we had a 20% chance of getting yesterday! My gauge collected 0.37″ of rain. I was very grateful.
Unfortunately, the outlook for rain looks bleak for the plateau. Even the rain chances at the end of this week are trending downward. Hopefully, we’ll see that trend turn around.
The biggest news today is the elevated wildfire risk.
We have a chance for showers on Thursday. Hopefully that chance doesn’t trend drier than it already has.
There is an elevated risk for wildfires in our region for Sunday. Low humidity, drought conditions, and gusty winds will cause that fire danger to be elevated.

An itty bitty chance for a shower or storm today.
Most of us stay dry today….maybe even all of us. But, at least there’s a chance for a shower or even a storm. That’s thanks to a front moving through the area today. The best chance for a shower or storm is along and north of a line from Livingston to Jamestown to Oneida.
That front is weak but it will pass through and bring drier air to the area on Sunday. That drier air, coupled with gusty winds and drought conditions, will create very elevated wildfire risks across the plateau. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged.
Rain chances may increase for us the end of next week. Fingers crossed!
There is an elevated risk for wildfires in our region for Sunday. Low humidity, drought conditions, and gusty winds will cause that fire danger to be elevated.
A large area of marginal risk can be seen up the centreal U.S. for today, with the greatest risk for severe storms being in the yellow-shaded area of Texas.
I’m beginning to think the best rains will stay to our west through much, if not all, of this month.
The Climate Prediction Center doubled down on their threat of heat the 18th-19th. I’m not sure I have ever seen heat so emphasized in April before. This would not go well with our drought.
